Blur frontman Damon Albarn has said that he believes the “road is clear” for an Oasis reunion.Back in May this year, Albarn said that he would “put money” on his band’s ’90s Britpop rivals reuniting.His comments came as Blur themselves began their own comeback tour in their hometown of Colchester.“I can guarantee they’re going to reform,” Albarn told The Sun of the chances of the Gallaghers putting their ongoing feud to bed. “In fact, I’ve put money on it.”In a new interview with Consequence, Albarn elaborated on his previous speculation about the possibility of a reunion.“Well, of course they were gonna.

The road is clear for them to do that now. I think that’s great. You know what I mean? Obviously I expect an excellent new record to accompany it,” he said.Three years ago, in a cover interview with NME, Liam Gallagher said that an Oasis reunion was “gonna happen very soon”.

Back in January, Noel then claimed that he would “never say never” to the idea.However, shortly after Liam accused his brother of doing “a lot of damage” to the brand.Speaking to NME In Conversation last month about the comeback shows of Britpop peers Blur and Pulp, Noel said: “Blur never split up, did they?

Pulp never split up, they just went and did other things, which is the adult way of doing it. Sadly my fucking band were very far from adult about it.
