Ever since Oasis went supernova and split up backstage in Paris in August 2009 both brothers have been particularly vociferous in their mutual contempt for each other. Both embarking on their post-Oasis careers with a respectable amount of credibility, it seemed that the duo were used to living without each other in their lives - or so we were led to believe. In fact, I sat down with Noel in June of 2012 and the subject of his brother came up. Noel revealed that the extent of their relationship at that point was a Christmas text message to each other and little else. That's why the news that the pair have not only patched up their differences but are potentially going into business together has come as a bit of a surprise.
The pair recently met up at a family wedding in Ireland and buried the hatchet and are now even planning to open a bar together with their mother Peggy. They allegedky plan to call their bar 'Champagne Supernova' after the Oasis anthem - which was included on the band's seminal album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' - of the same name and hope to finalise their deal at an underground venue close to the Deansgate and Spinningfields area of Manchester.
While the business move doesn't mean Oasis will be getting back together, the group's original guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs - who left the band in 1999 - recently predicted a musical reunion will happen eventually.
He said: 'If someone said, 'Here's a field, here's a stage and here's 200,000 people,' I'm sure Liam would jump up and do it, and I don't think it would even take anyone offering him a massive bankroll of money. He'd do it because that's what he loves, that's his passion.'
Since the super-group disbanded Liam, 41, started new band Beady Eye, while 46-year-old Noel has embarked on his own solo project, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
