Oasis to be inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame without Gallagher brothers

Oasis will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this weekend without Liam or Noel Gallagher, after Liam said travelling to Los Angeles for one night was “too far”.

“I’ve got other things on my mind,” he wrote on X on Tuesday. The band’s absence had been reported by Rolling Stone on Monday, according to Dutch news site Nieuws.nl.

The Gallaghers have previously shown little interest in the honour. Liam called it a “lousy award” two years ago and told fans not to vote for Oasis. In April, after the band’s induction was announced, he thanked the Hall and called it “a real honour” — though Nieuws.nl noted that it was unclear whether he was being sincere or sarcastic.

Oasis are among nine acts due to be inducted on Saturday. The others are Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Sade, Wu-Tang Clan, Luther Vandross, Joy Division and New Order. Other prominent musicians, including Paul McCartney, Van Morrison and David Bowie, have also skipped Hall of Fame inductions, Nieuws.nl reported.
