Robbie Williams has reportedly reignited his long-standing feud with Noel Gallagher following the announcement of two additional Oasis reunion gigs amid the Ticketmaster booking chaos.
The tension between the Angels singer, 50, and the Oasis star, 57, dates back to the 2000 BRIT Awards, when Noel famously referred to him as “that fat dancer from Take That.”
Originally friends in the mid-90s, Williams’ relationship with the Gallagher brothers soured, and his latest comments come just days after Oasis revealed their highly anticipated UK tour.
According to the Mirror, the Take That icon shared on an uncredited podcast: “As for the shows? They’re gonna be incredible, off-the-scale special. Oasis getting back together is going to be a healing moment for our country.
“Liam Gallagher reading his phone on the toilet would be more charismatic and intriguing than 99.9% of the world’s population at their most enigmatic.
”All he has to do is stand there and sing for the audience to be guaranteed their money’s worth.
The Rudebox singer then, added: “Noel will be there too.”
Robbie previously opened up about their long-standing feud on the Talent Takes Practice podcast in 2021, describing the experience as “unbearable.”
He explained: “Every time I turned on the TV, there were people being hateful about me. It was wrong and grotesque. I just had to leave the country.”
Reflecting on the harsh words from the Gallagher brothers, he said: “I remember every single syllable of what they’ve said. Liam said I should be hung, and Noel called me ‘the fat dancer from Take That.’
The tension between Williams and the Gallaghers hasn’t eased over the years, with Liam also labeling the singer a “fat f*****g idiot” back in 2013.
The comments come as Oasis announced they have extended their Live ’25 tour to include two more London shows on September 27 and 28, using a new “staggered invitation-only ballot process” with applications to join the ballot opened first to those who were unsuccessful in the initial sale.
The ballot will run using the same system as the pre-order ballot on Friday which featured transparent ticketing prices on Ticketmaster, the PA news agency understands.
It comes days after many fans were shocked by standard tickets for the reunion tour more than doubling from £148 to £355 on Ticketmaster, prompting the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog to pledge they will look into the use of dynamic pricing.
Meanwhile, others were left angry and disappointed after being left empty-handed, having waited in an online queue for hours to buy tickets.
It is hoped the new ticket sale strategy will make “the process far smoother for fans by reducing the stress and time it takes” to obtain tickets.
A statement said: “It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used.
“While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations.
“All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.”
Oasis made a separate statement on their Instagram story, telling fans that the extra shows in the capital had been added because of “phenomenal demand”.
