Our long international nightmare is over.
The Gallagher Brothers have reportedly ended their years-long feud, according to the London Evening Standard, and plan to open an indie rock-themed, artisan-food-serving bar named Champagne Supernova. I guess that’s just as good as an Oasis reunion.
The bar name derives from one of their biggest hits, off 1995 sophomore record (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?. Missed opportunity: Drinking gin n’ tonic at a bar called Supersonic.
The UK paper says Liam and Noel came together at a recent family wedding in Ireland and buried the hatchet, and mum Peggy is involved with the Champagne Supernova plans. Meanwhile, original guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs took things a step further, saying an Oasis reunion is inevitable. “If someone said, ‘Here’s a field, here’s a stage and here’s 200,000 people,’ I’m sure Liam would jump up and do it, and I don’t think it would even take anyone offering him a massive bankroll of money,” Bonehead says. “He’d do it because that’s what he loves, that’s his passion.”
Of course no one is going on record saying Noel would do it. We’ll just have to settle for the bar, which will be in their hometown of Manchester, England.
According to the London Evening Standard:
A source told the Daily Star: “Liam initially came up with the idea after a recent trip to Manchester with his mum Peggy.
“Then between them they thought Noel should also be brought on board.
“The brothers are thinking about an indie rock-themed place which serves artisan food.”
The pair plan to call their bar Champagne Supernova after the Oasis anthem – which was included on the band’s seminal album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? – of the same name and hope to finalise their deal at an underground venue close to the Deansgate and Spinningfields area of Manchester.
The insider added: “The brothers are consulting their famous friends such as Russell Brand and Holly Willoughby for advice on the venue.
“They reckon a hot new bar could bring them together again.”
We sure hope so.
