Liam and Noel Gallagher in high spirits back at work together for the first time
Noel and Liam Gallagher appeared in high spirits as they were pictured together for the first time since announcing Oasis' reunion.
The famously feuding brothers seemingly put their beef aside last year to announce the band would be going on tour, with tickets selling out lightning fast.
Fans who managed to nab themselves a golden ticket, however, have rightfully been worried the harmony between Noel, 57, and Liam, 52, would not last after their backstage clashing led to the band's split in 2009.
But they appeared far from coming to blows as they were snapped back at work together for the first time in more than a decade, arriving at a working men's club in Newington Green, London.
Liam donned blue trousers and a khaki coloured parka for the occasion, smiling and throwing his arms around an unknown man while outside the venue.
Noel, meanwhile, wore blue denim jeans and an eye-catching blue bomber jacket, and was pictured exiting a black car at the club.
The music icons were there to film promotional material for their upcoming tour as well as shoot scenes for a new Adidas campaign.
It comes after the brothers engaged in an important family reunion, which saw Liam meet his nephews, Noel's children, Donovan, 18, and Sonny, 14.
Liam wrote on social media: 'So we had a BIBLICAL Easter Sunday Noel Donavan and Sonny popped over to ours for a cup of tea it was absolutely incredible to meet the young guvs.
'Obviously blew there minds coz im cool as f**k you heard it here 1st LG x.'
Reportedly, tensions between the brothers eased to allow for their reunion tour following Noel's split from his ex-wife, Sara, who Liam had a difficult relationship.
Oasis' reunion tour is mere months away, and there are still plenty of details we're still not sure about.
Last month, Liam took to social media to seemingly 'confirm' the band lineup for the shows, but one key member seemed to be missing.
'Tony Mc drums Alan white bass guitar Zak lead guitar Chris Sharrock keys,' he wrote on X, omitting Oasis legend Paul Arthurs, affectionately known as Bonehead who a source previously confirmed would be returning.

'That's a BANGING line up,' wrote the Cigarettes and Alcohol hitmaker before saying he was heading for a nap because people were 'exhausting'. More Trending
A fan replied asking: 'So — Three guitarists? Noel, Gem, Bonehead ??' to which Liam reiterated: 'Noel n Zak cmon keep up.'
But with Liam's chaotic social media presence, and the fact most of these musicians are drummers, fans have doubted the validity of the announcement.
Oasis split in 2009 after a backstage fallout between the brothers, which was preceded by countless instances of them taking aim at each other both on stage and off.
Noel notoriously said Liam was 'like a man with a fork in a world of soup', one of many digs the duo exchanged over the years.

Race Across The World 2025 winners revealed after nail-biting final dash
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The winners of BBC One's Race Across the World 2025 have been revealed following a thrilling conclusion. After travelling thousands of kilometres across China, Nepal and India, one pair claimed the £20,000 prize after reaching the final checkpoint in Kanniyakumari. The final leg was the closest the teams had been in 51 days, with just 19 minutes separating first and second place. However, for the first time in the show's history, a mother and son pairing have won after Caroline and Tom were declared winners following the 14,100km race across the world's largest continent, Asia. Sprinting to the finish line, sisters Elizabeth and Letitia, who have remained consistent throughout the race, came in second place. They were followed by teenage couple Fin and Sioned, while brothers Brian and Melvyn, came in fourth. It was a race to find a boat towards the fishing village of Arockiapuram and there, find the Vattakottai Fort where the last and final sign in book was waiting. As Caroline and Tom turned to the page to discover they had reached the final checkpoint in first place, they hugged, overcome with emotion. An emotional Caroline cried: 'We must never doubt ourselves again. Ever, ever, ever.' Writing their names in the book, Tom said: 'That's a really good feeling, I'm lost for words, I can't believe it. 51 days racing through countries I never thought I'd go to, I never thought we'd come this far, I never thought we'd achieve so much and I've never been prouder of my mum – she got me through it.' As sisters Elizabeth and Letitia turned the page to claim second place, Elizabeth said: 'Ah Tom and Caroline, so close, 19 minutes,' with Letitia adding: 'I'm proud of us.' Just 45 minutes behind the winners, Fin and Sioned arrived in third place. Fin said: 'We've done well.' He added: 'It would have been incredible to have come first, but obviously we can't all come first.. we've gone more than 12000km…' Sioned continued: 'It's been more than just the distance, it's been a journey for us.' Brian and Melvyn, who arrived in fourth place, only 3 hours and 5 minutes behind race winners, said: 'We've done very well actually. Really pleased for the guys that have won it. Beer? Desperately, and definitely!' The final episode saw Caroline and Tom began the last leg in the lead, 6 hours and 54 minutes ahead of Elizabeth and Letitia. They started from the 7th checkpoint, Panaji in Goa with just over 1000km to traverse across the southern Indian states to reach the finish line at the southernmost tip of India in Kanniyakumari. Arriving into Kanniyakumari by taxi, Tom said how nervous he was, and worried more when he exclaimed: 'I've just seen Fin and Sioned, I promise you, I have, oh no.' Getting caught in a traffic jam, Caroline and Tom were visibly despondent. Receiving their first instructions to reach the tip of India, Caroline and Tom raced through huge crowds of people trying to watch the incredible sunrise but with little time to appreciate the stunning views: 'It's a nice sunrise, bit hard to focus on, but it's nice.' Hot on Caroline and Tom's heels, Elizabeth and Letitia received the next instructions to proceed on foot to the front of Our Lady of Ransom Shrine. Not hesitating to ask multiple people for help, the teams made their way and discovered they must then take a boat to Arockiapuram fishing village. Caroline and Tom secured a boat for 1000 rupees, stressing that they were in a race and the need for speed to their driver. Still worried about having seen Fin and Sioned, Tom said: 'I still can't see Fin and Sioned, I don't know if they can see us.' The teams received a message instructing them to head on foot to the Vattakottai Fort. Running through the winding streets, trying to find the beach, Tom said: 'It's so far out of the way.' On reaching the entrance to the Fort, Caroline and Tom ran in with Caroline asking 'Can you see anyone else, Thomas?' and Tom replying; 'I don't see anyone.' The pair reached the book and discovered they had won the race of a lifetime and a prize of £20,000. Over the eight-part series, the four pairs have raced over 14,000km over 51 days. More Trending The teams have successfully journeyed across the world's largest continent, Asia, taking in three of its most diverse and fascinating nations – China, Nepal and India. They've had to navigate crowds, congestion and cultural barriers, as well as a multitude of vast ranging landscapes on an epic journey from The Great Wall of China in northeastern China all the way to the southernmost tip of India – Kanniyakumari – all without smartphones, internet access and bank cards, and armed only with the cash equivalent of flying the route. Following the final episode of Race Across the World, the teams will return for a heart-warming reunion celebration, which airs at 9pm on Wednesday 18th June on BBC One.

Liam Gallagher has just one regret as he prepares for first Oasis comeback show
Ahead of Oasis taking to the stage in Cardiff next month, Liam Gallagher has taken to social media and revealed that he has just one regret about the legendary band Liam Gallagher has revealed his one major regret about Oasis just weeks before the band hit the road. The legendary Manchester-based band will be on s tage together for the first time in 16 years next month for their mammoth Oasis Live '25 tour. Brothers Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, had been at loggerheads ever since the band split in 2009 and were often embroiled in tense feuds on social media and in interviews. But years before their split, an internal war is believed to have broken out between the warring siblings. Liam is said to have questioned the paternity of Noel's eldest daughter, Anaïs, 25, in May 2000. But after almost two decades of arguing, the brothers left fans in a state of disbelief last year when they announced their sensational return, almost 15 years to the day of their split. In just a matter of weeks, they will take to the stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4 for their first show. However, Liam has now opened up about his one major regret about the band in an honest admission with a fan. "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times?" asked one fan on X, formerly known as Twitter. Liam responded: "You know what it's spiritual but I can't help think about all those wasted years, what a waste of PRECIOUS time." Oasis came to an end in 2009 following a disagreement between Liam and Noel backstage at the Rock en Seine Festival in Paris. A witness who saw them row said: "Liam was goading Noel constantly and then the two snapped." Liam also smashed up one of Noel's guitars during the heated clash. The pair are due to perform over 20 dates starting on July 4, before completing the UK leg on September 28 at Wembley Stadium. But could fans see the once-warring brothers again after their upcoming tour? Replying to a fan last week, Liam said: "Let's see how this tour goes and if we still love each other after it." When asked by the Mirror how rehearsals are going, Liam told us: "Dangerous." Meanwhile, videos have circulated on social media, with audio clips of the band apparently rehearsing the anthems Cigarettes & Alcohol and Fade Away. He told fans that it was his idea to have both songs on the setlist for the most anticipated tour. Last week, the two brothers were seen heading to rehearsals for the first time. While the pair arrived separately, they had two very different methods of transport to the top-secret location. Liam was seen arriving in a chauffeur-driven van, surrounded by packets of Lockets and cough syrup to help his throat, while his older brother, Noel, took public transport and was seen on the District Line at Paddington station. A source told the Mirror: "It was extremely exciting having Noel and Liam in the same room. The excitement for the tour is off the charts." Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

It starts with Richard and Judy and ends at 9pm. We might as well put a fing spike in you.' Zak won't be part of the Oasis reunion, saying he texted them asking why he hadn't made the cut and was 'gutted' to learn they had Joey Warnoker in on the sticks instead. 'I don't know anything about Joey, apart from he's not a mod,' Zak says with a laugh. Advertisement 'I think they will get through it without falling out. I will be wishing I was up there.

Zak says he may be back in the fold again as the band prepare for a major tour in the US. He adds with a wry smile: 'I spoke to Roger last week and he said, 'Don't take the drums out of the warehouse yet, in case we need you'. There's no grudge, it's fing music. In the beginning, they were the maddest band. 'Pete is incredibly intimidating. He called me a ct and gobbed on my drum riser. That was very early on.' Advertisement Asked what his dad, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, made of his dismissal, Zak adds: 'I spoke to my dad about it and he watched it and stuck up for me. But he's my dad, isn't he? 'He wasn't happy. He saw the show on TV and was a bit like, 'What the f?'. 'He didn't think anything was a sackable offence. Apart from the ticket price.' As the son of a Beatle, I ask what guidance Ringo gave him over the years. 'My dad never opened the doors for me,' Zak says. 'Mad pop single' 'He'd watch me and say the most cutting fing st.

'I know he loves it, but that's what you're going to get from him. "But I'd say to him, 'Why does the Abbey Road remix sound like Supertramp?'. 'He was like, 'The drum sounds good'. I said, 'It's not about the drums, Dad. I learned that when I was 19'. 'But he is the greatest rock 'n' roll drummer in the world. He's better now than he was then.' With Oasis off limits and The Who dates still up in the air, Zak is busying himself with finishing the 14 tracks Mantra have created — with Happy Mondays' Shaun Ryder and Bez and Oasis bass player Andy Bell.

'It's a mad pop single and I'm hoping to have a demographic of four to 60.' Looking back at his career, I ask Zak if he ever takes a moment to pinch himself. 'All of my dreams have come true,' he says. 'Who's on the phone? Oh, it's Oasis. Oh, Johnny Marr, the greatest British guitarist, is on the phone.' With a glint in his eye, Zak adds: 'Look, when I was 12 and I was playing in clubs, I didn't realise I was going to turn out like f*ing David Beckham. Advertisement 'What can I say?'

Advertisement I told last month that an unreleased track called Falling For You Girl, recorded by all five members, above, had been unearthed and the team behind it were hoping to get it out. Now Ian has said Robbie was given the lead vocals on the song, which caused a row with bandmate Gary. Recalling their sessions in 1992, he said: 'The reason Gary hated me is because Robbie was mucking around in the studio when we were doing I Found Heaven. 'I said, 'Robbie, you've got a really nice voice, you sound like one of the Bee Gees', and he said, 'Don't be silly, I'm a backing singer'. Advertisement 'I said, 'No, I want to make you a lead singer'. 'But Gary didn't like it and he went crying to manager Nigel Martin-Smith going, 'I'm the lead singer! I don't want to be stuck with one of the others'. 'I insisted, and Falling For You Girl is almost all Robbie.' Now Ian, who also worked on A Million Love Songs and Could It Be Magic, hopes the song will finally see the light of day. Advertisement He added: 'The only way it'll get released is if the fans encourage the boys to put it out. It's fantastic.' SABRINA CARPENTER will drop a new album called Man's Best Friend on August 29. She announced the record last night and it comes just ten months after her smash Short n' Sweet, which returned to No1 for a fifth time last month. The album will feature her new single Manchild, which is on course to go to No1 this Friday, and comes ahead of two shows at BST Hyde Park in London on July 5 and 6.

Just in time for summer, Town on Drury Lane, in Covent Garden, central London, has become the go-to place. It's thanks to the menu from acclaimed British chef Stevie Parle, along with fancy cocktails. I'm told Gary Lineker is even a fan.
