It's understood the brothers buried the hatchet during a late night phone call to embark on a £50million reunion tour. Today's announcement comes before tracks from the first recording session for Oasis's debut album Definitely Maybe are released on Friday, marking its 30-year anniversary. Unheard versions of songs including Live Forever, Cigarettes & Alcohol and Rock 'N' Roll Star were taken from their first recording session as a signed band, at Monnow Valley Studio in Rockfield, Monmouthshire.
The recordings were scrapped before the band re-recorded the album at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall. Fans of the Manchester rock band have pleaded with the brothers to regroup since they disbanded in 2009, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Their last concert together was at V Festival at Weston Park, Staffordshire, in August 2009.
Days later, they cancelled the headline gig at the Rock en Seine festival following the argument. Noel explained at the time: '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.
