They’d better not be over the hill, the better make these gigs really good ones.
And there’s no reason why they shouldn’t. I’ve seen older artists who are much older in recent years deliver fabulous performances (Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen).
I didn’t go to Liam’s recent gigs but he looked decent on the TV at Reading the other week and we saw him there a few years back when he was second on the bill and he was very good indeed; thought he’d given headliners Muse (who I’d seen once before) a real problem but to be fair, they came out honours pretty even, helped by bringing Brian Johnson out to sing an AC/DC song.
As for Oasis being ashamed, they aren’t doing this out of brotherly love, they are in the music business and will have been offered a lot of money to tour. “They’ve sold out man” is very 60’s!
