“I’d do it for free,” Liam Gallagher said of the potential Oasis reunion back in 2021. A few years earlier, he slammed the “c–t” Noel Gallagher for apparently charging $350 to see his show in New York.⁠
⁠
However, now that the reunion concerts have finally come to fruition, he has fallen foul of rank hypocrisy, taken fans for all their worth and when the critics of the dynamic pricing debacle have raised their just concerns, the brothers have hidden behind a flimsy statement made on their behalf.⁠
⁠
“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,” the latest comment from their management reads. The duo haven’t even had the nerve to share this flagrant nonsense on their own platforms, relinquishing all responsibility while lapping up all the money.⁠
⁠
Routinely, they have prided themselves on being bastions of the working classes. However, the reunion has highlighted this to be little more than self-marketing. The backbone of working class culture is built upon collective spirit and a drive for egalitarianism.⁠
⁠
This reunion, thus far, has been the antithesis of that. Now, not even an apt apology has been ventured, further souring the bitter taste of a comeback for the ages that has quickly become a cash-in for the aged.⁠

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has revealed his ambitions to one day sell the band’s catalogue and remove himself from the “mud bath.”⁠
⁠
The prog-rock band initially looked to sell their catalogue back in 2022. Potential buyers were contacted and Pink Floyd looked set to take home hundreds of millions for their music, but negotiations were halted when bassist Roger Waters shared a comment on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.⁠
⁠
Now, in a new interview with Rolling Stone, Gilmour has revealed that he is still interested in the idea of selling Pink Floyd’s catalogue. “It is something that is still in discussion, yeah,” he noted.⁠
⁠
The sale would reap huge financial returns for the band, but this doesn’t seem to be the main appeal for Gilmour. Rather, he seeks to remove himself from the “mud bath” that Pink Floyd has become.⁠
⁠
“To be rid of the decision making and arguments that are involved with keeping it going is my dream,” he explained, “If things were different… and I am not interested in that from a financial standpoint. I’m only interested in it from getting out of the mud bath that it has been for quite a while.”⁠
⁠
According to Gilmour, decision-making in the band works on a “veto system.” “You could say it’s three people saying yes,” he explained, “but one person saying no.”⁠
⁠
Pink Floyd aren’t the only legendary band who have expressed an interest in selling their back catalogues. Several artists have gone through with this process in the last few years, including Bruce Springsteen, who made a $500 million deal with Sony Music Publishing in 2021, and Stevie Nicks, who sold an 80 per cent stake in her catalogue in 2020.⁠
⁠
Meanwhile, Gilmour seems to be pouring his creative energy into his solo endeavours. His comments come just before the release of his next solo album, Luck and Strange, which arrives on September 6th.⁠
⁠
The record includes contributions from Gilmour’s wife, writer Polly Samson, who previously penned lyrics for Pink Floyd, as well as the late keyboard player Richard Wright. It will mark Gilmour’s fifth full-length solo offering and the first in almost a decade, following from the release of Rattle That Lock in 2015.
