Redacción Oasis returned to the stage and revealed who made the reconciliation possible
The Gallagher brothers made peace after 16 years. Bonehead's key role and the tour that will bring them to Argentina
After more than 16 years apart, media feuds, and closed doors,the Gallagher brothers reunited on stage.Oasis sealed its historic comeback last Friday in Cardiff, Wales, with a colossal show in front of more than 70,000 people. This is how Oasis Live 25 began, the anniversary tour that celebrates its most iconic albums and that, in November, will arrive with two dates at the Monumental stadium.
The concert lasted two hours and was an emotional avalanche from the first chord. Liam and Noel entered the Principality Stadium arm in arm, with a calm demeanor that contrasted with the audience's euphoria. On the screens, a message that said it all: "The long wait is over". Then, the collective shout: "It's good to be back", the opening line of Hello, marked the start of a setlist focused on Definitely Maybe (1994) and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995), essential albums of Britpop.
Who achieved the impossible: Bonehead, the silent mediator
During the second show of the tour, Noel surprised the audience by revealing who had truly been the architect of the reconciliation with his brother: Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs,Oasis's original guitarist and a key member on the band's first three albums.
"If it weren't for him, none of this would be happening," Noel said when introducing him on stage. Bonehead had left Oasis in 1999, but his closeness to Liam over the past decade—collaborating on his solo career—kept him as a bridge between the brothers.
British media had already confirmed in March that Bonehead would be part of the tour along with other longtime members such as Gem Archer, Andy Bell, and drummer Joey Waronker, but only now is the real significance of his role in making the most anticipated reunion in British rock known.
Oasis in Argentina
The comeback is real and also local: Oasis will perform in Argentina on November 15 and 16 at the Monumental stadium, in what promises to be one of the most iconic visits in its history.
After 16 years of silence, feuds, and rumors, Oasis is back. It wasn't because of Noel or Liam: it was thanks to the lifelong friend, Bonehead, the guitarist who quietly orchestrated the most epic reunion in Britpop.
