Both acts are among this year\u2019s inductees<\/a> along with Billy Idol<\/a>,\u00a0Iron Maiden<\/a>,\u00a0Joy Division<\/a>\/New Order<\/a>, Sade<\/a>, Luther Vandross and\u00a0Wu-Tang Clan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the past, Noel Gallagher<\/a> was outspoken about Collins during his younger days as shown in the 2016 documentary Supersonic<\/a>, when he described him as \u201cthe antichrist of music\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re gonna get rid of Phil Collins and Sting<\/a>,\u201d said Noel. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to get in the charts and stamp them out. I want the severed head of Phil Collins in my fridge by the end of this decade. And if I haven\u2019t, I\u2019ll be a failure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gallagher continued to criticise Collins in interviews over the years, encouraging people to vote Labour in the 1997 general election to stop Collins, then living in Switzerland, from moving back to the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Conservatives get in, Phil Collins is threatening to come back and live here. And let\u2019s face it, none of us want that,\u201d he told The Guardian at the time (via MOJO<\/a>). Collins subsequently hit back, dismissing Oasis as \u201crude, horrible\u2026 and not as talented as they think\u201d in an interview with the Irish Examiner in 2005.<\/p>\n

Now, speaking to MOJO in a new interview, Collins spoke about the forthcoming Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 2026 ceremony and the possibility of bumping into Oasis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe [Hall Of Fame] inductees have all been invited to a lunch before the ceremony. Which will be interesting, as I\u2019m sure to bump into Oasis.\u201d said Collins who apparently learned more about Noel\u2019s \u201cantichrist\u201d comment after he allegedly told a writer that Collins\u2019 performance had scared him when he attended a Genesis gig \u201ccompletely out of it\u201d in the \u201980s.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I\u2019ve thought this through and although Noel didn\u2019t specify what song it was, I reckon it was [Genesis<\/a> single] \u2018Mama\u2019, where I go (recites the lyric) \u2018Ha-ha-ha\u2026 Oww,\u2019 with the light under my face,\u201d added Collins. \u201cI think \u2018Mama\u2019 is why Noel called me the antichrist. But I\u2019m giving him the benefit of the doubt here, and assuming he doesn\u2019t really think I\u2019m the antichrist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noel is yet to respond publicly to Collins\u2019 comments.<\/p>\n

This year sees a total of six British acts being inducted, breaking the previous record of five British names entering the Rock Hall in a single year. In 2019, Radiohead, The Cure, Def Leppard, Roxy Music and The Zombies were all honoured<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Phil Collins was previously inducted as a member of Genesis<\/a> in 2010. This year was the first time he was on the ballot as a solo artist. The two other first-time nominees in 2026 were Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan.<\/p>\n

Oasis were nominated for the third consecutive year in 2026, following\u00a0nods in 2024<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a02025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Upon being nominated this year, frontman Liam Gallagher<\/a> wrote: \u201cI wanna thank all the people who voted for us it\u2019s a real honour ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I\u2019d dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame it\u2019s true what they say anything is possible if you have a dream LG x.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had previously\u00a0reacted to their 2024 nomination by writing<\/a>: \u201cFuck the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS\u201d. He also discouraged fans from voting for them, calling it \u201ca load of bollox\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Gallagher reiterated his sentiments last year<\/a>, saying the Rock Hall was \u201cfor WANKERS\u201d. However, he replied to one fan asking what would happen if they got in by saying: \u201cObv go and say it\u2019s the best thing EVER.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phil Collins has opened up about potentially meeting Oasis at the upcoming\u00a0Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":693009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,3584,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-693008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-rock","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=693008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693008\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/693009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=693008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=693008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=693008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
