Noel Gallagher has dropped a huge clue about the future of Oasis. The legendary Britpop band fronted by Noel and his younger brother, Liam Gallagher, sent the world into a frenzy when they finally returned to the stage in July, 16 years after the once-warring brothers fell out.

Performing across the globe in cities such as Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, New York, Los Angeles and ending their tour in São Paulo, Brazil, last month, millions of fans were treated to the concert they never thought they would see.

However, as the euphoric tour drew to a close, speculation had arisen that the band might continue and possibly secure dates at either their beloved Manchester City stadium, the Etihad, or Knebworth. Now, guitarist Gem Archer has given a fresh insight into the future of Oasis and Noel’s very cryptic comment.

Gem admits that the past few months have been a “blur” for the group, but they will take some time next year to sit and properly go over the buzz they experienced. “Anything could happen, which could include nothing,” he said of the future of the band. Speaking to NME, Gem continued: “But this was quite a thing… if stuff was happening, I think I might already know about it, if you know what I mean? It’s not something you just flick on.”

But, he went on to reveal that Noel gave a cryptic insight, explaining: “Noel has said, ‘No rest for the immensely talented,’ so take that how you want.” Meanwhile, Liam recently stated that there would be no new dates for Oasis next year.

However, he did imply that there could be news for 2027 after the band takes a well-deserved break. When denying that they will play Knebworth, Liam said: “I don’t [have] snizzle to do until 2027 I mean happy Christmas.”

He had previously hinted that the band had been planning on adding extra dates in the future. When a fan asked whether he was “sad that the tour is ending soon,” the Mancunian icon replied: “I’m not actually as I know things you don’t.”

Before teasing news on social media, Liam also hinted that the band had a future while performing at London’s Wembley Stadium in September. He told fans: “See you next year,” before he jokingly slapped himself on the wrist for revealing the news.

Just last month, the band informed fans that following the success of the tour, there would be a “pause for a period of reflection”. In a statement shared online, the group said: “And so it came to pass. The most damaging pop cultural force in recent British history found its way into the hearts and minds of a new generation. From Gallagher Hill to the River Plate, from Croke Park on the banks of the Royal Canal to the City Of Angels, the love, joy, tears and euphoria will never be forgotten.

“There will now be a pause for a period of reflection.” However, sources close to the band have said that the Oasis Live ’25 tour would be the only chance to see the band perform.

It’s estimated that the tour generated around £1 billion for the UK economy alone, and was projected to earn the group around £400 million from ticket sales and merchandise alone, according to Dr Charles Nimoh, macroeconomic expert at the University of Salford.

Amy Winehouse’s friends have claimed that the late singer would have been ok with them selling personal items relating to the late musician, the High Court has heard

Amy Winehouse “would have been happy” with her pals selling personal items. The High Court heard that the late singer would “not have wanted” Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay to “struggle financially”.

Naomi and Catriona, two of Amy’s closest friends, are facing legal action from the singer’s dad, Mitch, who is acting as administrator of the Back to Black singer’s estate. Lawyers for Mitch, a former cab driver, previously told a trial in London that Naomi and Catriona profited from selling dozens of the singer’s items at auctions in the US in 2021 and 2023, which he was not informed about and that they did not have the right to sell.

The women are defending the claim and their barristers say the items were either gifts from Ms Winehouse or were already owned by them. Today, Catriona gave evidence at the High Court in London.

In her written witness statement, Ms Gourlay said that Mr Winehouse was giving out his daughter’s clothes to fans outside her flat in Camden, north London, in the days after her funeral. She claimed he was quoted in the press as saying “it was what she would have wanted”.

She said: “On that day, Naomi and I were shocked at how many of Amy’s possessions were being taken by family members. Mitch asked me if I wanted to have anything, but I refused as I told him that I already had plenty of things Amy had given me.

“Mitch is therefore aware that Amy had gifted me many items.” Amy, who tragically died aged 27 from alcohol poisoning in 2011, became a star across the globe following the release of her second album, Back To Black, in 2006.

Before her death, Amy would frequently swap clothes with Catriona, she said in her witness statement. The court previously heard that the 2021 auction catalogue contained 834 items and that the sale raised 1.4 million dollars (£1.05m) for Ms Winehouse’s estate, 30 per cent of which went to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.

One item sold by Ms Parry included a silk mini-dress worn by Ms Winehouse in her final performance in Belgrade, Serbia, which was auctioned for 243,200 dollars (£182,656).

Henry Legge KC, for Mr Winehouse, previously told the court that the singer’s father believed the women had “deliberately concealed” the fact that they were auctioning items.

He said Mr Winehouse believed that all the 834 items in the 2021 auction catalogue were owned by the estate but that the two women were “asserting ownership of over 150”.

The barrister also said that Ms Parry was “instrumental in persuading Mr Winehouse to auction the estate’s items”, but did not tell him that she “stood to gain from his agreeing to do so”.

Giving evidence on Monday, Mr Winehouse said: “I assume that, being so close, Amy would have given them some things, but 150 items, I just cannot believe it.”

Mr Winehouse also denied a suggestion by Ms Parry’s barrister, Beth Grossman, that he was bringing proceedings against the pair out of “petty jealousy”.

The trial before Sarah Clarke KC, sitting as a deputy High Court judge, is due to continue on January 27.

The Elysia Gold Dress is said to be crafted from decadent gold bouclé-tweed fabrication and is cut in the brand’s signature MERABI tulip silhouette, creating a structured, feminine shape. Boasting a high neckline and cap sleeves that bring refined modesty to the look, this dress is decorated with statement 3D pearl buttons and non-functional front pockets to add sculptural detail.

If you were hoping for pockets, don’t worry – this number comes equipped with discreet side pockets that offer functionality without compromising the flattering form of the piece. Plus, Amanda noted that this piece doesn’t feel scratchy on the inside, from the boucle-tweed matieral, as it comes fully lined in champagne satin and is finished with a concealed back zip for a smooth fit.

Normally available in sizes XS to 3XL, Amanda’s golden bauble dress is currently out of stock in size M, meaning you’ll need to act fast to secure yours before other sizes sell out too. Amanda’s dress retails for £375.
