Liam Gallagher sheds bad boy vibe for quality time with mum during Oasis tour
Oasis star Liam Gallagher has been spending quality time with his mum Peggy amid his Oasis tour with Noel Gallagher Liam Gallagher has been spending much-needed time with mum Peggy during his Oasis reunion tour with brother Noel Gallagher. The 52-year-old singer was full rock and roll during the Nineties but swapped it for a more wholesome vibe with the highly anticipated reunion tour. The famous brothers made up to reform Oasis after being locked in a tense feud for 16 years, much to the delight of eager fans. The group started off their string of gigs in Cardiff before moving on to Heaton Park in Manchester. And now, they're prepping for a number of sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium in London. While on tour, Liam has been spending some quality time with his mum, Peggy, who is excited to see her sons on stage. Her other son, Paul Gallagher, will also be doing a DJ set before Oasis takes to the stage. "Liam is incredibly close to Peggy and has loved spending time with her during the tour," a source recently said to The Sun. 'She is really looking forward to seeing all three of her boys on stage at Wembley." The source went on to say Liam has been 'putting his head down' and 'focusing on the tour'. The Mirror have contacted Oasis' reps for comment. It comes after Peggy was forced to miss their gigs at Heaton Park. She previously spoken about planning to see them on the Oasis Live 25 tour and still lives in Manchester, where she brought up her three sons in Burnage. The Mirror understood that she couldn't see them at Heaton Park due issues with her health and Heaton Park being a standing venue. An Oasis source said at the time: 'Peggy is really keen to go and see Oasis again and couldn't be more proud reading about the shows in Cardiff and Manchester. "But her health comes first and Liam and Noel want her to be comfortable if she does come to see the band. She had a recent knee operation so needs a comfortable spot if she is going to go to one of the shows and be there for a few hours. 'They'll both be spending time with her whilst they are in Manchester but they'll hold off getting her to a show. 'Somewhere like Dublin or Wembley is a more likely venue where she can be treated like a queen with any food she wants and there is better access and transport options.' After the Manchester gigs, the band will play Wembley as well as dates in Edinburgh and Croke Park in Dublin. The band will then embark on a world tour.

Secret weapon to keep Oasis brothers on track revealed
A new book details the rise, fall and resurrection of the British rock band. Promoters have enlisted a secret weapon to keep Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher from knuckling on during their reunion tour. The ultra-fiery, musically gifted pair have embarked on the much-anticipated world tour, but speculation has been rife since dates were confirmed about how long it would be before the two fell out. As insurance against any issues that may derail the string of gigs the Gallaghers' 81-year-old mum, Peggy, has stepped into keep a watchful eye over her sons and douse any summering tensions that may arise. The Daily Mail reports that Peggy is reportedly keeping Liam,, 52, and Noel, 58, in check as part of a 'military style operation' when they are not on stage. After a violent end to their last tour culminated in a back stage fight in Paris in 2009, Noel quit the band, before the pair engaged in a public war of words for over a decade. Insiders have stated that Liam is enjoying having his mum on tour and she helps 'keep his head down' to stay in the 'best mindset'. One of the biggest moments on the tour is just around the corner as Oasis will take to the stage at Wembley next week, with Peggy's eldest son Paul, 59, performing a DJ set as a warm-up for the main event.. Peggy will be in the wings, and according to The Sun 'Liam is incredibly close to Peggy and has loved spending time with her during the tour. [She] has always stayed out of their disagreements and just wants the best for her sons.' There is still a lingering animosity between the band's frontmen, which has brought significant challenges for tour organisers. Separate dressing rooms are required, and the brothers use separate transport to and from events to avoid another flare-up and a potential 'PR and financial nightmare'. A source told The Mirror: 'They will not be in each other's pockets and effectively be separate entities that come together for necessary promotional work and the gigs. Other than that, they will be apart for much of this reunion. 'Rehearsals will be the first time that they will be together for a significant amount of time working again. The atmosphere is sure to be electric, but also a little edgy.' In 2019, Peggy pleaded with her youngest son, Liam, to bury the hatchet with his brother the following year, and has continually urged her sons to put aside their differences. Earlier this month Liam and Noel's estranged father made the headlines when he was captured on video saying his sons 'don't know f***ing music'. Thomas Augustin Gallagher, who they blame for an abusive upbringing and alleged violence toward their mother, has no contact with his sons.
