Oasis have begun rehearsals for their long-awaited reunion tour, and frontman Liam Gallagher seems rather excited about it all.

Gallagher announced the fact that the whole band - himself and his brother Noel, guitarists Gem Archer and Bonehead, bassist Andy Bell and new drummer Joey Waronker - were back playing in a room together in a post on the platform everyone still calls Twitter.

"We have LIFT OFF Rastas," Gallagher posted, in his own inimitable fashion. "sounded fucking FILTHY I'll tell thee that there for hardly anything"

When a follower named Mel asked "Were you nervous?" Gallagher replied, "Don't be ridiculous".

Another Oasis fan asked Gallagher, "How was it rehearsing as Oasis again, the singer responded with a single word: "SPIRITUAL". He also used the word "BIBLICAL" in reply to another fan.

Asked if the reunion with his old friends and his brother was emotional, he answered, "No time to get emotional we have a lot of catching up to do".

A few days earlier Gallagher noted, not incorrectly, "Oasis rehearsals get more coverage than most bands tours shit cunts".

Speaking in April about his brother's mounting excitement for the massive stadium tour, Noel Gallagher stated, "He can’t wait... none of us can wait."


Oasis' Live 25 tour is set to launch on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
