Blur's Alex James Is 'DELIGHTED For The Gallagher Boys'

Alex James joined the Chris Evans Breakfast Show yesterday to turn the pages of his new book 'Over the Rainbow: Tales From An Unexpected Year' ✍️

He also shares his thoughts on the Oasis reunion tour, how likely Blur are to do another huge similar stadium tour, and how he knows Banksy.

Taken from an interview with The Observer: "I'm so happy for them, Delighted. They're great. I like them."

"You know, there's some people - mentioning no names - that when they walk in a room, you're like: 'Oh, f**king hell, he's here.' But when either of them walk into a room, it's like: 'Heyyy.' He's an incredible singer, Liam, and he can't help being a rock star. And it's nice that they waited till we got our s**t out the way, you know? That's very good manners."

Noel Gallagher On The Oasis Gigs Next Year And More

Noel Gallagher claimed last week at the ‘Zoë Law: Legends’ exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London that the 2025 Oasis reunion shows will not be “as raucous as back in the day”.

Noel was asked whether he believed if he or Liam would behave as wildly as they did in their heyday. 

“No, it won’t be as raucous as back in the day, because we’re on the wrong side of 50 now, so we’re too old, We’re too old to give a sh*t now, so there won’t be any fallouts, there won’t be any fighting. It’s a lap of honour for the band.”

During the same event he said what his Mother Peggy thought of the reunion  “My mum never gave a sh*t, never,” he added. “You know what Irish mums are like?”

“When we told her we were getting back together, she said, ‘Sure, that will be nice’. That was it.”
