"I’m assuming he’s doing some writing" - Kelly Jones says Noel Gallagher might be working on new music

Stereophonics member Kelly Jones has made an interesting revelation about Noel Gallagher. NME published an interview on April 25, 2025, where Jones was asked about his thoughts on the Oasis reunion.

He said it was great that they finally reunited after a long time. Jones felt it was amazing that Oasis had another chance after everything they had been through. He also reminisced about finding old photos of Noel Gallagher, saying:

“Funnily enough, I found some old pictures of me and Noel rehearsing when he used to have a studio down in Windsor recently, just before we toured America. We were having a laugh about them and I asked him what he’d been up to and he said he’d been doing some writing in the studio.”

He went on:

“I’m assuming he’s doing some writing for either his stuff or if they’re gonna bring out a couple songs, I don’t know.”

When asked about his memories of touring with Oasis, Kelly Jones said it was wild but a lot of fun. He mentioned touring with them in Japan, where they shared the bill at Fuji Rock in 2001 and spent time together at a Tokyo bar called Abbey Road.

He shared that Noel Gallagher had been a good friend, helping him out from the time of their third album. Kelly Jones also recalled Noel picking him up from V2 Records and taking him to the first Teenage Cancer Trust gig, where Noel introduced him to John Entwistle, Pete Townshend, and Roger Daltrey.

Kelly Jones on Stereophonics’ latest album

Stereophonics released their latest album Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait in April 2025. When asked about the long album title, Kelly Jones explained that it came from a phrase one of his film school lecturers often wrote on his papers.

He said he had kept it in mind for years, as it described a natural flow he often used, telling a funny story, then shifting to something more emotional, and so on. He added that the phrase had quietly influenced a lot of his work over time, and it felt right to use it as the album title now.

The interviewer asked if he thought Oasis' reunion was good for music. Kelly Jones said he wasn’t sure if it gave the same feeling as it did back in the older days, which he compared to the wild but joyful vibe of the 1970s. He pointed out that times had changed, but live shows had the power to bring people together, and he believed Oasis' concerts would be just as exciting in 2025.

He also mentioned how people of his age were excited to see the band live. Kelly Jones added that although more people were listening to music than ever before, listeners today weren’t as focused on the details. They just cared if the song was good.

Kelly Jones said that live performances remained special because the band could fully control the experience. He added that seeing the energy shared with huge crowds every night was an experience, especially when people needed that kind of connection more than ever.
