Phil Collins Extends Olive Branch to Oasis Before Rock Hall

Phil Collins has extended an olive branch to Oasis, suggesting a decades-old feud may have been a misunderstanding as both acts prepare to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this November. In a new interview, Collins said he is willing to give the Gallagher brothers "the benefit of the doubt" regarding past insults, including being labeled "the antichrist of music."

The induction ceremony is scheduled for November 14, 2026, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Collins noted that all inductees have been invited to a pre-ceremony lunch. "Which will be interesting, as I'm sure to bump into Oasis," he said.

The public discord dates to the mid-1990s when Oasis emerged. In footage featured in the 2016 documentary "Supersonic," Noel Gallagher declared Collins and Sting made "junk food" music and stated, "I want the severed head of Phil Collins in my fridge by the end of this decade." Gallagher later encouraged voters to support the Labour Party in the 1997 UK general election to prevent Collins, then living in Switzerland, from returning to Britain. Collins responded in a 2005 interview, calling Oasis "rude," "horrible," and "not as talented as they think."
