Why Oasis split and how 'late-night phone call' ended Noel and Liam feud

It's almost 15 years since the band split up

When Liam Gallagher was performing 'Half the World Away' at Reading Festival last night (25 August) he told the crowd 'I wanna dedicate this song to Noel Gallagher'.

It was the latest in a line of compliments the brothers have paid each other amidst reports that they're getting the band back together.

Both Noel and Liam have teased the date '27.08.24' on social media, and the same message appeared at the end of a Blossoms concert in Manchester.

Presumably that means something is happening tomorrow, one day before the date that would have marked 15 years since Oasis split up.

Reports claim that it's going to be an Oasis reunion, with the band supposedly set to play at Wembley Stadium and Heaton Park next year.

According to The Sun, a 'late night phone call' between Noel and Liam had them 'on the same page' about bringing Oasis back, and if they do make that comeback, it'll be welcomed by music fans across the country.

The band's history is certainly a tumultuous one, with them splitting up in 2009 after it was announced that they wouldn't be performing at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Throughout the lifespan of Oasis, there had been a number of incidents involving Noel and Liam, including the Wibbling Rivalry - an interview between the pair which ended up getting released on vinyl.

Someone even once auctioned off a cricket bat which they said Noel had used to hit Liam, and over the years there were lots of arguments.

In the months before the Rock en Seine festival on 28 August, 2009, Noel had called Liam 'the angriest man you'll ever meet' and said that 'life would be easier without Oasis'.

On 23 August of that year, the band dropped out of performing at V Festival as Liam was suffering from laryngitis, Noel would later claim it was actually due to a hangover and apologised for saying that after legal action from Liam.

Five days later, the Rock en Seine festival was on and a backstage argument before Oasis was due to go out and perform meant the show did not go on.

A couple of hours later Noel released the following statement: "It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight.

"People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."

A couple of years later, he told Absolute Radio: "If I had my time again I would have gone back and done the gig.

"I'd have done that gig and I'd have done the next gig and we'd have all gone away and we could have probably discussed it. We may never have split up."

Since then, both brothers pursued successful solo careers and there's occasionally been talk of a reunion, with Liam tweeting 'let's get the big O back together' in 2018.

At various times they've said a reunion is not happening or an offer to get the band back together has gone unanswered.
