Anais Gallagher orchestrated Oasis reunion?
Anais Gallagher orchestrated the Oasis reunion.
The 25-year-old model – whose parents are Oasis' Noel Gallagher and his first wife Meg Matthews – reportedly decided to help her father reconcile with his estranged brother and bandmate Liam after Noel's second marriage to Sara MacDonald ended.
A source told The Sun: 'Anais was one of the biggest sources of comfort and support for Noel following his divorce.
'Over the years, Noel had offered an olive branch to Liam, but he'd never taken it up.
'Anais could tell her dad really wanted both his brothers, Liam and Paul, by his side after the split so was determined to get them back in touch.
'She gets on great with Liam's sons Gene and Lennon so she asked them if their dad would be willing to hear her out.
'They said they thought he would be receptive, so she then asked Liam to reach out to his brother to lend support.
'Liam's always wanted Oasis back together so he got in touch.'
Oasis split in 2009, when Noel left the band over a backstage fight at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
He said in a statement at the time: 'People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.'
However, the Gallagher siblings thrilled fans last year, when they announced Oasis' comeback after 15 years.
They wrote on X: 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."
Oasis will kick off their world tour in Cardiff, Wales, in June.

British Airways flight attendant found dancing naked in business class
A British Airways flight attendant has reportedly been found dancing naked mid-flight. The hostie, 41, was meant to be serving drinks and meals to passengers, instead, after a search, colleagues found him completely naked and jumping up and down in one of the plane's business class toilets. Clearly unable to continue his shift, the man was given a pair of pyjamas to change into before being seated in a first class seat and strapped in for the remainder of the 10 hour flight headed to London from San Francisco, The Sun reports. There were around 470 passengers and crew on board the packed double-decker Airbus A380 at the time. 'We think the guy popped pills when he was meant to be working. It is an extraordinary thing to do,' one co-worker told The Sun. 'The plane was cruising at 37,000ft over the Atlantic, but this bloke seemed to be higher than anyone else. 'Rather than asking passengers 'chicken or beef', he was stripping off and dancing in the toilet. It was a long time before he was located and he was completely out of it. 'Not only is it really dangerous, it is a crazy way to end your BA career. This job can do ridiculous things to people, but staging a one-man disco in a Club World toilet is a new one on me.' On landing, the man, who disembarked in a wheelchair, was given medical attention and arrested by police on suspicion of being unfit for duty. The incident is being investigated and the flight attendant has been suspended.

AJ McLean teases Liam Payne's unique final project Building the Band
AJ McLean says that Liam Payne's final project 'Building the Band' is "unlike anything you have ever seen before". The Backstreet Boys singer unveiled a first look at the new Netflix series - which was the late One Direction singer's last TV work before his tragic death aged 31 last October after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina - at the streamer's Tudum event on Saturday (31.05.25) and promised viewers that the show is unique. AJ, 47, said: "Today's most talented singers in the world will audition for each other and choose their own bandmates before ever seeing them. "Our judge and mentor Nicole Scherzinger, and guest judges Kelly Rowland and the late Liam Payne, are from some of the biggest bands of all time. This show is all about one word: chemistry. And believe me: in a band, you really need some good chemistry." 'Building the Band' was given the go ahead to air on Netflix earlier this year after officials at the streaming giant consulted with Liam's grieving relatives, although it is claimed that his loved ones were "surprised" by the announcement. A source told The Sun newspaper: "They spoke with Liam's family as they didn't want to progress the project without taking their feelings into consideration. "The family got the sense that this was a celebration of Liam, an image of positivity. He was doing what he did best as a true boyband star. "But they hadn't given it a final stamp of approval and as far as they were concerned were still discussing what the show would look like. So they were surprised by the announcement." Liam had completed filming for the series - which features singers looking to build a band despite being kept in separate booths so they can't see each other - several months before his death. A synopsis of the series explains: "All they [the contestants] have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit ... with incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal - to find the next great music band - the stage is set for an unforgettable experience."
