Liam Gallagher Calls Oasis Hall of Fame Induction a Real Honor Amid Past Feuds
Liam Gallagher Calls Oasis Hall of Fame Induction a Real Honor Amid Past Feuds
Liam Gallagher shifts from skepticism to praise for Oasis' Rock Hall induction, reflecting on childhood dreams and playful digs at old stances.
Liam Gallagher has, after years of voicing disdain for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, publicly welcomed Oasis’ induction as a real honor as the class of 2026 was announced. The nod puts the band on a roster that includes Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan, signaling a celebration of rock’s enduring legacy.
In a series of early-morning posts, Gallagher offered a mix of playful ambiguity and gratitude. "Reverse psychology vibes in the area Oasis RnR hall of farmers I mean famers," he wrote, before adding, "I wanna thank all the people who voted for us it’s a real honour ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I’d dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame it’s true what they say anything is possible if you have a dream."
When fans pressed him about his earlier stance, he replied that his mother advised him to stop being a dick and go to the awards, and that maybe he might enjoy the experience. "Well I was speaking to my mummy last night when the news broke and she thinks I may have been a little hasty with my perception of the organization she’s told me to stop being a dick and go to the awards and behave and you never know you might enjoy it."
His 2024 stance remains part of the lore: in an interview with The Sunday Times he said, "As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: Do me a favor and fuck off. It’s like putting me in the rap hall of fame, and I don’t want to be part of anything that mentally disturbed. Besides, I’ve done more for rock & roll than half of them clowns on that board, so it’s all a load of bollocks." Whether sarcasm or not, the latest posts show a lighter, more celebratory take on the Hall’s 2026 class.
Fans and critics will no doubt debate the shift in tone as the Hall of Fame spotlight falls on Oasis this year.
