Oasis reunion? Band to make announcement at 9am after cryptic Facebook post

Oasis have kicked the reunion rumour mill back into gear after posting a teaser on Facebook and Instagram simply stating a date, '26 Feb', and a time, '9am'.
The post was met with cries of "Please let this be a reunion!" from fans, though the one saying "If it's just a 'remastered album' we riot" is probably closer to the truth.

The six-second video consisting of a montage of shots of the band, was followed up by a perhaps qualifying picture of a Definitely Maybe vinyl, suggesting we are to see a re-issue of the band's classic album to mark its 20th anniversary, possibly with new material.

Stranger things have happened than a new tour though, with hip hop duo Outkast reforming earlier this year in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album, Southernplaylistcadillacmuzik.

Frontman Liam Gallagher, who has recently been busy touring with his band Beady Eye, previously hinted at a reunion saying Oasis had "unfinished business" and suggesting they could "bury the hatchet for a quick lap of honour", though his brother Noel has always been more sceptical.

Reformation rumours were strengthened by the news that Beady Eye have been removed from the Coachella line-up though, supposedly paving the way for Oasis.

We'll be back with the announcement at 9am. For now here's the words of one ardent fan on Facebook: "Please let this be a reunion I'd eat my own sh*t, sell my mum and dump my bird for this.

AC Milan have released a statement to deny speculation that Italy striker Mario Balotelli could leave in January.

Al-Jazeera demands Egypt release four journalists

  Qatar-based broadcaster Al-Jazeera has demanded the release of four of its journalists seized by Egyptian police in Cairo at the weekend. They include its Cairo bureau chief Mohamed Fadel Fahmy and former BBC correspondent Peter Greste. The journalists had held illegal meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood, the interior ministry said. Al-Jazeera said it had been "subject to harassment" although not officially banned from working in Egypt. There has been a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood since the army ousted President Mohammed Morsi in July. Last week it was declared a terrorist group. In the past six months, more than 1,000 pro-Morsi protesters have been killed in clashes with security forces, and thousands of Brotherhood supporters have been arrested, including the majority of its leadership. A court will hear a case to disband the Brotherhood's political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), on 15 February. 'Arbitrary' The four journ...
