Liam Gallagher extends major olive branch to his brother Noel during Oasis reunion tour – after years of feuding

Liam Gallagher has extended a major olive branch to his older brother Noel on their Oasis reunion tour.

The rocker, 52, reunited with Noel, 58, after 16 years for an epic 41-date world tour, which kicked off with a huge concert at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium with over 70,000 fans in attendance. 

Liam has invited Noel to spend Christmas Day together following their successful tour and finally putting an end to their 15-year feud.

A source told The Sun: ‘Liam wants to make Christmas extra special this year following their hugely successful tour.

‘He is hoping to get all the family together as they take a well-earned rest. Liam and Noel have loved seeing their own kids spend time together during their tour and would love to get everyone around the dinner table.’

Daily Mail has contacted Oasis’ representatives for comment.

Since Oasis formed in 1991, Liam and Noel have caused controversy with their hedonism, iconic showbiz wars and raucous on-stage presence – all prior to their acrimionious split in 2009, which left fans bereft. 

The siblings’ fractious relationship came to a head in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris led to Noel leaving the iconic Britpop band.

Proving their brotherly loving relationship is back on track and better than ever, Noel recently opened up on how he felt on stage during the first Oasis reunion gigs, admitting he ‘grossly underestimated what he was getting into.’

Speaking during his first interview since getting back with Oasis, Noel confessed that whilst his younger brother Liam has been ‘smashing it’, he had ‘jelly legs’ and felt like running backstage to his dressing room within five minutes of the opening show as he underestimated the scale of the event.

Noel told talkSport radio to hosts Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent: ‘I’m completely blown away, everyone is. It’s difficult to put it into words, every night is the crowd’s first night, so every one has that same energy to it.

‘It’s been truly amazing, I’m not usually short for words, but I can’t really articulate it at the moment. For me personally, I grossly underestimated what I was getting into.’

He went on: ‘After about five minutes, I was thinking can we just go back to the dressing room and start this again.

‘This is…I’ve done stadiums before, but my legs turned to jelly about halfway through the second song and I could have done with going back and taking a minute. It’s been an amazing thing, it really is an amazing thing.’

Meanwhile, the Don’t Look Back In Anger hitmaker told how ‘proud’ he was of brother Liam and forgot how ‘funny’ he was after having buried their years-long feud. 

When asked if he’d been feeling emotional on tour amid the sibling’s show of unity, Noel responded: ‘We’re not those kind of guys, it’s great just be back with Bonehead and Liam and doing it again. I guess when it’s all said and done, we’ll sit and reflect on it, but it’s great being back in a band with Liam.

‘I forgot how funny he was.’

He added of his brother: ‘Liam’s smashing it and I’m proud of him.

‘Having been fronting a band for 16 years, I know how difficult that is and I couldn’t do the stadium thing like he does it, it’s not in my nature.

‘I’ve got to say, I kind of look at him and go: “Good for you, mate”. He’s been amazing.”

Having played Dublin’s Croke Park last week, Oasis will take their monumental gigs to North America before returning to the UK for dates at Wembley.

They will then continue the tour with gigs in South East Asia, Australia and South America.

And during the interview, Noel told how he’s most looking forward to playing at Argentina’s River Plate stadium as the venue is a ‘special, special place’ for the band. 

He explained: ‘The River Plate stadium in Buenos Aires in November. It’s the second last show and we’ve played there a couple of times.

‘The Argentinians are without doubt in the top five places for us to play in the world and it’s the furthest away from Ireland and Manchester.

‘Everybody is looking forward to River Plate because it’s a special, special, special place for us.’

Noel’s words comes amid reports he has been inspired during the Oasis tour and has written a number of new songs for a potential Oasis album

An insider has told The Mirror: ‘Noel has been inspired by playing to adoring crowds, who have supercharged his creativity. But he is undecided whether his work will become a new album for Oasis with Liam on vocals.’

Noel is said to be ‘waiting to see how things play out’ on tour but so far is said to be in a ‘fine mood’. 

But the source revealed: ‘Noel has been in an absolutely fine mood. He’s also been strumming some new tunes in his dressing room. But, from what he has said, these tracks are not yet aligned for any project.

‘There is no Oasis studio return as yet agreed by the band, and they still have a long way to go. Things are great now, but who knows what will happen given the brothers’ past troubles on the road.’
