Oasis is Back! But Wait, Where's Chris Sharrock?

Oasis reunites after 15 years, but what about Chris Sharrock, the band's drummer? Let's dig into his journey and discover his current gig!

It’s the news we’ve all been waiting for: Oasis, the legendary Britpop band that defined an era (and perhaps, the entire 90s music scene), is making a grand return after a staggering 15 years since their breakup in 2009. With audiences buzzing and nostalgic vibes at an all-time high, the boys are back in town, ready to rock the stage once again! But as fans celebrate, one question arises: What does the future hold for Chris Sharrock, the band’s drummer who joined the party during their later years?

Chris Sharrock, who played with Oasis during the band’s peak in the mid-90s, is more than just a mere footnote in rock history. Before joining Oasis, he was a seasoned pro, drumming for bands like The La’s and later, the renowned World Party, where he honed his chops and caught the attention of Noel Gallagher. His rhythmic contributions can be heard on the iconic albums "Be Here Now" and "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants". But where is he now? Could he possibly return for this monumental reunion?

Fast forward to today, Chris is still very much active in the music scene! He has been playing with various artists and bands in recent years, including some of the most celebrated names in British rock. His infectious beats have kept on keeping on, yet the rumor mill churns; the anticipation for a reunion performance is palpable. Although there’s been no official confirmation regarding his involvement in the upcoming tour, fans can’t help but wonder if we’ll see him unite with Liam and Noel on stage once again or if he’ll be busy jamming elsewhere.

But let’s not forget: Oasis was and always will be more than just a band. It encapsulated a defining movement in music history. Did you know Noel Gallagher nearly missed the chance to join a band altogether? He famously worked as a roadie for Inspiral Carpets before taking the plunge. As for Chris, he’s been vocal about the wholesome camaraderie that characterized his time with Oasis, often reminiscing about endless band pranks and fiery jam sessions that decorated their glory days. Friends may drift apart, but the bonds formed in those raucous nights of rock’n’roll music last forever!
