Noel Gallagher’s close friend, Bono, revealed that his rock star pal is “shocked” at how good Oasis sound in rehearsals.
In an interview for Apple Music 1 with Zane Lowe, Bono discussed the upcoming Oasis Live ’25 tour which will mark the band’s first live performance after 16 long years.
Noel, who left the group after a bitter argument with his brother and band mate, Liam Gallagher back in 2009, is currently pleased with the ongoing rehearsals before they are set to take the stage for their reunion.
“I’m still very close with Noel,” the U2 front man told Zane, adding, “And he got a message to me, and he says that he’s kind of shocked by how great the band is. So I think we’re going to have a good summer.”
Bono also revealed that he himself is a huge fan of Oasis and would be attending the Oasis Live ’25 Tour, which kicks off in Cardiff, Wales, on 4 July.
Praising both the Gallagher brothers for their “swagger” he recounted the rock duo’s first impression back when they shot to stardom by the grace of their 1994 debut album, Definitely Maybe.
“I love them. I just love them. And what I really love is this, the sort of preciousness that had gotten a part of what was called indie music. They just blew it out. And there was just a swagger. The sound of getting out of the ghetto, not glamorizing it. And they’re both funny, funny, funny,” Bono further mentioned during his interview.
