The former Oasis frontman has answered the hypothetical question from a fan on social media.

Liam Gallagher has revealed that Rock 'N' Roll Star is the first song he'd perform if Oasis were to reunite and play live dates.

The Britpop band's former frontman was asked the question by a fan on X and said he'd opt for the opening track from their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe.

Quizzed about the often talked about moment and asked which song he'd open with, the 51-year-old rocker simply replied "RNR star".

Despite being open to his fan's line of questioning, Liam Gallagher has said he wants to 'move on' from speculation surrounding an Oasis reunion and even hit former bandmate Andy Bell's comments that the band would "probably" reunite "at some point".

Taking to X, he wrote: "Andy bell from ride the shoe gazing phenomenon should really not be getting people’s hopes up it’s not big and and it’s not clever LG x".

When a fan pointed out that the guitarist was simply saying what Liam has himself said many times, he responded: "I’ve never mentioned oasis reunion it’s over we must all really move in for our own mental health" (sic).

The Supersonic singer's comments came after he was asked about an Oasis reunion on The Jonathan Ross Show and claimed he was "all good".

When the presenter said he read that Liam had begun speaking to his brother Noel, he said: "I haven't spoken to him. I haven't spoken to him for about 10 years," he added, before correcting himself: "Since 2009 I think."

When Ross opined that people might feel the estranged brothers are "missing out", Liam added: "Nah. I'm having a great time. Don't worry about it. I'm all good man."

When pressing him on the possibility of a reunion once more, asking "So that's not happening?" Liam joked: "Not this week, no."

Either way, fans will be watching Liam Gallagher play Rock 'N' Roll Star very soon as he embarks on his Definitely Maybe 30th anniversary dates this summer.

The Manchester legend promises to play the band's debut album in full as well as b-sides from the era.
