The Gallagher brothers have been cautioned to keep their opinions on Donald Trump private to prevent any problems in the US leg of their Oasis reunion tour. This comes after Liam previously branded the notoriously sensitive US President a "d***", while Noel has described his environmental policies as "pretty f***ing scary". Now, they're being advised to hold their tongues or face potential disruptions to their American concerts.
Top entertainment manager Jonathan Shalit remarked: "My advice to Oasis is simple: stay out of American politics. If they want their US tour to go ahead without disruption, it would be wise to keep quiet on all things Trump." This guidance follows an incident where a French scientist was barred from entering the US due to anti-Trump comments found on his phone. Immigration officials at an airport reportedly uncovered texts in where he had expressed criticism of Trump's administration back in March.
Back in 2018, amidst the ongoing feud between the Oasis siblings, Liam even alleged that Noel was "worse than Donald Trump".
Answering a query about who he considered the world's biggest villain, the Wonderwall star remarked: "Gotta be Noel. And he's worse than Donald Trump. He's the biggest liar and biggest faker in the business, so yeah, him."
The band, fresh from their performance in Edinburgh, Scotland, over the weekend, will kick off their first US gig in Chicago on August 28, followed by shows in New Jersey and California.
Meanwhile, a top tribute artist has claimed that the Gallaghers' cherished mother Peggy will "definitely" be in attendance at the Oasis gigs in Dublin, adding an extra layer of sentiment to the occasion.
Gavin Fleming, who impersonates Liam in the Dublin-based tribute band Live Forever, mentioned she'll be present "looking out and seeing her two sons back talking together".
He revealed: "I can confirm she's going to be at both [shows]. We have a little source there. She's going to be at the Dublin shows, looking out and seeing her two sons back talking together. It was a real family feud, so it's great to see. They're brothers again, most importantly."
The iconic siblings, whose lineage traces back to Ireland, are set to perform at Dublin's Croke Park next weekend.
Peggy had previously expressed her desire to attend but was recuperating from hip surgery. She also disclosed that she played a pivotal role as the "instigator" in mending their notorious discord and triggering the reunion.
