Oasis rock legend spotted catching train to stadium tour rehearsal
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Oasis's famously grouchy songwriter Noel Gallagher proved he's still a man of the people as he took the Tube to his band's rehearsals in London. The Britpop legends got together for their first full reunion practice session this week and Noel, 58, looked relaxed as he rode London's District Line. Dressed in all black, the bomber jacket wearing musician, who is worth an estimated $50m, was pictured sitting alone at Paddington Station before hopping aboard a train. It was a far cry from his rock 'n' roll star brother Liam's arrival as cameras clamoured to get a shot of him through the window of a car. It's only a genuine rock legend on the District Line. Picture: Click/Raw/ The 52-year-old frontman looked to have loaded up on cough syrup and Lockets, presumably a bid to protect his trademark raspy vocals. However, the sight of a box load of throat medicine is likely to leave ticketholders, particularly those at dates later in the run, feeling a little nervous about Liam's stamina. It was Liam who yesterday revealed the brothers Gallagher would be blowing off the cobwebs and belting out their classic tunes today ahead of their hotly-anticipated summer stadium shows. Petition to make this the next Oasis album cover. Picture: Click/Raw/ The group's last gig was at V Festival in 2009, before they split following a huge row backstage at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. The former feuding brothers have now put their differences aside as they get ready for the tour of the decade which kicks off next month. Noel and the rest of the Oasis – bassist Andy Bell, guitarists Gem Archer and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, and drummer Joey Waronker – have already kicked off rehearsals, but now it's time for Liam to join them. The singer revealed the news in a post on social media platform X. One fan asked: 'Happy Sunday man! Are you ready for rehearsals 'There are only a few days left and you're joining the others?' Liam replied: 'Yes Rasta D I'm in Tuesday to blow there minds [sic].' Another fan asked whether the Wonderwall singer was 'excited' to begin rehearsals, to which Liam replied: 'Can't wait.'

An insider said: 'Anais was one of the biggest sources of comfort and support for Noel following his divorce. 'She was the one that was helping him get back on his feet and return to doing things he loved that had fallen by the wayside. '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. Oasis' last gig was back in 2009. '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.' The source said: 'It was all very slow-going behind the scenes to get the brothers talking again. 'Anais spending so much time with her dad allowed her to realise how much he missed his brother, despite the jibes they both made. 'It enabled her to plant the idea of a reconciliation on both sides. Thanks to her close relationship with Liam, she was able to call him. 'She worked hard to make sure they didn't look back in anger, if you like. 'Once Liam called Noel, the rest was left up to them.'
