  • Liam Gallagher and The Who's Roger Daltrey Forming Supergroup?

    Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher and The Who's Roger Daltrey are apparently forming a supergroup for a television performance this week, according to reports from British publications. TFI Friday, an entertainment show broadcast in the UK during the late '90s, is coming back for a one-off reunion episode and has booked a number of big musical guests, not the least of which is the unnamed collaboration of the vocalists for two of the biggest bands in British history.

There's plenty of fans to provide funding for a limited number of events but it's still tough to draw (and pay) huge acts for traveling so far for what's most likely to be just on appearance (versus a longer tour scenario, where headliners such as Katy Perry can make oodles of cash).

In an interview with "The Guardian" packed full of dream-worthy quotes for any journalist, Maxim, Liam Howlett and Keith Flint do not hold anything back dishing on the state of dance music, which has changed dramatically since they last released an album, and how they want their legacy to be viewed by music historians next to other British acts like Oasis and Blur.
