Liam Gallagher has stated that the ongoing Oasis reunion tour has significantly changed his life for the better. The 53-year-old musician revealed that he has quit smoking and drinking alcohol to protect his voice during the Oasis Live ’25 Tour. Gallagher expressed his gratitude for this decision, recognizing the profound impact that the performances have on fans of the iconic band.
When a fan on X (formerly Twitter) inquired whether he missed alcohol and cigarettes, Gallagher responded, “Oasis saved my life. It’s about time I sorted my nappa out. I know how much this means to people, so stopping and snorting Gary baldies are sacrifices that needed to be made.” He concluded his message with a nod to his favourite football team, stating, “thems the rules MCFC.”
Gallagher’s commitment to his health is evident as he prepares to perform alongside his brother, Noel Gallagher, for the first time in 16 years, following a public feud. The reunion has not only rekindled family ties but has also drawn praise from fellow musicians. Richard Ashcroft, who opened for Oasis during their UK concerts, commended Gallagher’s discipline during the shows.
In an interview with The Independent, Ashcroft remarked, “Liam’s discipline is amazing. I don’t think he’s allowing himself to be in any situations where he can go off track or whatnot.” He also noted that both brothers appear to be in a positive space, suggesting a newfound harmony within the band.
Gallagher’s dedication to his vocal health has gone so far as to influence his social plans. He reportedly skipped Noel’s end-of-tour party at London’s Chiltern Firehouse following the band’s concert at Wembley Stadium in September 2023. According to a source cited by the Daily Mirror, “Liam and Noel had both been planning to throw a party for the final night of the UK tour, but Liam’s decided to have a low-key celebration with Debbie instead.” The source added that Gallagher aimed for an early night to avoid any potential damage to his voice.
The Oasis Live ’25 Tour signifies more than just a series of concerts for Gallagher. It embodies a personal transformation and a reconnection with his musical roots, demonstrating the profound influence that art and community can have on an individual’s life. As fans eagerly await further performances, Gallagher’s journey serves as a reminder of the sacrifices artists sometimes make for their craft and their audience.
