Richard Ashcroft announced as special guest for Oasis reunion tour
Richard Ashcroft has been confirmed as the special guest for the UK and Ireland leg of the forthcoming Oasis reunion tour.
One of Oasis’s first national tours was as support to The Verve back in 1993, often playing to just a few hundred people several months before their debut single, "Supersonic" was released. They were due to be reunited the following year in Amsterdam but a drunken incident on a ferry resulted in most of the band being sent back to the UK, except for Noel Gallagher who went on to play a solo set instead. The Gallagher brothers famously recounted the tale on the ‘Wibbling Rivalry’ 7” single.
“As a fan from day one I was buzzing for many reasons when the news of Oasis’s return was announced. I can say with no exaggeration that the songwriting talent of Noel and Liam’s pure spirit as a lead singer helped to inspire me to create some of my best work. It was the perfection of ‘Live Forever’ that forced me to try and write my own," Richard Ashcroft says. "They dared to be great, made the dreams we had real and I will always remember those days with joy. Now it’s time to create more memories and I’m ready to bring it. See you next summer. Music is power."
