Liam Gallagher deleted an X post containing a slur used to mock East Asians and apologized shortly before Oasis’s reunion tour was scheduled to begin in July 2025. Some users criticized the apology for not directly acknowledging the harm caused; the reported responses do not represent all Asian fans.
What did Liam Gallagher apologize for?
In a report published on 2 July 2025, The Independent’s Shahana Yasmin said Gallagher had posted the slur on X the previous Tuesday. The outlet described the term as a derogatory imitation of Asian accents, particularly used to mock people of Chinese origin or those perceived to be Chinese. The report is the contemporaneous account of the deleted post; no preserved official copy is available here. The Independent’s report

According to the same account, fans replied that the term was racist. Gallagher responded, “Behave,” “Whatever,” and “It’s an ancient thought process get on it,” then deleted the post and apologized. These details are attributed to the outlet because the original post was deleted.
What did Gallagher say in his apology?
The Independent reproduced his apology as: “Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn’t intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate,” followed by “Peace and love.” Its conditional opening and statement about intent are part of the wording: it did not explicitly say, “I was wrong.” The Independent’s report

How did people respond to the apology?
The Independent reported that some users called the apology insincere and wanted a more direct acknowledgement of wrongdoing. It also noted objections to non-Asian users speaking on behalf of Asian audiences. Those were examples of reactions on social media reported by one outlet, not a measure of what Asian fans as a whole thought. The account does not establish that the apology resolved the criticism.

The apology came two days before Oasis’s reunion tour was scheduled to open in Cardiff on 4 July 2025. The Independent also listed South Korea on 21 October and Tokyo on 25 and 26 October as scheduled tour dates that year; these are historical dates, not an indication of current tour activity.

Oasis had disbanded in 2009. In coverage of the reunion announcement, the Associated Press quoted the band’s line: “The guns have fallen silent.” That context explains why the incident drew attention just before the group returned to touring; it does not establish Gallagher’s motives for posting or apologizing.
