Oasis fans were sent into a spin as the very first backstage snap of the Gallagher brothers together on tour was revealed.
Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, are reportedly ‘kept apart’ in ‘military style operation’ when not on stage.
But a picture which surfaced on Reddit on Monday suggests that may not be the case.
The brothers were seen backstage at one of their epic reunion gigs with two young fans, and both Liam and Noel looked relatively happy to be there.
Posing with two of their young fans, Liam was seen cheering and punching the air while Noel adopted a more muted expression.
Fans went wild over the snap, the first one seen of the pair together off-stage, with some even asking if it was photoshopped.

They commented: ‘2 years ago I probably would have said this was photoshopped. I just did not think this would happen,’;
‘Never thought I’d see a picture of Noel and Liam where they are more excited than anyone else in it. Good news- things on tour are going well,’;
‘Those lucky lads, im happy they met their heroes,’; ‘Why do they still pose the same way it’s adorable
‘A year ago, someone would have called this AI.’
Liam and Noel’s mum Peggy is reportedly keeping her once feuding sons in check amid their Oasis reunion tour, it was recently revealed.
The pair are reportedly kept apart, but now their beloved mother, 81, is also on hand to help avoid a bust up.
The warring siblings’ fractious relationship came to a head in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris led to Noel leaving the iconic Britpop band and they have been embroiled in a very public feud ever since.
But Liam is said to be ‘loving’ spending time with his mum, to whom he is very close, and her presence is helping him ‘keep his head down’ and stay in the ‘best mindset’.

Proud Peggy is also reportedly ecstatic ahead of all her sons on stage at Wembley next week, with eldest Paul, 59, performing a DJ set ahead of the main show.
A source told The Sun: ‘Liam is incredibly close to Peggy and has loved spending time with her during the tour. [She] has always stayed out of their disagreements and just wants the best for her sons.’
‘Liam has been keeping his head down and concentrating on the tour. His main priority is staying in the best mindset possible.’
MailOnline contacted Oasis’ reps for comment at the time.
But despite managing to put their difference aside to get back on stage, they have reportedly required separate dressing rooms and transport to avoid a clash and resulting ‘PR and financial nightmare’.
A source told The Mirror: ‘They will not be in each other’s pockets and effectively be separate entities that come together for necessary promotional work and the gigs. Other than that they will be apart for much of this reunion.
‘Rehearsals will be the first time that they will be together for a significant amount of time working again. The atmosphere is sure to be electric, but also a little edgy.’
In 2019, Peggy told her youngest son Liam that he was going to bury the hatchet with his brother the following year, firmly declaring: ‘And that’s it.’

Since Oasis’ split in 2009, Peggy is said to have continually urged her sons to put aside their differences – telling Noel and Liam that putting an end to their feud would have been the ‘best 80th birthday present’.
Earlier this month Liam and Noel’s estranged father hit out at his sons by saying they ‘don’t know f***ing music’.
Irish-born Thomas Augustin Gallagher hasn’t seen the Oasis duo for years, who’ve never forgiven him for how they treated their mother when they were boys.
Since the duo reunited a video has come to light of Thomas – who goes by Tommy – dismissing his sons’ illustrious career.
In the 2018 video, TikToker Jack Burke was filming in Manchester when Tommy walked past and intervened, saying: ‘Have you heard of the band Oasis? I’m their father. Noel and Liam Gallagher.’
When Jack asked for his name, he said: ‘Thomas Augustus Gallagher’ – pulling his passport out of his pocket to show to Jack.
As Jack walks off, Tommy retorts: ‘[Them] guys talking about music, they wouldn’t f***ing know music if it f***ing bit them.’
