Liam and Noel Gallagher pictured together for first time since tour announced
They have since been photographed together to launch a new partnership with Adidas ahead of their Oasis Live '25 world tour.
The Manchester-born musicians rose to fame after the release of their debut album Definitely Maybe in 1994, with their hits songs including Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Supersonic.
While in the group, they became known for their recognisable sportswear style which consisted of tracksuits, sleeve jerseys, bucket hats and coach jackets.
The pair are now the faces behind the Original Forever film campaign, which is soundtracked by their hit song Live Forever, and includes an accompanying Adidas Originals x Oasis Live '25 apparel collection.
Chris Walsh, Adidas brand vice president, said: "Adidas and Oasis share a story defined by originality and cultural impact, with roots that run deep and have long been entwined in the fabric of music and style.
"This official partnership represents more than just two icons coming together - it reignites a timeless piece of cultural music history.
"Original Forever continues to build on Adidas' lasting legacy in music and celebrates the powerful role music and style play in shaping culture across generations."
The brothers had been known to get into arguments over the years, but things reached breaking point at a French festival when Liam began swinging around a guitar.
Noel quit the rock group on August 28 2009, saying he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer".
The highly anticipated reunion tour announcement was followed with some ticketing backlash after fans in the UK and Ireland saw some prices more than double, from £148 to £355, which was blamed on "unprecedented demand".
The outrage and controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge they would look at the use of dynamic pricing.
Oasis are due to kickstart their world tour in July with performances in Cardiff followed by Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
The group will continue on with concerts scheduled around the world including Canada, the US, Mexico, Australia and Japan.

Oasis: five favourite hits
Here are five best-loved classics from the bad boys of 1990s Britpop, Oasis, who make their long-awaited comeback with a reunion tour kicking off in Cardiff on Friday - and coming to Dublin on 16 and 17 August. Supersonic (1994) The first Oasis single released was from their inaugural album Definitely Maybe and penned, as with most of their songs, by Noel Gallagher. It features brother Liam's distinctive singing style: holding and drawing out a syllable, with a touch of his Manchester accent coming through. In a Vogue interview in 2019, Liam Gallagher named Supersonic as the song he liked best from the band's repertoire and it contained his all-time favourite lyrics: "I need to be myself/I can't be no one else/I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic." Live Forever (1994) The Manchester band's breakthrough hit came with their third single, which was their first to reach the top 10 in the UK charts. The single cover was a photo of Beatles legend John Lennon's childhood home - the band Oasis often compared themselves to - and would be compared to by press and fans alike. "It was the tune that changed everything," Noel Gallagher recalled in an interview in 2009. The upbeat track, with lyrics such as "I just wanna fly" and "I don't wanna die", were written partly in reaction to the negative message of grunge. In particular Nirvana's song I Hate Myself and I Want to Die irked the young songwriter Noel. "Kids don't need to hear that nonsense," he later said. Cigarettes & Alcohol (1994) But life-affirming optimism was not exactly a running Oasis theme, already clear from their next single and now one of their all-time classics. In their concerts, it is the most performed of all their songs, featuring 645 times according to the programmes of 837 concerts published by analysed by AFP. The track captured the band's image as bad boys, a reputation that would solidify over the next decade until their break-up in 2009. It included lines such as: "You could wait for a lifetime/To spend your days in the sunshine/You might as well do the white line." Questioned about the example the song might be setting for young fans, the brothers said it was not about glorifying bad behaviour. "It's a feeling you get when you are on the dole and you've got no money, maybe to escape from your surroundings, that all you have is cigarettes and alcohol," said Noel Gallagher to Zoe Ball on The O Zone in 1994. Wonderwall (1995) "And after all/You're my wonderwall" - the refrain is so familiar even non-fans are likely able to belt out. The song was taken from their second of seven studio albums, and by far the band's most successful: (What's the Story) Morning Glory? shifted over 20 million copies globally. A 1960s film with the same title, and featuring music by Beatles member George Harrison, had been an inspiration for the contemplative song, which includes prominent mellotron that sounds like a cello. Looking back, the Gallaghers struggled to understand the huge success of the track, or seemed to like it. "Every time I have to sing it I want to gag," Liam Gallagher told MTV in 2008, according to The Guardian. But in 2012 he did reprise it for the Olympics closing ceremony in London, performing without Noel. Don't Look Back in Anger (1996) One of the rare tracks with Noel on lead vocals, this pensive song is the second most featured in 837 concerts. It came out towards the end of Oasis's heady mid-1990s when they were at the peak of their fame. As a mark of their status in British culture extending well beyond the music scene, when recently-elected Prime Minister Tony Blair entered Downing Street in 1997 the fresh-faced leader invited the band for celebratory drinks and Noel Gallagher was captured in a now-famous image with Blair, both sipping a glass of wine. "I was 30, off me head on drugs, and everyone telling me we were the greatest band since who knows," Noel Gallagher said to Spin magazine in 2008 about that time. The place of Don't Look Back in Anger in the public imagination was clear decades after its release, in 2017, following the bomb attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester that killed 22 people. A grieving crowd spontaneously sang the song's now-poignant lyrics after a minute's silence in the city centre for the victims, days after the tragedy.

After listening to what the customers wanted, Lidl decided to create the iconic jacket that will be sold online on on July 9 for €35. Customers are told in order to guarantee a limited edition jacket, they should log on at 10am.

Oasis announce special anniversary album, 30 years after its first release
Oasis have announced a special deluxe edition of their album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? to celebrate its 30th anniversary. It's been three decades since the band dropped one of the most iconic records of the Britpop era, and now the group are marking the milestone with a 30th anniversary deluxe edition of (What's The Story) Morning Glory?. The new album, which will be available from October 3, will include five newly-recorded unplugged versions of classic tracks including Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova and Acquiesce. The new unplugged versions were produced and mixed by Noel Gallagher and Callum Marinho from the original master recordings at Noel's studio, Lone Star Sound, in London. Originally released in October 1995, (What's The Story) Morning Glory? became a cultural juggernaut, selling more than 22 million copies worldwide and earning Oasis their first BRIT Award for Best British Album. It remains the UK's third biggest selling studio album of all time, and was recently crowned the UK's most streamed album of the 1990s. The anniversary drop comes as Oasis hit the road for their highly-anticipated Live '25 tour, with unprecedented demand seeing fans from 158 countries scramble for tickets. The global tour kicks off this week in Cardiff before moving through the UK and eventually landing in Dublin's Croke Park on August 16 and 17. Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly. Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets. Meanwhile Seat Unique has some VIP tickets available offering a host of additional perks alongside access to the gig.
