Last month (January 30), The Who frontman Roger Daltrey hinted that he would try and get Oasis to reunite for a Teenage Cancer Trust gig. Speaking about the possibility of persuading Liam and Noel Gallagher to perform together, he said: “Noel and Liam are brothers so it will all be alright. Don’t worry. Blood is thicker than music. Could I bring them together for a Teenage Cancer Trust show? Ask me next year.”
