Liam Gallagher’s Racial Slur Sparks Backlash Ahead of Oasis Toronto Tour Stop
So, here’s what’s been making headlines lately—something that’s caused a ripple in the music world and among fans gearing up for one of the biggest reunion tours of the decade. I’m talking about Oasis, and more specifically, Liam Gallagher, who’s once again found himself in hot water—this time, for using a racial slur on social media just ahead of the band’s highly anticipated tour kickoff.
Earlier this week, Liam posted a now-deleted tweet that included a racial slur widely recognized as offensive toward East Asian communities. Screenshots of the post started circulating quickly, and naturally, backlash followed. One user directly called him out, writing, “Liam, you can’t say that.” Gallagher responded with a dismissive “Why,” followed by “Behave,” when it was pointed out that the term was racist. The whole exchange didn't sit well with many, especially given the timing—just days before Oasis launches their long-awaited reunion tour.

In response to the criticism, Liam issued an apology on X (formerly Twitter), writing: “Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before, it wasn’t intentional. You know I love you all and I do not discriminate. Peace and love. LG x.” While some fans appreciated the apology, others questioned its sincerity, especially with the original post still lingering in screenshots.
What’s especially striking about this controversy is its timing. Oasis is set to reunite on stage for the first time in 15 years—a monumental moment in music history. The band starts their tour in Wales, with dates lined up across the U.K. and Ireland before heading to North America. And yes, Toronto is on the list—August 24th, to be exact. It’s supposed to be a celebration of music, memories, and brotherhood, but now, it’s being overshadowed by a moment that could’ve been easily avoided with just a bit more awareness and responsibility.
As the band gears up to relive their glory days and fans prepare for what should be a historic show in Toronto, the incident is a reminder that words carry weight—especially from public figures with global influence. The excitement for Oasis’ return is still very much alive, but it’s now mixed with a sense of caution. People will be watching not just the performance, but the behavior—on stage and off.
Let’s hope the music speaks louder than the missteps.
