Even though brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher reunited on tour this year, the brotherly love hasn’t always been there.
The two members of Oasis haven’t toured or made music together in years as their famous feud would sometimes erupt into fist fights on stage. But this year, the brothers appeared to reconcile and are touring the world together.
Just a few years ago, however, their rivalry was alive and well – and Donald Trump got dragged in as well, years before Elon Musk’s AI bot Grok raised concerns about Trump’s cognitive ability. In 2018, on the red carpet at the VO5 NME Awards, Liam was asked who his biggest villain was. That year’s award for Biggest Villain ended up going to Piers Morgan, but Liam had someone else in mind.

“Gotta be Noel,” he responded. “I’m being serious. You’re laughing, but he’s worse than Kim-Jun f—— Tung or whatever he’s called.”

Liam elaborated, naming another world leader that he believed was worse than his brother. “And he’s worse than Donald Trump. He’s the biggest liar and biggest faker in the business, so yeah, him,” he said. “He’s worse than Piers Morgan as well.”
This isn’t the only time that Liam slammed Trump, once referring to him as a “d—.” Noel has also been critical of the president, calling his environmental policies “pretty f—— scary.”

While Liam and Noel have shared their thoughts on the president, the brothers have been advised to steer away from U.S. politics ahead of touring the country, which kicks off in Chicago on August 28. The band will play Chicago, Illinois, East Rutherford, New Jersey, and Pasadena, California before heading off to countries like Japan, Australia, and Brazil.
Entertainment manager Jonathan Shalit offered advice to the band before their U.S. dates later this month. “My advice to Oasis is simple: stay out of American politics,” he said. “If they want their U.S. tour to go ahead without disruption, it would be wise to keep quiet on all things Trump.”
This advice came after a French scientist was denied entry into the United States due to anti-Trump remarks found on his phone back in March.
So far, Oasis’ tour hasn’t had any chaos or fights breaking out on stage. When they returned to the stage after a ten-year hiatus last month, Liam addressed the crowd.
During their first show, which took place in Cardiff, Wales at the Principality Stadium, thousands of fans welcomed them back with cheers.
After performing a few songs, Liam addressed the crowd for the first time, declaring, “Hey, beautiful people, it’s been too long,” before the band started playing their 1995 hit song, Morning Glory.”
