Despite his continued animosity towards the Hall of Fame, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has shared a tongue-in-cheek message on the news, writing on X: "I wanna thank all the people who voted for us it’s a real honour ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I’d dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame it’s true what they say anything is possible if you have a dream LG x"

The Manchester legend has always been forthcoming about his thoughts on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and his criticisms go as far back as 2021.

When asked if he would like to see his then-defunct band inducted, he told a fan he was "not interested".

In 2024 he had much stronger language when Oasis made the nominees list, writing on the platform: "F***the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS LG x".

Earlier this year the Some Might Say rocker thanked fans for not voting Oasis to become part of the Hall of Fame, when early voting results suggested that Oasis were far behind.
