With or without brother Noel, Liam Gallagher will go on a massive stadium tour to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Oasis's debut album. For their summer tour, the rock star and guitarist Bonehead (real name Paul Arthurs) will reunite and perform all of the songs from their 1994 album Definitely Maybe along with other hits.

Liam has committed to the tour, according to a close insider, and although Noel may still join, it is "still a long way off as there are a lot of personal issues that need to be resolved." After the brothers got into a fight in 2009, the Britpop group disbanded, but Liam, 51, has stated recently that he wants Noel, 56, to call him so they may get back together.

Yet, Liam, who might make $10 million from the performances, recently made the following joke to friends: "Who needs Noel?" "Liam is convinced he can recreate the magic of the first Oasis album, whether or not Noel is with him on stage," a source close to the Gallaghers stated. When he performs Rock 'n' Roll Star with his new band, the audience erupts.

The anniversary concerts might take place in Newcastle's St. James' Park, Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, and Wembley Stadium. Sources claim that after selling out two nights at Knebworth last summer, Liam, 51, started to believe he could go on his own tour.

Regarded as the primary rock star of Oasis, Liam Gallagher has consistently received praise. Liam was the one who introduced the band to the general public, with his distinctive raspy voice combining the catchiness of John Lennon with the distinctive snarl of John Lydon. His brother Noel was content to stay in the background and write all of their hit songs.

Even though Liam was accustomed to singing whatever Noel threw at him, he wasn't first taken by one of the band's hit songs. As the main songwriter for the Beatles in its early years, Noel wasn't quite set in stone. The band had created a few songs without Noel, but when he began writing songs like "Slide Away" and "Cigarettes and Alcohol," it was obvious that Liam's brother had some magic behind him.

"Definitely Maybe" hitmakers, who had hyped themselves up as one of the largest rock bands in the world, caught the nation by storm and declared Oasis to be among the biggest independent bands ever. Noel decided it would be preferable to head back into the studio and crank out another batch of songs rather than taking some time to consider what their best plan of action would be.

Even though the majority of critics were skeptical of Oasis's ascent to prominence, they would later prove all of their doubters incorrect with What's the Story Morning Glory. The album's tracks, which shot to the top of the charts, featured a variety of grandiose rock moments, such as the catchy chorus of "Don't Look Back In Anger" and the intense psychedelic haze that covers the eight-minute epic "Champagne Supernova."
