Oasis fans go wild as Gallagher brothers are seen in their FIRST backstage photo together after Liam's 'new measure to avoid feuding with brother Noel was revealed'
Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, are reportedly ' kept apart' in 'military style operation' when not on stage.
But a picture which surfaced on Reddit on Monday suggests that may not be the case.
The brothers were seen backstage at one of their epic reunion gigs with two young fans, and both Liam and Noel looked relatively happy to be there.
Posing with two of their young fans, Liam was seen cheering and punching the air while Noel adopted a more muted expression.
Fans went wild over the snap, the first one seen of the pair together off-stage, with some even asking if it was photoshopped.
They commented: '2 years ago I probably would have said this was photoshopped. I just did not think this would happen,';
'Never thought I'd see a picture of Noel and Liam where they are more excited than anyone else in it. Good news- things on tour are going well,';
'Those lucky lads, im happy they met their heroes,'; 'Why do they still pose the same way it's adorable
'A year ago, someone would have called this AI.'
Liam and Noel's mum Peggy is reportedly keeping her once feuding sons in check amid their Oasis reunion tour, it was recently revealed.
The pair are reportedly kept apart, but now their beloved mother, 81, is also on hand to help avoid a bust up.
The warring siblings' fractious relationship came to a head in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris led to Noel leaving the iconic Britpop band and they have been embroiled in a very public feud ever since.
But Liam is said to be 'loving' spending time with his mum, to whom he is very close, and her presence is helping him 'keep his head down' and stay in the 'best mindset'.

Proud Peggy is also reportedly ecstatic ahead of all her sons on stage at Wembley next week, with eldest Paul, 59, performing a DJ set ahead of the main show.
A source told The Sun: 'Liam is incredibly close to Peggy and has loved spending time with her during the tour. [She] has always stayed out of their disagreements and just wants the best for her sons.'
'Liam has been keeping his head down and concentrating on the tour. His main priority is staying in the best mindset possible.'
MailOnline contacted Oasis' reps for comment at the time.
But despite managing to put their difference aside to get back on stage, they have reportedly required separate dressing rooms and transport to avoid a clash and resulting 'PR and financial nightmare'.
A source told The Mirror: 'They will not be in each other's pockets and effectively be separate entities that come together for necessary promotional work and the gigs. Other than that they will be apart for much of this reunion.
'Rehearsals will be the first time that they will be together for a significant amount of time working again. The atmosphere is sure to be electric, but also a little edgy.'
In 2019, Peggy told her youngest son Liam that he was going to bury the hatchet with his brother the following year, firmly declaring: 'And that's it.'
Since Oasis' split in 2009, Peggy is said to have continually urged her sons to put aside their differences - telling Noel and Liam that putting an end to their feud would have been the 'best 80th birthday present'.
Earlier this month Liam and Noel's estranged father hit out at his sons by saying they 'don't know f***ing music'.
Irish-born Thomas Augustin Gallagher hasn't seen the Oasis duo for years, who've never forgiven him for how they treated their mother when they were boys.
Since the duo reunited a video has come to light of Thomas - who goes by Tommy - dismissing his sons' illustrious career.
In the 2018 video, TikToker Jack Burke was filming in Manchester when Tommy walked past and intervened, saying: 'Have you heard of the band Oasis? I'm their father. Noel and Liam Gallagher.'
When Jack asked for his name, he said: 'Thomas Augustus Gallagher' - pulling his passport out of his pocket to show to Jack.

Photos of Liam and Noel Gallagher in the 1990s have gone on show in an open-air display in Wembley than 20 images have been installed in the north-west London location, including opposite Wembley Stadium and the OVO Arena Wembley - venues the Gallaghers have headlined throughout their Friday, the brothers are performing seven sold-out concerts at the stadium for the Oasis Live '25 reunion tour, which marks the end of an almost 16-year split between the Giambrone, who curated the show, said the photographs "reveal moments of humour, tension, closeness and trust", rather than "the usual narrative of conflict". Mr Giambrone added: "We hope the exhibition speaks not just to Oasis fans, but to anyone who understands the beauty and complexity of sibling relationships."The photographs were taken by British music photographer Kevin Cummins in 1994, before the release of their debut album Definitely became the biggest band in Britain between 1994 and 1997, and sold tens of millions of copies of their first three albums Definitely Maybe, (What's The Story) Morning Glory and Be Here exhibition features images from the band's first studio session at Sly Street Studio in February 1994, with Liam in a vintage jumper and Adidas tracksuit trousers.

Australian actor Rebel Wilson sued by production company behind her own film
The legal drama surrounding The Deb, Rebel Wilson's directorial debut, has made landfall in Australia, with one of the production companies behind the venture filing a lawsuit against Wilson in the New South Wales supreme court this week. UK-based AI Film, represented by Australian legal firm Giles George and high-profile barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC, accused the Pitch Perfect Australian actor of deliberately sabotaging the film's release, alleging threats and defamatory claims had caused the production company financial and reputational damage. The suit also claims the motive behind Wilson's actions was to devalue the production's worth and pressure AI Film and Australian company Dunburn Debutantes Commissioning Company (DDCC – the entity managing the film's rights and named as the second plaintiff in the lawsuit) into selling their stake to Wilson's company Camp Sugar. Originally conceived as a quirky musical comedy celebrating Australian culture, The Deb was co-produced by AI Film and Camp Sugar, with Wilson directing and starring. But the partnership fractured in mid-2024 when Wilson took to Instagram to accuse fellow producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden of alleged embezzlement, sexual misconduct and obstructing the film's release. The allegations, broadcast to Wilson's 11 million followers, were swiftly denied by the producers who began defamation proceedings against Wilson in the Los Angeles superior court last July. In November, the film's lead actor, Charlotte MacInnes, who Wilson claimed was the victim of the alleged sexual misconduct, filed a declaration in the US court stating that Wilson fabricated the claims, describing them as 'completely false and absurd'. The court subsequently threw out Wilson's bid to strike out the defamation suit, not accepting her lawyer's argument that under California's anti-Slapp laws, the accusations she had made against the producers of her The Deb constituted 'protected activity' and were a matter of public interest. That defamation case remains ongoing. After filing its lawsuit in the supreme court's equities division on Thursday, AI Film issued the following statement: 'These proceedings are regrettable but essential to ensure The Deb's timely release. It's a joyous, fun film, and we are sure that audiences are going to love it.' And MacInnes issued a second statement, saying: 'I love this film and I can't wait for it to be released … it would be wonderful if these proceedings can help make that happen.' Wilson's Californian legal team, Freedman Taitelman + Cooley, which is handling the defamation case, did not respond to the Guardian's request for comment. In its lawsuit filed this week, Giles George claims that on 5 January, Wilson's lawyer Bryan Freedman responded to correspondence by AI Film's legal team, saying that 'Wilson is currently in active discussions to outright purchase The Deb (the 'Film') and all associated rights and title'. The Freedman letter also threatened to 'pursue all claims and damages should Al Film or any agents acting on its behalf interfere with that business opportunity'. AI Film is alleging that Wilson's motivation behind her alleged undermining of distribution efforts, including making threats to seek an injunction against the film's release, was personal financial gain. AI Film's lawyers claim that on 6 June 2025, Wilson had a discussion with film distributor Kismet, who was bidding to secure the rights for the theatrical release of The Deb in Australia, during which she said words to the effect that she was supportive of Kismet as the Australian distributor of the film but while there was a legal case involving the film in the US she could not support the film's distribution and would seek an injunction if any attempts to distribute the film were made. Giles George alleges Wilson knew the legal proceedings in the US were not impeding the film's release, and knew the threat of injunction was against her and her company, Camp Sugar's, contractual obligations. But as evidence in Byran Freedman's correspondent to them in January, Wilson was delaying the film's release so that she could pursue the 'business opportunity' of buying all rights to the film outright. AI Film is seeking damages, a formal apology, corrective advertising and a permanent restraint on Wilson and her company making any further disparaging and incorrect claims relating to other companies and individuals involved in the making of The Deb, which have come to been know in legal circles as 'The Wilson Statements'.

How Oasis shrugged off tensions between Liam and Noel to rock Murrayfield for the first time in 2000
Tickets cost just £27 when Oasis first played Murrayfield Stadium in July 2000. But most fans were simply relieved the band made it on stage at all after a string of bust-ups between the Gallaghers, says Chris McCall Liam Gallagher strolled on stage, leaned in to his microphone and announced the first song of the evening. "This one's for Frankenstein!," he excitedly shouted. Noel rolled his eyes. "Whatever that means, who knows?" he told the crowd. The drum loop of Go Let It Out kicked-in and the 60,000 strong crowd roared its approval. It was July 29, 2000, and Oasis were headlining Murrayfield for the first time. It was a gig many thought wouldn't happen, coming just days after the band played a disastrous second night at the old Wembley Stadium. Speculation was rife Noel would announce his permanent departure from the group before he arrived in Edinburgh, or would confirm he was quitting immediately after the show. Tensions in the band were so bad that the songwriter had already walked out on Oasis once that year after a now infamous dressing room bust-up in Barcelona. A replacement guitar player was brought in, and the group limped on through its remaining European tour dates. Noel, fans were told, would be back in time to play a massively anticipated stadium tour across the UK and Ireland. The first night at Wembley in July went smoothly and the show was later released as the Familiar to Millions live album. The second night was broadcast live on Sky TV - a novelty at the time for a huge stadium gig - and went very differently. If you've never heard Liam's on stage rant about his recent divorce ("she's left me with a teabag!"), it's all there on YouTube. It was rumoured the singer hadn't slept between the gigs. Noel, it's fair to say, was less than impressed with his brother's performance. So the fact Oasis made it on stage at Murrayfield at all came as a huge relief to all those with tickets, myself included. I was 14, going on 15, and had scraped together the £27 cost of a standing ticket. This was a time when I was paid £12 for a five-day paper round. The Gallaghers, perhaps reflecting on the carnage of the previous weeks, were on their best behaviour in Edinburgh. But Liam still found time to share his frank opinions on the speculation his band were finished. As Stand By Me came to a close, the signer firmly told the crowd: "That one's for all the silly journalists who keep going on about 'oh this is the last gig' and all that s**t. No one f***ing knows what's happening." There was a lighter mood before the band played Shakermaker. The supposed rivalry between Oasis and Robbie Williams, then the country's biggest solo star, was still being played out in newspapers. "This one's for fat arse," Liam announced, without explanation. The crowd responded with a less-than-flattering chant about Williams. It proved an icebreaker for the Gallaghers, who had been eyeing each other warily until that point. "Enough of that s**t, let's get back to business," retorted Liam to the crowd. Noel, deadpan as ever, added: "Robbie Williams is one of the finest actors the world has ever seen, and he's an amazing stand-up comedian as well." The brothers seemed slightly taken aback by the level of enthusiasm they were greeted with from the Murrayfield crowd. There was no front pit in the standing section - meaning anyone was free to force their way from the very back of the pitch to the stage, if they were brave enough. Noel stopped just two songs in to remind the crowd: "This is an Oasis gig, but cool out down the front, man." I had arrived early with my school friend Graeme. This wasn't my first gig, or even my first show at Murrayfield. I was used to visiting Edinburgh without adult supervision. But Oasis was a different level of atmosphere. Inside the stadium, we wisely positioned ourselves on the front barrier and decided to stay there, come what may. It was a terrific show. The disaster of the second Wembley night, and a week of negative press headlines writing off the band, had combined to push Liam and Noel's performance up several notches. Somehow, we even managed to stay at the front barrier for the whole gig, safe from the swaying masses behind us. But not everyone was impressed. News reports in the days after the gig focused on the vast amount of litter dropped in and around the genteel Murrayfield neighbourhood. One councillor thundered that Oasis should be banned from ever performing in the Capital again. They told one newspaper: "We are taking legal advice. The people of Edinburgh would expect nothing less. Old ladies in Roseburn are entitled to protection. This was not the normal Saturday rock concert. The place was under siege.'' Oasis, however, would return to headline Murrayfield once again in 2009, a show that wasn't a patch on their 2000 performance. They would also play the Usher Hall and the Corn Exchange venues in the Capital in the same decade. How will the 2025 version of Oasis fare in comparison? The footage from Cardiff and Manchester suggest this is a slick, well-rehearsed band who have all enjoyed a good night's sleep before each show. Have they lost their manic spontaneity of old? We'll find out soon.
