Matty Healy has urged Oasis to “stop messing around” and get back together in a new interview.
In a video that’s already amassing tens of thousands of views online, the frontman of Manchester-based indie pop rock band, The 1975, has made his thoughts on the feuding Gallagher brothers known during an in-depth interview with on Q with Tom Power from Canadian broadcaster CBC this week.
During the interview, the 33-year-old singer touched on everything from the process of making the band’s latest record, 2022’s critically-acclaimed Being Funny in a Foreign Language, to his onstage antics, and why he’s decided to embrace sincerity and being earnest – but that doesn’t seem to be the main takeaway of Manchester music fans.
It’s his opinion of the iconic Britpop band Oasis that’s really got people talking.
In what he called a “public service announcement”, Healy claimed Oasis are still “the coolest band in the world” but questioned what the Gallagher brothers are playing at by continuing to fight with each other after all these years.

Telling them to “grow up”, Healy urged Liam and Noel to “get back together and stop messing around”.
Healy told the interviewer: “What are Oasis doing? Can you imagine being in potentially, right now, still the coolest band in the world, and not doing it because you’re in a mard with your brother? I can deal with them dressing like they’re in their twenties but being in their fifties, but acting like they’re in their twenties?

Healy continued: “Stop marding. They’re men of the people, and they’re sat around in, like, Little Venice and Highgate crying over an argument with their brother.
“Grow up. Headline Glastonbury. Have a good time. Have a laugh.”

The Wilmslow lad also took a second to speak on the popularity of both the Gallagher brothers’ post-Oasis solo projects and endeavours, and claimed fans aren’t as interested in seeing Liam Gallagher or Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds live as they would be going to an Oasis gig.
“There is not one person going to a High Flying Birds gig or a Liam Gallagher gig that would not rather be at an Oasis gig,” Healy claimed.
“There is not one person.
“Not one person is there going, ‘you know what? I loved Definitely Maybe, but my favourite thing is f***ing Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’.”
“Do me a favour – get back together, stop messing around. That’s my public service announcement for today,” he concluded.

Harry Styles has FINALLY come out of hibernation, with fourth album announced
Daisy Jackson
Harry Styles has FINALLY announced details of his long-awaited (like seriously, LONG-AWAITED) fourth studio album.
The pop megastar has confirmed that his next record will be called ‘Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.’
Fans have been begging for HS4 for years, after Harry Styles set the world alight with his Love On Tour tour way back in 2022, which included two nights at the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester.
It’s become something of a running joke among his fans – nicknamed ‘Harries’ – that he’s disappeared from the industry so thoroughly, instead taking on side quests including marathons, shaving his head, and watching the new Pope be announced.
Excitement over the Cheshire-born musician’s comeback has been ramping up this week after mysterious ‘We Belong Together’ posters began appearing in cities across the globe.
And now, the Grammy Award-winning star is officially back.
Details on the new album are so far sparse, but there are a few things we can tell you.
Harry Styles will release his fourth album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally in March
One – it’ll be called Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.
Two – it will have 12 tracks.
Three – it’s been executive produced by Kid Harpoon, a Grammy-award winner and long-time collaborator of Harry’s, who also worked on his last album, Harry’s House.
Four – it’s set for release on 6 March 2026, and you can pre-order it HERE.
The next question will be those hotly-anticipated tour dates, with rumours swirling of residencies at Madison Square Gardens and Wembley Stadium.
Pre-ordering the album may get you in with a shot at accessing pre-sale tickets if and when he does tour.
And if Harry Styles skips Manchester on his stadium tour… *shakes fist*
As heading up North wasn’t already exciting enough, the nominations are looking well and truly stacked as always; without further ado, here is the shortlist in full:
