On Wednesday (February 12), outspoken Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher shared his thoughts about his band receiving a nomination for the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. Gallagher commented on Oasis’ honor on X, where the 52-year-old singer wrote dismissively, “RNR hall of fame is for WANKERS.” The Britpop legends are nominated alongside Bad Company, the Black Crowes, Mariah Carey, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol, Joy Division/New Order, Cyndi Lauper, Maná, OutKast, Phish, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes, with eight of those artists being first-time nominees. In August of 2024, Oasis announced that they are reuniting for their first tour since 2009, which is scheduled to begin this summer with a series of stadium dates across the U.K. and Ireland, followed by shows in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico later in the year.
