What do you think would happen if two rock music geniuses decided to finally put their hands together and collaborate after years of being in the industry together? It would surely leave the fans shocked. We are talking about Liam Gallagher and John Squire’s recent announcement that has fans waiting for their comeback in excitement.
English singer-songwriter Gallagher was first noticed by fans in 1991 when he debuted with the rock band Oasis as their lead vocalist. The band was active and super popular till 2009, after which Gallagher turned to lead yet another rock band called Beady Eye, which remained active till 2014, after which the singer started pursuing a solo career as a musician.
The man might be arrogant and tense in terms of his personality, but his musical genius has been recognized by his fans. From his debut album, Definitely Maybe, to the last one that Oasis released as a group, Dig Out Your Soul, which came out in 2008, there was not a single moment when the group wasn’t shining.
Beady Eye was supposed to be just as successful as Oasis if not more, but things did not turn out that way, though this is not to say the group was not a hit. As a solo artist, Liam is extremely active and continues to perform for fans despite his numerous controversies.
Another artist who has been a part of the rock genre on and off over the years is our guy, John Squire, a songwriter, guitarist, and a talented painter. He is known to have started his music career with the band The Stone Roses, and once it became inactive, he worked as a member of another group, The Seahorses.
Squire seems to have a strange relationship with music. As we believe fans would know, the artist has announced his retirement from the music industry more than once but has returned still. The first time was in 2007, when he let fans know that he was done with music and was turning to painting fully.
He did so for almost five years but was eventually back to playing the guitar when The Stone Roses decided to make a comeback. Around 2017, fans were told that the band was going to be disbanded for good, and this pushed John back to painting once again.
Squire’s musical abilities are known well by fans, who acknowledge him to be one of the best out there. While he may not be performing as a full-time musician, fans have spotted him playing as a guest at Liam Gallagher’s shows back in 2022.
Squire & Gallagher’s Collaboration
Gallagher recently took to his social media to let fans know that something big was about to hit them sometime in 2024. While the dates have not been announced yet, we know that Gallagher plans on collaborating with the legend himself.
Not just this, he also put a link to a website where fans could sign up to get updates about what was to come. We first saw the two playing together at Gallagher’s Knebworth shows last year, where the two performed the 1995 Champagne Supernova anthem.
Since then, Gallagher has taken time to tease fans about a ‘supergroup’ that was about to come to shock them. Not only this, he grabbed our attention with his confidence when he called this upcoming music even better than Revolver by The Beatles.
In a behind-the-scenes video that Gallagher released, fans were able to hear him call Squire the best possible guitarist of this generation and in the world. Oasis fans and fans of The Stone Roses are both ecstatic with the news and can barely contain the excitement.
It was around late last year when Gallagher had expressed his wish to work with a talented guitarist, also adding that the latter had a few things he wanted to sort out before coming back to music properly. Seems like Squire is all set to get inside the studio and create some more magic.
Gallagher has been actively promoting and teasing fans, creating so much hype around the secret project. Though we do not know what it will be or when it will be out, we’re sure fans will patiently wait to support their idols.
