Noel Gallagher says brother Liam is ‘smashing it'
Noel Gallagher has dished out rare praise for his brother Liam, saying he is 'smashing it' on Oasis' reunion tour. The siblings have had a famously acrimonious relationship since their band dramatically split in 2009. But now, in an interview with UK radio station TalkSport on Tuesday, the Oasis songwriter and lead guitarist expressed his admiration for his younger brother. 'Liam's smashing it,' Gallagher said of his brother's performances as lead singer during the reunion tour so far. 'I'm proud of him.' The brothers have publicly traded barbs in the 16 years since Oasis' breakup, with their spat regularly making headlines around the world. In an interview with The Guardian in 2019, Noel accused his brother of making 'unsophisticated music' and said 'I can't stand his voice.' Those comments came two years after Liam said of him in the same newspaper: 'When I think about it, being in a band with him bores the death out of me.' So it was big news when the band announced last year that they were getting back together. They kicked off a 19-date tour of the UK and Ireland in Cardiff, Wales on July 4. They are due to play their first North American date in Toronto on Sunday, before heading to other cities in North and South America, Asia and Australia, with a finale in São Paulo on November 23. The Gallagher brothers were pictured hand in hand at the end of their opening night in the Welsh capital last month. Just how emotional was that moment?, the TalkSport interviewer asked Gallagher. 'We're not those kind of guys really,' said the singer-songwriter, who set up his own band, 'High Flying Birds,' following Oasis' split. Nevertheless, he went on to tell the hosts that he was pleased to be back on stage with his original band, which started in Manchester in 1991. They went on to become one of the biggest groups of the 1990s, hitting the number one spot in the UK with eight of their albums. 'It's great just to be back with Bonehead and Liam and you know, just be 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 the band with Liam — I forgot how funny he was,' he said. And that was not the only compliment he paid his little brother. 'I've been fronting a band for 16 years, I know how difficult that is,' he said. 'I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it. It's not in my nature but I've got to say, man, I look around and I think good for you, mate. He's been amazing.'

The Jonas Brothers' Kids: All About Nick, Kevin, & Joe's Families
The Jonas Brothers are celebrating 20 years as a professional band in 2025, and they aren't slowing down even a little bit. They just kicked off their Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour and are the inaugural guests on Songs & Stories with Kelly Clarkson, a new four-episode-long NBC special hosted by Clarkson in which she sings and has candid discussions with popular artists about their careers. RELATED: Joe, Nick, and Kevin Jonas have been around the career block, both as a band and solo artists. They've toured the globe multiple times, released seven albums as the Jonas Brothers, and have appeared as themselves in countless film and television projects. (Nick also acts!) Even with their multitude of pursuits, in 2025, it's safe to say they're all firmly committed to their parenting chapters too, as each brother has officially added 'dad' to their list of responsibilities. Read more about the Jonas Brothers' families, below: Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra In December 2018, Nick married actress Priyanka Chopra at the Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur. And since then, professionally, the pair collaborate regularly on projects as producers and performers. However, their greatest collaboration came in 2022 with the birth of their daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas via surrogate. In a recent episode of Mythic Kitchen with the three brothers, Nick told host Chef Josh Scherer that having a child has made him more focused on building something his daughter will be proud of. RELATED: 'You're met with this reality that this little human being will depend on you at least until they're 18, hopefully, for the rest of their life. And that responsibility is a profound thing,' he explained. 'Prior to that, I think I was just focused on sort of benchmarks of success, or perceived benchmarks of success. And now I have a more tangible thing to base my decision-making off of. And everything is better too once you are doing it for that reason and you get to experience life again through the eyes of a child." Joe Jonas Joe Jonas shares two daughters with ex Sophie Turner, Willa and Delphine. On the Jonas Brothers episode of Amy Poehler's podcast Good Hang, Joe said he's gotten to really understand how hard his own mom had it parenting four boys. 'Boys are so different than girls,' he said. 'I'll watch my kids on the playground and it's, like, delicate. And then this kid will be like, 'Ahh!' And dive off the top of the slide. And you're just like, 'That is a boy.'" Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa This December, Kevin and Danielle celebrate 16 years of marriage. Kevin was the first of the trio to tie the knot. They have put down roots in the Jonas' birth state of New Jersey, where they live with their two young daughters, Alena Rose and Valentina Angelina. Kevin was also the first of the brothers to become a dad. He and Danielle have released two children's books together, There's a Rock Concert in My Bedroom and There's a Beach in My Bedroom; the former was inspired by their daughters. "Now our daughters, Alena and Valentina, enrich our lives in ways we could have never anticipated," Kevin told People in September 2021. "The love and care they show each other on a daily basis inspired this story and we are so proud to share how these girls not only uplift us and each other, but are creative, caring rock stars in their own right." Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson premieres August 19 at 10/9c on NBC. Subsequent one-hour episodes air August 26, September 2, and September 9 on NBC. All four episodes will be available to stream on Peacock the day after they air. Solve the daily Crossword
