Ride’s Andy Bell has weighed in his thoughts on the possibility of an Oasis reunion, and said that he thinks Noel and Liam Gallagher “probably will” get back together.The comments arose in a new interview that the musician took part in with Virgin Radio, where he spoke about his upcoming tour with the recently reunited band, Ride.While emerging into the spotlight with bands Ride and Hurricane, Bell went on to join the Britpop icons after both previous projects split – taking on the role of bassist, despite being a guitarist originally.

He joined the line-up in 1999 and remained in the group until the band split in 2009.“I got into [Oasis] very early on, and I saw some really early gigs of theirs… I saw them upwards of ten times all around the country, so yeah, I’m a huge fan,” he told the outlet, going on to recall how he eventually joined the band.“It was a couple of years after Ride split, and I was in a new band called Hurricane.

We had broken up, and there had been a story in the papers saying that my band had broken up, and I guess [Oasis] realised I was knocking around.”Later in the interview, Bell was asked for his thoughts on the speculation that Oasis may reform for their upcoming 30th anniversary.

While he couldn’t share anything concrete regarding any plans, he did seem to have an optimistic outlook about the idea becoming reality.“Yeah, they probably will.
