Oasis Removes 'Hello' from Reunion Tour Setlist

Oasis have removed the song 'Hello' from their upcoming reunion tour setlist due to its association with Gary Glitter, who was sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2015 for child sexual abuse. The song, which opens their 1995 album '(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?', features elements from Glitter's 1973 hit and credits him and his producer as co-writers. The decision comes ahead of Oasis's first shows together in 16 years, with the tour set to begin in Cardiff on July 4 and to include dates in the UK, US, and Australia. Band sources said performing the song would be inappropriate given Glitter's convictions. The Gallagher brothers are also reported to have separate backstage arrangements to maintain harmony. The move underscores the band's desire to distance themselves from Glitter's legacy.
