Liam Gallagher wasn’t exactly thrilled with the recent SNL skit that poked fun at him and his brother, Noel. The 51-year-old music icon took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to express his disappointment with James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman’s impersonations of the famous siblings. When a fan inquired about Liam’s thoughts on the Weekend Update segment that playfully mocked their Manchester accents and ongoing feud, he didn’t hold back, describing it as “excruciating.”
In response to a supporter who felt SNL had treated him unfairly, Liam quipped, “I wouldn’t expect anything less from them.” He even questioned the comedic abilities of Johnson and Sherman, asking, “Are they supposed to be funny?” It seems Liam believes he and Noel are the true masters of humor, as he agreed with a fan who claimed they were “a thousand times funnier” than the SNL portrayals.
On the other side of the equation, Sherman, 31, seemed unfazed by Liam’s criticism, simply responding with a single word: “LEGEND.”
The Gallagher brothers have been making headlines since announcing their long-awaited Oasis comeback tour, Oasis Live ’25, set to kick off next summer in the U.K. and Ireland before heading to North America in August. This reunion comes 15 years after their much-publicized split in 2009, with Oasis teasing fans with a cryptic statement in late August: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
Despite their musical reunion, Liam revealed on X recently that he and Noel have decided to skip joint promotional interviews to avoid uncomfortable questions about their tumultuous relationship. Reflecting on their past, Liam admitted he doesn’t even remember their SNL appearance in 1997, hosted by the late Matthew Perry.
As the Gallagher brothers gear up for their highly anticipated tour, it’s clear that their dynamic, both on and off stage, continues to captivate audiences worldwide. The saga of Liam and Noel Gallagher, with all its twists and turns, remains a compelling chapter in the annals of rock ‘n’ roll history.
