Tom Dunne: Oasis really will make grown men cry

No one seems to have quite predicted how emotional it would be... you have lived 30 years of your life since you first fell in love with this band, this music, these songs

Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher of Oasis.

Grown men are going to cry. It’s not something you see a lot of, particularly with this type of man, but it’s coming. It’s been documented. The Oasis
reunion is going to bring ‘the feels’. When they hit Talk Tonight it’s going to make The Shawshank Redemption look like a Disney movie.

The Shawshank Redemption is generally seen as a famously emotional movie for men. A man is falsely imprisoned. But he doesn’t buckle. He endures in what is a profound story about friendship, hope, injustice and perseverance. He maintains dignity in the face of crushing adversity... just like every Oasis fan I know.
