Oasis singer Liam Gallagher apologises for using racial slur on social media post: ‘I do not discriminate’

Oasis' Liam Gallagher wrote an apology for a since-deleted Twitter post he made on Monday using a slur used to mock East Asian people.

Liam Gallagher of Oasis has issued an unconditional apology for using a racial slur in a now-deleted social media post earlier this week. The singer took to Twitter (now called X) on Wednesday to write his apology and emphasised that he does not discriminiate.

Earlier in the week, Liam posted and then deleted a tweet that contained a widely used racial slur for East Asian people. The tweet is still available to view via screenshots, and has earned the Oasis star criticism from social media users. One user wrote, "Liam, you can't say that." He replied, "Why," which was met with another user writing back, "Cuz it's racist." The singer subsequently responded by writing, "Behave!" However, in the days since, Liam not only deleted the post but also issued an apology. The apology has, however, irked some of the band's fans, who feel that Liam need not say sorry and the statement was just ‘mild banter’.

Liam Gallagher's offensive post came shortly ahead of Oasis' long-awaited reunion tour, which will begin in Wales this Saturday. The English rock band announced the tour last September, first revealing dates for the U.K. before announcing dates in the U.S., Canada and Mexico soon after. The band recently revealed they would be releasing an accompanying film tied to the concerts as well, directed by Steven Knight.
