Taylor Momsen was sad to learn that one of her favorite bands Oasis had split.
The British rock group went their separate ways in 2008, and now the Gossip Girl actress wishes that Noel and Liam Gallagher would reform the band.
"I am just their biggest fan and I want to support them one day on tour, so I hope they come back," said Make Me Wanna Die singer Taylor to Metro.
Momsen showed just how much she loves Oasis by performing several acoustic versions of their hit songs at last weekend's V Festival, with her band The Pretty Reckless.
"They are the best," Taylor said of British fans. "[They] just get it and know all the words."
The Pretty Reckless release their debut album Light Me Up next week.

Kasabian wrapped up their 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum' tour by gatecrashing two wedding parties with Noel Gallagher on Sunday night (August 22). Following their headline performance at V Festival in Chelmsford, the band invited 300 guests to Down Hall Country House Hotel and, upon arriving, discovered that the posh establishment was also hosting two wedding receptions. As the party got into full flow, the band, flanked by Gallagher and former Oasis drummer Zak Starkey, decided to crash the two receptions. Eventually the three dos merged into one, with Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno DJing (The Sun).

Richard Ashcroft doesn't believe Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye will come close to recreating the success his former outfit Oasis enjoyed, despite Gallagher's claims to the contrary.
Speaking to XFM the former Verve man said, "I'm really excited about Liam's stuff, and Noel [Gallagher]'s stuff too. They're both going to be great. Whether timing-wise, or culturally, anything is going to be as big as Oasis? I don't think so. I don't think anyone will."
Ashcroft explained his reasoning, "Because of the nature of Oasis when they arrived, there was a big vacuum, everyone was scared of rock 'n' roll. And Noel did it. Noel showed the way for a lot of people that there's still some great songs to be written."
The singer's remarks come on the back of Liam's claims that Beady Eye will be "bigger than Oasis," as previously reported by Spinner.
Although Ashcroft disagrees with his fellow frontman, he believes Gallagher's hyping of his new band is just part of who he is, and explained, "We all talk a little bit like that because we're all imbued with the sporting/boxing promoter way of doing interviews. That's the way we were brought up."

The Coral showcased their new album 'Butterfly House' at London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire last night (July 14) - and were watched by two leading lights of the Manchester music scene.
In fact both a Noel and Liam were in the audience, but not the ones fans might have immediately thought of.
Former Oasis leader Noel Gallagher was in the crowd for the gig, fresh from returning from watching the World Cup final in South Africa, while The Courteeners frontman Liam Fray was also in town for the show.
However, there was a mini-Oasis reunion of sorts - Gem Archer showing up with Gallagher to watch the show.
The Coral showcased a host of tracks from 'Butterfly House', which was released on Monday (July 12).

Starbucks may be the most ubiquitous coffee chain on the high street.
But for these two icons of popular music, a greasy spoon is more than adequate for catching up on each others news.
Oasis star Noel Gallagher, 43, enjoyed a brew with Paul Weller aka The Modfather, 52, at a cafe in West London.
Chilling: Two of the music world's most famous artists, enjoyed a quiet cuppa at a greasy spoon in West London today
Looking like an ordinary pair of middle-aged men, albeit with a penchant for youthful clothes, the pair were seen deep in conversation outside the neighbourhood cafe.
No fancy lattes or double macchiatos for these two, just a couple of cuppas, as they enjoyed a friendly chat.
The millionaire musicians sat outside at the pavement side tables in front of the cafe's windows which were plastered with signs advertising the cafe staple 'All Day Breakfast' at the bargain price of just £4.95.
Weller, amazingly, has managed to stay friends with both Gallagher brothers, despite Noel and Liam's well-publicised fall-out last year which resulted in him leaving the band.
Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller enjoy a cuppa at a cafe in west London
Music icons: Noel and Weller have known each other for 12 years... and the Modfather is also friendly with Noel's estranged brother Liam
Weller has enjoyed a 12-year friendship with the father of two. He is also expecting a third child, his second with wife Sara McDonald.
And he has recently signed on to design clothing for Liam's fashion label Pretty Green.
Noel has said of the former Jam frontman: 'I guess Weller’s my oldest friend... I’ve known him for about 12 years”, said the guitarist.
'There’s an unwritten law that I never go out with Paul Weller, he’s a nightmare.
'He’s hardcore – if you go out with him, if you come home at all, there’s bumps and bruises. There’s been scuffles in the street and you’ve probably fallen out with him.'
Last year Noel quit Oasis after a fight with his brother and lead vocalist of Oasis, Liam Gallagher.
He posted a statement on the band's website that read: 'It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight.
'People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.'
The remaining members of Oasis have formed a band together called Beady Eye.

Class and elegance are not two words we would usually associate with Liam Gallagher, but earlier today the former Oasis frontman had to muster up as much of those two traits as possible (if indeed that even is possible) when he met Crown Princess Mary of Denmark at the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair where he was promoting his clothing label Pretty Green.
Considering Liam tends to swear pretty much every other word, we’re almost certain he must’ve said something vile/crude/offensive/derogatory to Crown Princess Mary at least once during the course of their conversation.
But if he did, Mary certainly didn’t let the surprise show in her face – cos she’s a true pro and that’s what royals do - or so we hear.
P.s. Why are our royals so fug in comparison to the Danes’?

One of our L4e members has started a petition to get Noel Gallagher's TCT performance tapes officially released. Have a look at his website and the statement below to see how you can help out !
This year Noel Gallagher played 2 nights for the Teenage Cancer Trust at The Royal Albert Hall. Proceeds from ticket sales went to the charity, originally founded by Sir Roger Daltry of The Who fame. A full soundboard recording of both audio and video was made on one, if not both of these nights and a few tracks have been made available online, on TV and on athe Radio. What the fans really want is a CD of the complete gig Pro recorded as well as a DVD of the Pro recorded video. So instead of letting these recordings remain unused, why not release them and use the money made by the sales to assist the charity further. Its all for a good cause and will be a great bit of memorabilia for any Noel Gallagher/Oasis fan. Thanks

Fifteen years ago boozers were havens for drinking, flirting and fighting for Liam Gallagher.
How times have changed for the former OASIS frontman.
He spent Saturday at his local in Hampstead, north London, sitting on the Pup Idol panel - having been roped in to judge the dog show by his missus Nicole Appleton.
And Liam lapped up the action, planting kisses on the furry mutts, laughing at the cute doggies while mulling over the pros and cons of the canine contestants.
He's barking mad.

Former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher has donated a signed guitar to raise money for dogs charities.
The former Oasis frontman has given a classic Epiphone Casino guitar adorned with his signature to launch PUP AID 2010 - the UK's first charity boutique music festival and celebrity-judged dog show.
Liam stopped off at the Gibson Guitar Showroom, in London, with wife Nicole Appleton and their Dachshund dog Ruby Tuesday to hand over the instrument to TV vet Marc Abraham.
Marc - who is the resident vet on UK television shows 'This Morning' and 'My Pet Shame' - said: "As a massive Oasis fan I'm honoured Liam and Nicole are involved and helping me to promote dog welfare as well as raising much-needed funds for both rescue and the research into the health and happiness of all dogs."
PUP AID 2010 takes place in Brighton, England, on September 19 and is aiming to raise awareness about the cruel industry of puppy farming.
The guitar will now be taken on a tour of music festivals to gain more signatures from mutt-loving rock stars before being auctioned off at the event.
All money raised from the sale will go to three dog charities - the Dogs Trust, Kennel Club Charitable Trust and the Oldies Club.

Soccer star LIONEL MESSI has invited NOEL GALLAGHER to watch him play in Spain to thank the former OASIS rocker for helping him through the recent World Cup.
The Argentine star, who plays for Spanish team FC Barcelona, is a big fan of the defunct British band and admitted he listened to the group's hits as part of his preparations to play for his country in the South African tournament.
Argentina only made it to the quarter-finals in the recent event, which was won by Spain, but Messi is adamant he wants to thank his hero Gallagher for the part he played in getting his team to the final stages of the soccer showpiece.
He tells Britain's The Sun, "Maybe Noel could give the boys a live set after training and they could see how great Oasis are. At the moment they refuse to listen to anything other than Kasabian.
"We could also go for an Argentinean steak at this great South American restaurant in Barcelona. And if my plan works, it will mean Oasis being played in the world's greatest football club."
