Liam Gallagher has apologised for the cancelled Oasis headline slot at Sunday's V Festival.

Liam Gallagher has spoken out for the first time about his band Oasis having to cancel their headline slot at Sunday’s V Festival, scheduled to take place at the Chelmsford Hylands Park venue.

Oasis were able to perform at the V Festival the day before at the Shifnal Weston Park, but singer Liam Gallagher was diagnosed with viral laryngitis by doctors and was forced to pull out of their performance for the following day, disappointing many of the fans who came to V Festival to see them especially.

Liam Gallagher posted his comments using Twitter, claiming his voice had disappeared, and that he was gutted and sorry. He also paid respect to the bands who covered Oasis songs on the Sunday night in their absence, which included Keane.

Lead singer of Keane Tom Chaplin has admitted wanting to work with Oasis some day and that the band are huge fans of theirs.

Despite Oasis not showing much support towards Keane in the past, Tom Chaplin believes the two bands share a lot of fans and that they are two bands who relate to their audience.

Tom Chaplin also thinks that both Keane and Oasis songs are always direct whilst the group of people who go to Keane and Oasis gigs is like the coming together of a community.

Other bands who covered Oasis songs during their absence at Sunday’s V Festival were MGMT and Snow Patrol, who became the new Sunday headliners.

MGMT, with current album Oracular Spectacular, are scheduled to play one more UK festival this year and it comes in the shape of Bestival 2009, which is being held at the Isle of Wight Robin Hill Adventure Park from September 11-13.

Also, Snow Patrol will be back in the UK for their Winter tour, which they have called the Reworked Tour and are sure to perform songs from their last album A Hundred Million Suns.

The Snow Patrol Reworked tour begins at the Brighton Centre on November 18.

It will then stop off at the Bristol Colston Hall (November 20), Newcastle City Hall (November 21), London Royal Albert Hall (November 23 & 24), Manchester Palace Theatre (November 27 & 29) and the Glasgow SECC and Clyde Auditorium (November 30) before taking the tour to Ireland.

Blur have not written songs together since recording their last album Think Tank which was released in May 2003.

However, Blur bassist Alex James has admitted that he, frontman Damon Albarn and guitarist Graham Coxon have been experimenting with new ideas during rehearsals.

Graham Coxon adds that the band have not tried to play completely new songs yet and would not be performing new songs on tour, because more time would need to be spent on them to do the music justice.

The band do not want to put pressure on themselves by performing new material and want to just focus on having fun.

Meanwhile, Jamie Reynolds from the Klaxons has revealed that their eagerly anticipated second album will not be released until 2010.

The last album released by the Klaxons was Myths Of The Near Future from January 2007.

Jamie Reynolds says that they are yet to find a producer to work on the 28 songs the Klaxons have already written, but are happy not to rush the process.

The Klaxons have stopped working with producer Tony Visconti, who helped out earlier in the album making process, and a replacement has not yet been appointed.

Klaxons might preview some of their new material in the upcoming shows they have in the UK.

In fact, Klaxons and Blur will be playing the Manchester Evening News Arena on June 26.

Klaxons will also play Bestival 2009 at the Robin Hill Adventure Park, Isle of Wight which takes place from September 11-13.
