Alan McGee believes Liam Gallagher is almost as big as Oasis.
The legendary Creation Records boss and former Oasis manager discussed the Gallagher brothers. He suggested Liam could now headline Knebworth alone.
When asked if Liam could perform a massive gig at Knebworth, where Oasis played in August 1996, McGee said:
“Liam can do it. It’s only 125,000 people. I would say he’s almost as big as Oasis. He’s massive at this point.”
Speaking on Phil Taggart’s Slacker Podcast, he added: “The first day I met him, he thought he was great. He is a great singer. He’s one of the best I’ve ever worked with.”
The music mogul also revealed he regularly speaks to Noel Gallagher but hasn’t seen Liam in years.
“I’m pretty tight with Noel, I talk to him a lot,” he said.
“I sent him a link to a Johnny Rotten film the other night, I get along with him. I haven’t seen Liam for years.”
“Liam recently threatened to batter me. I don’t really know why. I didn’t speak to him.”
“Then, a day later, he said he loved me. So, f*** knows what happened there.”
Oasis split in 2009. Fans have wanted a reunion ever since. Liam often urges his brother to bring the band back.
When asked if they might reunite, McGee said: “They’re brothers. You never know. Maybe one day they’ll make up. I hope they do.”
The Scottish music manager and producer has some hope. However, Liam’s feelings seem to change as often as his thoughts about McGee.
On New Year’s Day, the Wall of Glass singer reached out to Noel on Twitter, writing: “HNY Noel love you long time. 2021 is our year c’mon you know. LG x.”
Not long after, a fan asked how often he thinks about a reunion. The All You’re Dreaming Of singer replied: “Rarely.”
