The Sydney Morning Herald ENTERTAINMENT Liam Gallagher talks about 'truce' with brother Noel and Oasis
FACEBOOK SHARE EMAIL EMAIL TWITTER WHATSAPP Kylie Northover December 21 2017 - 11:27AM Kylie Northover Liam Gallagher has unequivocally ruled out an Oasis reunion.
Speculation that the '90s Britpop band would reform was reignited when Gallagher posted a cryptic message on Twitter this week suggesting he and his brother Noel had made up after the pair's almost decade-long feud.
Speaking to The Age on Wednesday night, Liam confirmed the pair have called a truce.
"I got a little thing through the door from his management team and so I think there's been a bit of a reach-out and a bit of a truce," he said.
Despite the truce, Liam Gallagher tells fans Oasis "isn't getting back together". Despite the truce, Liam Gallagher tells fans Oasis "isn't getting back together". Photo: AMY SUSSMAN "It's all good - season of goodwill and all that, you know?"
The brothers haven't spoken to each other since the acrimonious split of Oasis in 2009, but on Tuesday evening UK time, Liam posted a tweet hinting that the pair's often very public feud, had been put aside - and the internet went wild.
"I wanna say Happy Xmas to team NG it's been a great year thanks for everything looking forward to seeing you tomorrow," Liam tweeted.
When a fan replied to the tweet - which has been 'liked' more than 54,000 times - querying if Liam was in fact referring to Noel, Liam replied "we're all good".

"All is good in my neck of the woods," he said, before adding that fans should not expect this to mean an Oasis reunion was on the cards.
"God no, no. Oasis isn't getting back together, not at all. I'm doing my thing, he's doing his thing and that is the end of it," he said.
"It's still the same - it's just that I've called a truce on it and he's called a truce on it and no more slagging."
Even when Oasis where one of the biggest Britpop bands in the '90s, Noel and Liam had something of a public sibling rivalry, but things came to a head in 2009 when the band split and their feud has escalated in recent years.
Both brothers released solo albums this year - Liam, 45, is currently touring his album As You Were, and Noel, 50, is playing with his band High Flying Birds - and their "slagging" of each other has reached new heights; Liam has frequently referred to Noel as "a potato", while Noel has called Liam "a village idiot".
But Liam, who arrives in Australia next week to play the Falls Festival and a series of sideshows, says he's going to lay off his brother.
"I'm gonna not be as naughty as I am on the Twitter and slag him off," he said.
"You've gotta try sometimes, haven't you? Who's to say the wheels won't fall off again - but you've gotta try. And all is good in my neck of the woods. I'm gonna try and see Noel at Christmas."
But he couldn't resist a final jibe when talking about the long flight to Australia.
"It's f---ing far man, isn't it?" he asked.
When we suggested that surely a rock star of his stature might have a private jet, he said he "didn't do any of that stuff".
"God no, mate - my name's not Noel Gallagher."

None of this makes any sense, why would Noel reach out to Liam at this point when his hatred seems at it's peak? If it's "still the same" then howcome Liam is seeing Noel at Christmas? Why are any of us believing Liam anyway?!
