In a surprising move from the from the infamous party boy of the 90s, Liam Gallagher has announced his plans to go sober for the highly anticipated 2025 Oasis reunion tour. The Live ’25 Tour marks the band’s first performances together since their infamous split in 2009, with the frontman reportedly making major lifestyle changes to ensure he’s in top form for the shows.
According to a source speaking to The Sun, “Liam’s just returned from a boozy holiday and now plans to be in lock-down for the foreseeable to focus on getting fit for the tour. He is planning on being sober ahead of and on tour with Oasis. He’s actually used cutting out booze to help him prepare and also to get through the shows before.”
Gallagher’s relationship with alcohol has long been a subject of intrigue. Reflecting on his past, Liam revealed that he stopped drinking before going on stage after his erratic performances at Wembley in 2000. In a 2018 interview with GQ Australia, he candidly admitted to the challenges of staying sober:
“I booze it – don’t really do much of the other stuff, no goodies anymore, not proper stuff… I certainly can’t drink before I go on stage or a night before. The voice don’t handle that anymore. I’m 44 now, so it’s like, get a good night’s kip, get out for a run in the morning. Get to the gig. Do the gig. Give the people what they want. And then, it’s my time. I’ll never be fucking sober. Well, I’ll be sober – I’ve been sober for six months once there before, and it’s fucked. Being sober drove me to drink.”
How did you get so spiritual

Despite his past skepticism about sobriety, Liam seems committed to embracing a healthier lifestyle ahead of the reunion. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Gallagher found himself exploring spirituality, something he credits with helping him manage his often chaotic rockstar lifestyle. Responding to a fan on Twitter who asked, “How did you get so spiritual?” Liam’s typical no-nonsense response was left up to interpretation but hinted at his journey toward self-improvement. When asked by a fan if he misses his days of excessive drinking, Liam kept it simple with a one-word reply on Twitter: “No.”
