Noel Gallagher Breaks Silence On Oasis James Bond Theme Rumours

Noel Gallagher has responded to rumours that his group Oasis is in consideration to record the next James Bond theme.

In 2025, Noel and his brother Liam Gallagher began the reunion tour the music world thought would never happen when they performed as Oasis for the first time since parting ways 16 years earlier.

Last month, The Sun reported that the Britpop group was “at the top” of James Bond producers’ wishlist to record the theme song for the next movie in the franchise.

Noel subsequently appeared on TalkSport on Monday, where he insisted he’d not heard anything from the 007 team, but would be up for it if they were to get in touch.

“Of course, it would be an absolute honour,” he enthused, before stating his belief that “those kinds of things should be done by Brits and not Yanks”.

Noel previously told NME back in 2008 that he thought it was a “piss-take” that so many American audiences were invited to record Bond themes over talent from the UK, despite the character being “the greatest British agent of all time”.

“I’ve written a couple of Bond theme tunes,” he then revealed. “They haven’t got very Bond-esque titles, so I would have to tailor the title accordingly.

“The latest one that I wrote, I listened back to it thinking, ‘Fucking hell man, that’d make a fucking great Bond theme’.”

As for Liam, he responded to the rumours on X last month...

While the next James Bond movie now has a director and screenwriter in Denis Villeneuve and Steven Knight, one thing it’s still lacking is a star, following the departure of Daniel Craig from the franchise at the end of 2021’s No Time To Die.

Until recently, Aaron Taylor-Johnson had been widely considered a frontrunner for the role, but it’s since been reported that Callum Turner looks set to take over the role of Bond.

Over the weekend, the Daily Mail also reported that Dua Lipa, Callum’s fiancée, was being eyed to write and record the next James Bond film, following on from Billie Eilish, who won an Oscar for her contribution to No Time To Die.

Meanwhile, other acts who’ve been reported to be in the running to record the theme song for the upcoming 26th James Bond movie have included Raye and Lana Del Rey.
