Gene Gallagher: The Secret Weapon Behind Oasis' Reunion

Exciting news for music fans! Liam Gallagher's son, Gene Gallagher, is rumored to join his legendary father and uncle, Noel Gallagher, on stage for the highly anticipated Oasis tour. He could be among the ten warm-up acts for the iconic band, marking a significant milestone in his musical journey.

Sources close to the Gallagher family share that the 23-year-old has confided in friends about his indie rock band, Villanelle, stepping in as a supporting act for Oasis. According to The Mirror, a source revealed: “Gene is supporting Oasis. He's been telling a few people and he's really excited. He loves playing with his dad and knows it will be huge for his music career.” It sounds like Gene is ready to carve out his own path in the music industry with a legendary backdrop!

Villanelle is gearing up to release their debut single through an independent label this November, and they have recently announced an eight-date UK tour. There's even a special homecoming show set for Manchester at Night & Day on November 22, where fans can witness Gene shine.

Interestingly, Gene's role in the reunion tour extends beyond just performance. He reportedly played a vital part in bringing his famous father and uncle together after years of estrangement. Collaborating with Noel's daughter, Anais, 24, the two worked behind the scenes to help their dads reunite for the first time in 15 years. A source shared, "It hadn’t dawned on Noel and Liam until recently that their own kids had never properly seen them together. They didn’t want to wait until it was too late to show them why they are Britain’s biggest band.” Heartwarming, isn’t it?
