Gem Archer should join the tour of Oasis in 2025. Source revealed to The Mirror (via NME) that the guitarist “must sign an agreement” to return to the band.

“Nobody in the band is 100% confirmed yet, but Gem it is quite possible, next to Bonehead“, the insider added. “The trick is finding people that both brothers get along with, respect and, ideally, have also been in the band before.”

“Gem meets all these requirements and also contributed writing some of the songs on Oasis. He’s an obvious target and it would be a huge shock if he wasn’t on stage for the UK tour. He knows the songs, he knows the band and he’s been on tour with them before. Gallagher“, the source said.

Archer joined the Oasis in 1999, replacing Bonehead. He played with the group until 2009, was in Beady Eye and joined the Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in 2017.

Alan Whitewho played with the Oasis between 1995 and 2004, could embark on the group’s reunion. He posted on Instagram a photo of a drum kit stylized with the Union Jack. Therefore, fans speculate that the post means that White will be the drummer for the British group next year.

“The best drummer in the OasisI hope you come back, ace,” wrote one fan in the comments of the photo. “This better be a sign that you will play with the Oasis again,” said another.

A third said: “Please tell me you got the call.” Tony McCarrollwho was in the formation of the Oasis from 1991 to 1995, he already assured that he was not contacted.

“I’m happy for Noel and Liam. Really happy for them… And I’m dying of happiness for the fans, more than anything, and for those generations who didn’t see the Oasis“, he confessed in an interview with MailOnline (via NME). “They haven’t reached out yet, and to be honest, I’m not expecting that.”

The co-founder of Oasis known as Bonehead is also expected to join the tour, a source told The Sun. Alongside the Gallagher, Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan and Tony McCarrollhe stayed in the band until 1999, when he decided to dedicate more time to his family. He was replaced by Gem Archer.

“Bonehead is confirmed,” the source said. “They both [Liam e Noel] They wanted him in the formation and he was one of the people who encouraged the meeting. Noel also brought some members of his band.”

THE Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds account with Archer, Mike Rowe, Jessica Greenfield, Chris Sharrock and Russell Pritchard.

The family Oasis really came together again. Bonehead is very happy.

Bonehead appears in the video published by the band to announce the return of Oasis. He also left a comment on the post with heart emojis.
