After years of expressing disdain for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Liam Gallagher has had a change of heart, calling Oasis' induction into the institution this year a 'real honor.' The singer, who previously described the Rock Hall as 'full of BUMBACLARTS' and said he didn't 'need some wank award,' has now thanked fans for voting the band in and said he's dreamed of this since he was a kid singing in the shower.

Why it matters

Gallagher's about-face on the Rock Hall induction reflects the complex and often contradictory nature of his public persona. His initial dismissals of the institution aligned with his reputation for brash, unapologetic opinions, but his newfound embrace of the honor suggests a softening of that stance, perhaps driven by a genuine appreciation for the recognition from his peers.

The details

In a series of tweets, Gallagher responded to Oasis being invited to join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, writing: 'I wanna thank all the people who voted for us it's a real honour ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I'd dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame it's true what they say anything is possible if you have a dream.' This is a stark contrast to his previous comments, where he called the Rock Hall 'for WANKERS' and said he didn't 'need some wank award by some geriatric in a cowboy hat.'

• In 2024, Oasis was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the first time.
• In 2025, Gallagher dismissed the band's nomination, tweeting: 'RNR hall of fame is for WANKERS.'
• On April 14, 2026, Oasis was announced as one of the inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's class of 2026.
