He posted the image on Aug. 31, just a few days after the Gallaghers shared the news of the reunion.”[Not gonna lie] you would be the best one to return. All due respect to [Tony] McCarroll, [Zak] Starkey and the High Flying Birds Fella, you’re THE Oasis drummer,” a fan commented on the post.Oasis Concert At The Hard Rock Joint In Las VegasEthan Miller, Getty Imagesloading…Guitarist Gem Archer is rumored to join the reunion as well, according to a report by The Mirror.

The key is getting people who both brothers get on with and also respect and ideally of course they would also have been in the band before too.””Gem ticks all those boxes and he also contributed to the writing of some Oasis songs. He is an obvious target and it would be a huge shock if he was not on the stage for the U.K. tour. He knows the songs, he knows the band inside out and he has been on tour with the Gallaghers before and so he knows what he would be signing up for.”Beady Eye Performs in Concert in MadridRobert Marquardt, Getty Imagesloading…The 10 Biggest Rock + Metal Bands With the Most Lineup ChangesBut they’ve all made it work.
