The highly anticipated Oasis reunion tour is set to kick off in Cardiff this July, following the reconciliation of Noel and Liam Gallagher.

The reunion will feature a lineup that includes the Gallagher brothers, along with former Oasis members Andy Bell, Gem Archer, and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs.

Joey Waronker, known for his work with notable artists, has been chosen as the new drummer for the tour, replacing Zak Starkey.

Zak Starkey, who drummed for Oasis from 2004 to 2009, expressed his disappointment at not being included in the reunion, stating he was 'gutted' by the news.

In a recent interview, Starkey revealed he reached out to the Gallagher brothers via text to ask why he wasn't part of the tour.

Despite his feelings about the exclusion, Starkey acknowledged that bands often develop comfort with new musicians, which may explain the decision.

Starkey's departure from The Who has been contentious, with Pete Townshend confirming his exit earlier this month, leading to further confusion about his status.

Currently, Starkey is focused on his new group, Mantra of the Cosmos, and is promoting their upcoming single 'Domino Bones,' which features collaboration with former Oasis bassist Andy Bell.

Starkey praised Oasis as the 'greatest rock and roll band of my generation,' emphasizing his respect for the group and his willingness to join the tour if invited.

The Oasis reunion tour will span 17 dates across the UK, including multiple performances at Wembley Stadium, before heading to North America and beyond.

Despite some controversy surrounding Ticketmaster's pricing strategy, fans are expressing excitement on social media about the upcoming reunion shows.

Reflecting on his time with The Who, Starkey discussed a recent performance that contributed to his dismissal, underscoring the complexities of his current situation.
