First Liam and Noel Gallagher backstage Oasis photo emerges after 'fake friends' claim
Noel Gallagher and his brother, Liam, have been papped backstage together following reports they're being 'kept apart'. The sibling stars have been wowing crowds since kicking off their epic reunion tour in Cardiff three weeks ago following a 16-year hiatus in which they were savagely estranged.
Their high-profile feud has been rumbling on for years. However, the Don't Look Back In Anger stars seem to have put the past behind them while on stage this month, holding hands in jubilation as they perform to the packed-out crowds.
There are rumours, however, that the stars are being kept apart, staying in different hotels because they want to 'keep the peace'.
Liam and Noel's epic gift to Manchester Gallagher Hill fans resold for huge amount
Despite this, the pair were snapped posing with two excitable fans, sporting Oasis shirts backstage after their glittering gig in Manchester on Sunday.
Sporting sunglasses, Noel stands next to the fan, as Liam puts his arm around his friend, punching the air after the band's thrilling performance in his hometown.
'Never thought I'd see a picture of Noel and Liam where they are more excited than anyone else in it,' one fan joked on Reddit.
Another said: 'Those lucky lads, im happy they met their heroes,' and a third penned: 'Love that they still pose the same way it's adorable.'
Others speculated that things 'must be going well on tour' between the two brothers.
However, according to The Sun, a source said the Don't Look Back in Anger stars 'don't want to over-expose themselves to each other,' during the tour.
As a result, Liam and Noel have reportedly been staying in separate residences after their gigs.
The source said: 'Having separate residences is the best option so they can relax in their own space.
'They stayed in separate locations outside the city around half an hour away from each other.
'They're happy families at the moment and they want to keep it that way."
Liam and Noel thanked fans for coming to Oasis' gig on Sunday, even though they didn't have a ticket.
Those not lucky enough to bag a place for the reunion have been gathering on the newly-named Gallagher Hill in Heaton Park to try and catch a glimpse of the gig. And last night, a thousand were given an exclusive Oasis t-shirt, branded with 'Gallagher Hill', which went down a storm with the fans as they soaked up the electric atmosphere.
Sisters Claire and Kerri Davis told the Manchester Evening news the t.shirts were handed out by a man on a golf buggy. They said: 'He just came and was handing them out, he looked official. He said 'they're from Liam but I've only got a thousand.'"

'Reflecting on 25 years ago when @Oasis rocked the stadium with 70,000 fans, and Franny fru fru, Pippy la la, Rose & Ra Ra, @lexyroche made it right to the front barrier don't know how we did it,' Meg wrote.

Noel Gallagher's turbulent relationship with Scots ex-wife Sara McDonald
The Oasis star and his Edinburgh born ex-wife Sara announced their split in January 2023 after 12 years of marriage. It's now just two weeks until Oasis take to the stage at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium in a moment their Scottish fans have been waiting on for over 15 years. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher finally announced they'd put their long-standing feud behind them last year when they made the huge announcement about the Oasis Live 25 reunion tour. It's almost Scotland's turn as the pair have already completed a string of shows around the UK including two nights at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, where they kicked off their tour on Friday, July 4 and five nights in their home city of Manchester at Heaton Park. This weekend, the Gallagher brothers kick start their London shows at Wembley Stadium tonight. They will play another four shows in the UK's capital on Saturday, July 26, Wednesday, July 30, Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3. Edinburgh will be Oasis next stop with their three shows in the Capital set to take place on Friday August 8, Saturday, August 9 and Tuesday, August 12. It will mark the first time that Oasis have played in Scotland since 2009 when their final gig in the country came as a part of their "Dig Out Your Soul" tour at Murrayfield Stadium. Noel has a deeply personal connection with Scotland, particularly Edinburgh, as it's where his ex-wife Sara McDonald was born and raised. The High Flying Birds star's reunion with his brother comes after a tough couple of years in his personal life. The 57-year-old confirmed in early 2023 that he was parting ways with Sara after 12 years of marriage. Noel's divorce from the Scottish music PR is said to have set him back £20m and forced him to relinquish their lavish £8M Hampshire abode. The Oasis songwriter previously opened up about their split on Matt Morgan's Patreon Podcast, where he candidly spoke about adjusting to single life. He even described a cheeky gesture he makes when biking in London: "I can get on the bike and go up to King's Cross, and go down to the canal at Longfield Road. "And get on the canal outside my wonderful ex-wife's house and give her a little wave, and go, 'You didn't take this from me'!" Over the course of their two decades together, Noel and Sara welcomed their two kids Donovan, 17, and Sonny, 15. A retrospective glance at Noel and Sara's relationship narrates the story of their first encounter, the alleged influence that Sara had on the notorious feud between the Oasis siblings, and the unraveling that led to their break up. The former couple first crossed paths in 2000 at the famous Space nightclub in Ibiza while Noel was still married to Meg Matthews. It was the same year that Noel and Matthews welcomed their daughter Anais, now 25. In a previous tell-all interview with Vogue, Sara shared the story of Noel asking her to hold onto his cigarettes and pint whilst nipping to the loo before they ended up sharing a cab ride home. Their encounter led to the singer asking for Sara's number which she scribbled on a card and it all appeared to be 'love at first sight'. Noel has openly revealed in the past that he held onto her contact information 'like it was a religious f**king artefact', despite claims that they didn't explore a romance until his marriage with Meg was officially over in 2001.

The dad-of-three also made claims later on that he fabricated tales of infidelity during his first marriage to hasten the divorce proceedings, stating at the time that his departure from Meg was down to his inability to endure her behaviour. Sara and Noel then went on their first outing as a couple at The Lanesborough Hotel, according to Daily Mail reports at the time. Back in a 2015 interview with Radio 4 presenter Kirsty Young, Noel confessed: "You know, I never believed in love at first sight or that soulmate thing until I met her." They took things to the next level when they exchanged vows in 2011 at the swanky Lime Wood Hotel nestled within the New Forest. As a sweet tribute to Sara's Scottish roots, bagpipes were played on their special day. The pair were already parents to their two boys Donovan, who was born in 2007, and Sonny, who arrived in 2010, when they tied the knot. Brother Liam Gallagher was notably absent from the occasion and is said to have received no invitation. Sara inevitably found herself embroiled in the infamous Oasis feud between Noel and Liam. Initially, Sara had a good relationship with Liam as a Scottish music PR but things took a turn after she and Noel briefly separated in 2002. In 2020, Sara publicly spoke about the tumultuous relationship between the brothers for the first time, revealing that their eldest son Donovan had never met his uncle. According to the Daily Mail, Sara alleged that Liam had once called her '11 times in one night', hurling abusive language at her. She also recalled an incident where an argument between the Gallagher siblings ended in Liam tossing her handbag down a hotel corridor. Noel previously disclosed in 2011 that his then-wife was not a huge lover of his music in Oasis, stating she's "not the biggest fan of anything I've ever done". In 2020, Liam then suggested on Twitter that Sara might be the reason why an Oasis reunion wouldn't happen. Responding to a fan who asked why Noel was against an Oasis reunion, Liam replied: "I've told you before he's right up for it but you know who won't let him as she doesn't like Oasis music." Sara and Noel announced their separation in January 2023. A statement on behalf of the couple read: "Noel and Sara will together continue to look after their children who remain their priority."The statement concluded with a request for privacy, saying: "Noel and Sara ask the media to respect their privacy at this time." Noel was very candid about his marriage breakdown during a chat with Ireland's Hot Press Magazine, explaining that things started to go south during lockdown. Noel admitted like many middle-aged couples, they simply "grew tired of each other". He divulged to The Sun: "When you get to your mid-50s you do come to some kind of crossroads in your life. "It's not uncommon for people who have been in long-term relationships to go their separate ways in their 50s. I know a lot of people in the same boat as me and Sara. Particularly after the pandemic. "The midlife crisis thing is true for men and women." He also confessed that his demanding tour itinerary played a part in his marital split, along with constant partying which would leave Sara furious. The ex-couple now co-parent their two boys, who are their "main priority". Following their split, Noel reportedly handed over £20M to Sara, as well as their lavish Hampshire home worth £8million in the divorce settlement.
