Liam Gallagher Thanks Fans for Not Voting as Oasis Falls Behind in 2026 Rock Hall Fan Vote

Low Ranking in Rock Hall Fan Vote

Oasis, the British rock band that helped define the 1990s, is currently far behind in the fan vote for the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. They are nominated alongside artists like Phil Collins, Shakira, Mariah Carey, and Wu‑Tang Clan. Phil Collins is leading the vote with the most support so far, while Oasis sits well down the list in terms of fan votes.

Fan voting for the Rock Hall has been open for weeks. The poll is one of several ways the organisation gauges public interest in the nominated performers. While fans can vote daily, Oasis has received only a small share compared with other nominees.

Liam Gallagher’s Response Online

Frontman Liam Gallagher has reacted to Oasis’s position in the fan poll in a way typical of his public persona. After a fan account shared Oasis’s low placement on social media, Gallagher posted several messages thanking fans for not voting for the band.

On X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:

“IM SO HAPPY.”

He also posted:

“I’d like to thank all the people who HAVENT voted for us from the bottom of my HEART this is for you thanks.”

And in another message:

“And to all the people who voted for us SIT DOWN.”

Gallagher’s comments drew mixed reactions from fans online. Some said his remarks were funny and true to his outspoken character, while others felt he was missing an opportunity to encourage support for the band.

History of Gallagher’s Criticism

This year is the first time Oasis has been eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Eligibility begins 25 years after an artist’s first release. Despite strong sales and a large global fan base, Oasis’s fan vote numbers lag far behind many other nominees.

Gallagher has not been shy about his views on the Hall of Fame in the past. When Oasis were first nominated, he posted that the organisation was “very fishy” and “a load of bollox.” In other social media messages, he used sharp language to dismiss the idea of Oasis being part of the event, telling followers not to vote and calling the voting process unimportant.

Fans React to the Vote

Fans have also been commenting on the Rock Hall vote on online forums. Some Oasis listeners said they still enjoy voting, even if they know the fan poll is only one part of the selection process. Others said they felt the Hall of Fame does not matter much and that Oasis’s legacy stands on its own.

There have also been reminders that even artists with lower fan vote totals can still be inducted, since the final decision involves a broader group of industry voters beyond the public poll.

Despite the drama around the fan vote, Oasis’s music and influence continue to spark discussion among fans around the world.
