Oasis reunion? Fans call for Liam and Noel to REUNITE after FINALLY ending feud
And sometimes, just sometimes, we get a miracle. After 12 months in which insults were traded and integrity questioned it seems as though the most wonderful time of the year has brought Liam and Noel Gallagher back together.
On December 19, Twitter king Liam took to his favourite social media site to send his 2.66million followers into meltdown by posting: "I wanna say Happy Xmas to team NG", later adding "We're all good again." If in November someone had suggested there would be thawing of the frostiest feud in music – one that began in August 2009 when Noel decided it was one fight too many before a concert in Paris – even the most ardent Oasis fan would have laughed.
Especially as at the start of the summer the animosity reached new heights in the aftermath of a tragedy that shocked the entire nation.
In May a terrorist attack took place outside the Manchester Arena when Ariana Grande was performing at the venue. The suicide bombing left 22 people dead.
In the wake of the atrocity Oasis' 1996 single Don't Look Back In Anger became an anthem of defiance.
And when Ariana organised the One Love Manchester benefit show, expectations were high that the brothers might put their differences aside for their city.
Liam jetted over from a festival in Germany, producing one of the night's most poignant moments when he and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin duetted on Oasis' Live Forever, dedicated to the victims.
Noel didn't show, but donated all royalties from his track to the victims. "I wanna say Happy Xmas to team NG.
We're all good again." Liam Gallagher Tweet But Liam was far from impressed by Noel's efforts and logged on to Twitter to post: "Manchester id like to apologise for my brothers absence… get on a f***ing plane and play your tunes for the kids you sad f***." In September, Noel headlined the We Are Manchester show that re-opened the Arena and couldn't help but shed a few tears as he played Don't Look Back In Anger but Liam was on Twitter again to accuse him of crying for a "PR stunt".
Noel responded, saying: "He needs to see a psychiatrist. I don't say that as a joke.
Because young Mancunians, young music fans, were slaughtered, and he, twice, takes it somewhere to be about him.He needs to see somebody." Relations were at an all-time low.
And it was just a month later in October that Liam finally released his LP, named after his As You Were sign-off on Twitter the newly-branded "LG" saw it rocket to No1, becoming the third fastest-selling LP of the year behind only Ed Sheeran and Rag'n'Bone Man.
By coincidence, Noel's third solo LP Who Built The Moon? came out just a few weeks later and also hit No1, making him the fi rst artist in UK chart history to have 10 consecutive chart-topping LPs.
But the "cosmic pop" he'd created with producer David Holmes didn't win him any new fans or please his old ones like Liam's more direct approach.
The Chief had lost this battle and was losing the hearts and minds of the Oasis faithful. He was also losing the war of words and wit.
Noel got a French scissor player on stage; Liam laughed and armed himself with a potato peeler. Coward Noel accused Liam of being a "musical coward" and sounding like "Adele shouting into a bucket".
When big bro experimented in the studio, Liam said: "Psychedelic music by a beige drip is like a vegetarian trying to sell you a kebab." Poking fun at Noel's friendship with celebs like Bono the insults never relented – "working class traitor", "celebrity stalker", "former brother".
Meanwhile Liam was adopted by Grime's finest, hanging out with Wiley and Skepta. On Liam's LP, Noel said he couldn't "be arsed formulating an opinion on a record that's written by an army of songwriters.
I'm not a fan. I have nothing to say about it".
Despite all the vitriol, Liam never made any secret of the fact that he loves his brother and wanted nothing more than to reconcile with him. He said: "I love him.
The geezer I used to be in a band with I f***ing adore him. Oasis? What is it? Oasis is Noel and me.
If we do not understand each other, there is no Oasis. "If we do understand each other, then possibly Oasis will return. But the important thing is that we will be brothers again." So it seems they are brothers again, Definitely Maybe.
But what about Oasis, could Liam's headline slot at the Isle of Wight festival's 50th anniversary celebrations become an Oasis headline slot? Some Might Say they gotta make it happen!.
