Manchester’s Heaton Park and London’s Wembley Stadium have been touted as venues for the massive concerts. Most read in Showbiz Rumours have been rife in recent days about the reunion. Liam helped drive speculation this morning when he tweeted: “I never did like that word FORMER.
” When one user on social media replied to an article about the rumoured location saying “Heaton Park [is] terrible for concert venues”, Liam replied: “See you down the front you big fanny.” Noel raised eyebrows last week when he shared rare praise of Liam in a new interview ahead of the 30th anniversary of their album Definitely Maybe , taking place this Friday. He said: “I can’t sing Slide Away and Cigarettes & Alcohol and Rock ‘N’ Roll Star and Columbia and all that.
“I mean, I can do it but it’s not the same. It’s the delivery or the tone of his voice and the attitude. I don’t have the same attitude as him.
” He added: “When I would sing a song it would sound good, when he would sing it, it would sound great.” After forming in 1991, Oasis enjoyed a very successful career throughout the nineties with multi-platinum selling albums and sell out gigs and tours. By Joanne Kavanagh IT'S one of the most famous family feuds in music history - the fallout of Liam and Noel Gallagher.
September 1994 - Noel temporally quit Oasis after Liam threw a tambourine at his brother. Summer 1995 - While recording (What’s The Story) Morning Glory in Wales, Liam brought a group of people back to the studio while Noel was trying to work - he responded by reportedly hitting his brother over the head with a cricket bat. August 1996 - Liam pulled out of their MTV Unplugged gig, leaving Noel to take the lead - Liam then watched from the audience and heckled his brother.
Liam also failed to join them on their American tour. May 2000 - After another fight in Spain in which Liam questioned the legitimacy of Noel’s daughter Anais, Noel left the band for the second time. Although he returned, he didn't complete the last leg of their European tour.
June 2005 - At the Heineken Jammin’ Festival in Italy, Liam left the stage during Champagne Supernova. In an interview with Spin magazine Noel said of his brother: “I’ve kind of learnt that instead of arguing stuff out with him and ending up in a fight, I work on his psychology and he’s completely freaked out by me now, He’s actually frightened to death of me.” April 2009 - In an interview with Q magazine, Noel made his notorious comment about Liam: "He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup.
” August 2009 - Oasis were due to play at V Festival, but cancelled at the last minute as Liam reportedly had laryngitis. Noel claimed his brother was “hungover”, which later led Liam to take legal action. Noel apologised and the lawsuit was dropped.
Late August 2009 - the big Oasis split. As the band prepared to go onstage at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris, an argument broke out, with Liam wielding Noel’s guitar around “like an axe”. The show was cancelled, along with the rest of the tour and Noel issued a statement: “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.” July 2011 - Noel announced the release of the first, self titled album by his High Flying Birds. Liam’s response was “SHITBAG”.
November 2015 - Following the news that Half The World Away was to be used in the Christmas John Lewis advert, Liam apparently calls his brother a “sell out”. But Liam’s camp issued a statement saying he said no such thing. June 2017 - Following the Manchester terror attack that saw 22 people killed, Liam slated Noel for not attending the tribute concert at Old Trafford.
Noel’s camp responded by saying he was out of the country and had donated proceeds from Don’t Look Back In Anger to the fund for victims of the atrocity. But Liam and Noel had a fractured relationship and their rows became legendary. Then, in 2009, as they were about to headline the V Festival, they had a massive altercation backstage and Noel declared he was leaving.
He then went on to form High Flying Birds and Liam created his own band, Beady Eye. Back in 2017 Liam hinted he had reconciled with his brother, bringing to an end a near-decade-long feud, and the possibility of a reunion. He tweeted: "I wanna say Happy Xmas to team NG it's been a great year thanks for everything looking forward to seeing you tomorrow AS YOU WERE LG x" When fans became over-excited at the prospect of a Britpop reunion, Liam answered them.
To a fan who wrote: "Team who? You're not going to have a meltdown on here come Christmas day are you Liam when NG doesn't reach out to you?" Liam replied: "He's already reached out." However Noel previously said he would never reform after trolls attacked his family online .
