Paul McCartney made a surprise appearance at an Oasis concert in the US, triggering fans to recall a funny encounter between the legendary Beatles icon and Liam Gallagher. The two had previously met backstage and at the Royal Albert Hall in London. However, their conversation veered away from music into a misunderstanding that led McCartney to jokingly call Gallagher “stupid.” Gallagher later shared the amusing incident in an interview, confessing his confusion at the time when he thought McCartney was offering him something odd. Despite the mix-up, Gallagher praised McCartney as “absolutely fantastic” in their past interactions.
Gallagher has openly credited The Beatles, particularly John Lennon, for influencing his career. The encounter with Lennon’s songwriting partner left a lasting impact on Gallagher, who was clearly in awe.
Recalling their interaction, McCartney recounted a humorous moment at the Royal Albert Hall where he playfully chided Gallagher for misunderstanding a question about margaritas. Fans found the tale hilarious, with some dubbing it as their favorite Gallagher story.
Supporters are now eager for a potential collaboration between Oasis and McCartney, though it seems unlikely. Enthusiasts are hopeful for a McCartney-Gallagher partnership, especially as McCartney hinted at an upcoming album release early next year.
The Gallagher siblings were known for incorporating The Beatles’ “I Am the Walrus” into their performances, a tradition absent from their recent Live ’25 tour. Nevertheless, Liam Gallagher occasionally treats fans to a snippet of the melody during his solo shows.
Excited fans speculate about a possible McCartney/Gallagher collaboration, with one suggesting it could be in progress. Another fan mentioned McCartney’s upcoming album plans, expressing a desire for a photo featuring all three musicians together.
McCartney recently shared insights into his touring motivation, discussing how he maintains his fingertips for playing guitar extensively. He revealed that his fingertips develop calluses during tours, softening during breaks but hardening again for recording sessions.
