Oasis have reunited for a series of massive gigs and the band’s photographer Kevin Cummins reckons the end of the tour is not the end for the iconic band
A fresh Oasis album is definitely maybe on the horizon following Noel and Liam Gallagher’s blockbuster reunion shows. The band’s photographer Kevin Cummins has disclosed that Noel has been penning tracks whilst on tour and Liam has dialled back his “frontman ego”.
He said: “I don’t see why they couldn’t get in the studio and record a new album. Noel is writing songs all the time, and Liam’s voice is well suited to what Noel writes. Liam’s voice is better than it was. It’s got more maturity, more depth to it. Noel is a great guitarist, and sometimes he’s just looking at Liam thinking ‘He’s fantastic’.
“He kind of forgets that he’s on stage with him. Liam’s matured a lot. He’s quite self-deprecating. There’s a lot of fondness on stage between them,” he added.

He also revealed there had been no sign of the “resentment” between the siblings on tour that led to a backstage row in Paris in 2009.
And he believes the conclusion of the tour in November was “not the end” for the group. The 72-year-old added: “Next year there’s a documentary about them getting back together. So while that’s showing and people have still got the bug of Oasis in them they could be in the studio.”
Should his forecasts prove accurate, it would mark the first Oasis studio album for 17 years. The snapper is championing his book Oasis: The Masterplan, showcasing his photographs of the band he has captured since the early 90s.
It comes as the Gallagher brothers are set for another reunion after their epic tour – at the comeback fight of boxing hero Ricky Hatton.
The ‘Hitman’ takes to the ring again against ‘Arabian Warrior’ Eisa Al Dah, 46, in December, 13 years after his last professional bout. Noel and Liam Gallagher are being lined up for a repeat of their appearance at Hatton’s 2008 fight in Las Vegas.
The duo famously carried his world title belts into the ring before Hatton defeated Italian-American Paulie Malignaggi. The former light welterweight and welterweight world champion could yet have the rock duo by his side again.
“They are friends and he still sees Noel at Man City games,” said a source. “They would like to go and Oasis will have finished their tour by then. So it all depends on whether they do any more gigs.” The last date of the Oasis ’25 world tour is November 23 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The brothers accompanied their hero into the ring in Vegas 17 years ago. Hatton recalled: “You could see they were both a bit nervous, obviously they had never walked a fighter out before. They asked, ‘What do I do, Rick, what do we do?’. I said, ‘Get in the ring and hold it up and put it in Malignaggi’s face’.
“So Noel got in, I got in, then Liam. Liam then came straight past me, right past Noel, and went straight to Malignaggi and said something like: ‘What do you think about that d***head?’, shoving the belt in his face.
“I thought, ‘That’s not quite what I meant, Liam’.” Hatton’s comeback bout will be held over eight three-minute rounds.
