A lot depends on if the rumoured November sessions produce a new album.

Don't know what happened at the start of Supersonic though when the verse started. Also the non-sunglasses guitarist could barely be heard when playing the solos.

Doesn't mean he's right though - I always thought it was exactly the album I expected Oasis to make at the time, overblown, coke-addled and not as good as the first two? Sure is, but it's still got (for me anyway) at least half a dozen brilliant songs on it.
I wonder if Liam had a monitoring issue, sounds out of tune and to be fair he's normally pretty much in tune.
I don't think it matters too much if you are there, that many people will be singing you don't notice.
I even thought Ian Brown sounded great at the Stone Roses reunion gigs, wasn't until I heard clips on youtube I realised how bad he was at some points, but with the crown singing, booze and nostalgia flowing it doesn't really mattter.
Booze, boos, all adds up to getting huffy and storming off.
Possibly, but if you listen to any of his recent gigs it's clear his range has gone. He's sticking to the same keys, but singing with much less variation which makes it almost monotone, and as many comments on YT have said, it's very karaoke like. What's clear also is that some fans couldn't care less and love it anyway, so each to their own.

If "still sounds like they did in their prime" was a requirement, no nostalgia act, including the Stones and Macca, would be allowed to tour.
There's another thread running where everyone is gushing over a recent Gilmour performance where he manages to make the Comfy solo sound like a story about having an onion on his belt its so dull.. but he must be in his 70s, he has to fit in the tour around complaining he isn't getting his winter fuel payment.
McCartney doesn't sound great now, but he's 82. Check out his performance at Live 8 when he was a mere 63.

My point is... we all get old!
LG is pretty young for his voice to be tailing off but I doubt his singing style or lifestyle, certainly in those days, was conducive to longevity.
There's loads of professional singers who have kept great voices into middle and old age but they probably had better
technique and looked after their voices. I don't think LG was ever about that, which is part of why people liked him in the first place.
Liam has always had a problem with monitoring. He normally has 3 monitors, one in front of the mic stand and one each side of it. He did try IEM's in the last days of Oasis, then went back to monitors. Then tried IEM's again, then back to monitors .. no idea what he does now.
The trouble with Liam is he wants to be onstage but experience the gig like the crowd does. So everything has always been too loud and his voice has suffered to the point it's a bit wrecked now.
There is a danger he could lose his voice after 3 or 4 songs at the first gig of the reunion .. it's happened before

Count me as confused. And also not really bothered beyond hoping fans over here get some cash back.
