Oasis axe song from their setlist because it uses lyrics written by a paedophile

Oasis have reportedly axed a song from their setlist this summer because it includes lyrics written by Gary Glitter.

Noel and Liam Gallagher have put aside their 15-year feud and last year announced plans to reunite for a tour this summer.

For those lucky enough to bag tickets, the first of the band's 19 UK concerts will take place in Cardiff on 4 July.

With the shows just weeks away now, the boys have been busy preparing and putting together setlists.

The Sun has now reported that the pair will not be singing 'Hello' as it contains lyrics referencing disgraced Glitter's track, 'Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again'.

In the song, which is included in the 1995 album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, Liam repeats the line 'Hello, hello, it’s good to be back, it’s good to be back'.

While it would be a pretty fitting song after all this time, Liam and Noel are not including it in the tour this summer.

“The lyrics of the song would obviously have been a good fit for the reunion tour but the band have decided to leave it in the past," said a source.

“It would be inappropriate to play it given its ­connotations to Glitter and his convictions.”

LADbible has reached out to the band for comment.

Last week, the brothers were spotted in public together for the first time in yonks, as they were snapped arriving at a working men's club in Newington Green in London.

They were filming promo for their new tour, despite the fact that all the tickets in the UK and Ireland sold out almost immediately.

A source close to Noel told The Mirror: "Noel is often in and out of the studio working on things, he is a singer songwriter so it's only natural.

"But Liam is a singer and he has a long list of dates ahead of him with Oasis this year so he will not be overdoing rehearsals.

"After a big solo Definitely Maybe tour your last year, the main thing his voice needs at the moment is rest."

Following that meet-up, Noel appeared briefly on talkSPORT, speaking to Alan Brazil of all people when he was asked how Liam is doing.

He said: "He's great. I was with him yesterday actually. He's alright. He's on tip top form."

After Cardiff, Oasis will play at Manchester's Heaton Park, Wembley Stadium in London, Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium, and Dublin's Croke Park before moving on to the America, South America, Asia and Australia leg of the tour.
