Oasis 'won't reform unless skint'

Oasis will only reform if they become "skint".

Former frontman Liam Gallagher insists the group - who split up last August after tensions between the singer and his guitarist brother Noel Gallagher became unbearable - are unlikely to ever get back together.

He said: "The only reason why Oasis will come back is when we're f***ing skint. I'm far from skint as you can tell - and I won't be skint for a long, long f***ing time. Believe me, it ain't gonna be happening."

The rocker - who has formed new band Beady Eye with former Oasis bandmates Gem Archer, Chris Sharrock and Andy Bell - went on to claim his new project's debut album would be "the best record you'll hear for the next 50 years."

He told Sky News: "We have this tune and it was a bit Rolling Stones-y, and I didn't like it. It was slow and boring. So we just got on a piano and f**k it up, Jerry Lee Lewis style, and stuck a John Lennon vocal on the top. It's good."
