Liam Gallagher's 'new measure to avoid feuding with brother Noel REVEALED' amid the once warring pair's Oasis tour reunion
Liam and Noel Gallagher 's mum Peggy is reportedly keeping her once feuding sons in check amid their Oasis reunion tour. Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, are said to been ' kept apart' in 'military style operation' when not on stage, 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 (L) and Noel (R) Gallagher's mum Peggy is reportedly keeping her once feuding sons in check amid their Oasis reunion tour 'Liam has been keeping his head down and concentrating on the tour. His main priority is staying in the best mindset possible.' MailOnline have contacted Oasis' reps for comment. 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.'ll. 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. As Jack walks off, Tommy retorts: '[Them] guys talking about music, they wouldn't f***ing know music if it f***ing bit them.' In the comments section of the video, one follower claimed that Tommy is a regular where she works and often boasts about being their father. She claimed: 'He always comes in the pub I work in telling us all.' MailOnline has contacted Liam and Noel's representatives for comment. Tommy and Peggy divorced in 1986 after being separated for a number of years, with Peggy moving out of their family home in Burnage with their sons after Tommy's drinking and gambling problem spiralled into violent outbursts. Noel was 19 and Liam 14 at the time. Speaking about the split, Peggy previously said: 'I left him a knife and a fork and a spoon. And I think I left him too much.' Noel and Liam cut ties with their father when they moved out, with Liam opening about his childhood in a 2018 interview with The Telegraph. He said: 'I was about seven when my mam left my dad. He was out all the time, fighting, beating my mam up, beating Noel and Paul up. Never touched me, though. 'Then, one night, while he was out, my mam got her brothers round, got all our gear in a truck, left him a mattress, and we went off to our new house.' Meanwhile, Noel confessed the abuse he suffered at the hands of his 'violent, alcoholic' father made him worry about what sort of parent he would be. Speaking on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs in 2015, he revealed he developed a stammer as a result of the beatings he got from his father, and said he didn't want to repeat the mistakes which scarred his 'horrific' childhood.

Oasis star Liam Gallagher puts bad boy days behind him as he's joined by surprise guest on reunion tour
LIAM GALLAGHER was regarded as the bad boy of rock 'n' roll in his Nineties heyday. But things have clearly changed as I can reveal that mum Peggy is keeping a beady eye on him during his Oasis Live '25 Tour with brother Noel. 9 9 She has been staying with her son during their sold-out gigs — with the pair spending quality time together in between dates. And I have been told that she will be the proudest mum in Britain next week when she heads to London's Wembley Stadium to see her sons Noel and Liam on stage next Saturday. It will be the first time in 16 years that she has seen the brothers perform together. Plus Peggy will also get to watch her other son Paul Gallagher do a DJ set before Noel and Liam take to the stage. A source said: 'Liam is incredibly close to Peggy and has loved spending time with her during the tour. 'She is really looking forward to seeing all three of her boys on stage at Wembley. 'Peggy has always stayed out of their disagreements and just wants the best for her sons.' And it seems that Peggy is a good influence on Liam, who has not posted on X since the tour kicked off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4. A source added: 'Liam has been keeping his head down and concentrating on the tour. His main priority is staying in the best mindset possible.' Liam Gallagher's heartwarming tribute during Oasis gig revealed - but did you spot it? Biz on Sunday revealed last year that Peggy wasn't fussed that Noel and Liam had reconciled for an Oasis tour. HEAD TO LONDON Of their reunion, Noel said: 'My mum couldn't give a s**t. My mum never gave a s**t — never. You know what Irish mums are like? 'When we told her we were getting back together, she said, 'Sure that will be nice'. That was it.' Noel and Liam are set to perform their fifth show at Manchester's Heaton Park tonight. The Manchester-born brothers will head to London next Friday, where they will perform five nights — with an additional two in the capital in September. London is about to get a Northern makeover. Meghan shore is smitten 9 9 MEGAN THEE STALLION brightens up our day by modelling a plunging bikini on the beach. The rapper, who posted the hot pictures on Instagram, was glowing again this week as she made her red carpet debut with US basketball star Klay Thompson, in New York. The pair looked every inch the happy couple as they arrived holding hands at her Pete & Thomas Foundation fundraiser at Gotham Hall. Gushing about her relationship to Page Six, Megan said: 'This is my first relationship where I have ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me happy.' Frown and out 9 BROOKLYN BECKHAM and Nicola Peltz looked serious as they headed out in the South of France. The couple, in the midst of a family feud, appeared to have a lot on their minds while they strolled holding hands in Saint-Tropez. Nicola channelled the look of the season in some black capri trousers with a faux-fur stole over her shoulders. And it seems that the pair are enjoying spending time by the sea, with Brooklyn recently describing his wife as 'my sexy little mermaid'. I trust their trip went swimmingly. Low's Avril high ROCK band All Time Low have revealed that they have secret tracks in the locker with Avril Lavigne. Guitarist Alex Gaskarth says that the Canadian singer is a huge fan of their new track Suckerpunch, and messaged the band to say how much she loved it. He told Biz on Sunday: 'It's funny the amount of things that you work on that never see the light of day.' Alex, who will kick off the Everyone's Talking! Tour with the band in October, said: 'I will say that Avril was very complimentary and very sweet about the song.' The singer collaborated with All Time Low in 2023 on the track Fake As Hell. Alex adds: 'Avril is a great friend. It's always nice when you get a text from Avril, like, 'New song slaps'.' Tinie's up for saving clubs 9 FIFTEEN years since bursting on to the music scene, rapper Tinie Tempah has returned with new track Eat It Up – and he's joining the battle to keep our nightclubs open. With the song having all the qualities of a club banger, Tinie's track will be a big help for venue bosses fighting to fill their dancefloors. The London-born hitmaker has joined forces with the Night Time Industries Association on its The Last Night Out campaign, after it was announced three clubs are closing every week in the UK. In an exclusive chat with Biz on Sunday, Tinie said: 'Without nightclubs, I would not be where I am today. 'If it wasn't for the 10,000 hours I put in at all the amazing music venues all across the country, I would definitely not be talking to you now.' Meanwhile, dad-of-two Tinie said he still loves going out, and his favourite tipple is a tequila and ginger beer. He said: 'Just because you have kids, it doesn't necessarily change who you are as a person. I'm a very proud father. I'm an artist as well.' He added: 'It's a part of what I do, as someone who has a publishing company and is always looking at new talent, I want to be where I can hear the music first.' Of his new track title, Tinie said: 'People say, you know, just lap it up, eat it up, soak it up. 'We come with the best energy, the best sonic. That is basically what Eat It Up is about. 'And also subtly encouraging people to be in a space where, you know, they're just having fun and letting loose.' Sounds like my kind of night. MESSY singer Lola Young seems open to meeting someone, as I can reveal she has signed up to celeb dating app Raya. She has synced her page to the song Brick by Ben Folds Five. A source said: 'She has been working hard on her album, but is also looking to dip her toe in the world of dating.' Mae: Isle succeed AFTER dropping her first EP as an independent artist on Friday, Mae Muller says the five-track My Island is her 'best writing yet'. Speaking to Biz on Sunday, the singer revealed: 'My writing is the best it's ever been, partly because I've learnt to trust my own instincts. "Not having a label has forced me to trust myself, which is a really powerful tool.' Mae – who left Capitol Records UK last year – revealed that the single In My Head (I Hate It Here) was inspired by bands Wolf Alice and The Shins and the lyrics fell out of her like 'word vomit'. She added: 'It's lonely wondering how you're perceived, but what I realised is that you care more than anyone else.' I couldn't agree more, Mae. Planners battle for Dua wedding 9 SHE finally confirmed her engagement in June after debuting a sparkling rock on her finger. And now Dua Lipa – whose actor boyfriend Callum Turner popped the question last year – is becoming hot property in the world of posh weddings. I have been told that luxury planners already have their eyes on the prize and would love to put together the couple's big day. Elite events organiser Camilla Boniek has started following Dua on Instagram after arranging Millie Bobby Brown's wedding to Jake Bongiovi in a secret ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, last year. Meanwhile, Josiah Carr and Justin McGregor, who recently organised the marriage of top fashion influencer Madeleine White and DJ Andrew Fedyk in Greece, are also following the pop star. And GSP Events – known for working with high profile clients on their marriage celebrations, and who have their services listed in posh mag Tatler's Address Book as the creme de la creme of wedding planners – have also connected with Dua. A source said: 'Dua and Callum's wedding will be THE nuptials of the year. 'Planners from across the globe will be vying for this job.' Speaking to Vogue earlier this year about her ring, Dua said: 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Sounds like Dua and Callum are a match made in heaven. A silent night Olly? 9 IT looks like Olly Murs fancies a quiet one as he hushes a band on a night out in London. The Troublemaker singer – currently on his 15 Years Of Hits Tour – put a finger to his lips with a phone at his ear as he partied in Soho. I have heard whispers that Olly was gathering content for a new music video after debuting single Save Me on his arena trek. A source said: 'He wants to go back to his roots with the music video and show off his cheeky personality. 'Fans have gone wild for Save Me and Olly will no doubt put his all into making the best music video as well.' Olly also played arcade machines on his night out. Good to see he's still in the game . . . 9

Security outside Gallaghers' childhood home still lived in by their mum as Oasis reunion hits Manchester
Security has been spotted outside Liam and Noel Gallaghers' childhood home as fans flooding into Manchester for the band's legendary reunion gigs have visited the area as part of their pilgrimage to Oasis's home city. The house is still lived in by their mother Peggy, who has been there for around 50 years. She has always refused to leave the home where she raised her sons. A security guard was seen patrolling the street outside the Burnage house as fans congregated to snap pictures of the house and take selfies in front of it. The Gallaghers are back in their hometown ready to perform the first of five gigs at Heaton Park. They will perform there on Friday, July 11 and Saturday, July 12. They will then return to perform there on Wednesday, July 16, Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20. It follows their historic first gigs on stage together in 16 years at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Fans filtering out of the Principality Stadium gave glowing reviews to our reporters, describing it as "the best gig ever", "ten out of ten" and "worth every penny." Others described it as "absolutely amazing" and "an emotional, out of body experience." The media also lauded the return of the band, with publications across the world united in its assessments to give the gig five stars. This included WalesOnline's Kathryn Williams who described Liam's voice as "faultless." The city was abuzz with Oasis fever for an entire weekend, with merchandise stores, an exhibition of priceless items displayed and its music pumping out of most pubs. The vibe appears to be the same in Manchester, with the Manchester Evening News reporting how weeks the city has come alive with murals, mosaics, art trails, and pop-up shops and an Oasis fan store. 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 can sell their seats, although these tend to go in and out of stock quickly. Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub, and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.

Who is Peggy Gallagher? The fierce Irish mammy behind Britpop's biggest band
Long before Oasis stormed the charts with snarling guitars and swaggering Mancunian attitude, there was Peggy Gallagher, the formidable matriarch who raised rock 'n' roll royalty in a council house in Burnage. While the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, became synonymous with 90s Britpop excess, their firebrand personalities and unshakeable self-belief were forged in the kitchen of a no-nonsense Irish mammy with a sharp tongue, a soft heart, and an unflinching sense of pride. Hailing from Co. Mayo, Peggy brought more than just her accent across the Irish Sea, she carried with her grit, wit, and quiet rebellion, traits that would find loud expression in her sons' music.

Pic:But who is the woman behind the myth, the one who held the Gallagher clan together through hardship, heartache, and the madness of fame? are tracing Peggy's journey from rural Ireland to rock 'n' roll fame, and exploring how a single mother raising three boys in Manchester became the unsung architect of Oasis. Born Margaret Sweeney in 1943, Peggy was one of 11 siblings, having left school early to work as a cook and cleaner at a seminary. 'Mam is an angel. The coolest woman that's ever walked this fucking planet in my eyes. She's an absolute diamond. Everything that's good about me I definitely got from her" Happy birthday Peggy Gallagher ❤️ — Oasis Mania (@OasisMania) January 30, 2024 Getting High: The Adventures of Oasis author Paolo Hewitt previously revealed to The Daily Mail, that Peggy took on a lot of responsibility from a young age, becoming the family bread winner amid her mother's bouts of bad health. At just 18, Peggy moved to Manchester to work as a housekeeper and childminder. This is where she would meet, and eventually marry Tommy Gallagher, a fellow Irish immigrant who ran a concreting business. As noted by her sons throughout their lengthy career, the marriage was far from idyllic.

Pic: Julian Makey/REX/Shutterstock In 1982, after enduring years of her husband's violence and alcoholism, Peggy built up the courage to leave, forging a better life for Noel, Liam and their older brother Paul. Reflecting on that moment in the 2016 Oasis documentary Supersonic, she said; 'I left him a knife, a fork and a spoon. And I think I left him too much.' Peggy and the boys soon found refuge in a small council house in Burnagey, a working class neighborhood in Manchester. Hailing from Co.

While speaking at a National Portrait Gallery event in London, Noel revealed his mother's reaction to their reconciliation was underwhelming to say the least. 'When we told her we were getting back together, she said, 'Sure, that will be nice.' My mum couldn't give a s***,' he revealed. However, it has been reported that Peggy had been praying for this moment for some time, urging her feuding sons to mend their relationship. According to El País, the turning point for the brother's came in 2023 during a spa day that Liam had organised to celebrate Peggy's 80th birthday. What a powerhouse.

Meet the mum of Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, Peggy Gallagher: she was instrumental in convincing the pair to reconcile – but ‘couldn't give a s***' about the reunion tour
The Gallagher brothers of Oasis fame may be preparing to light up stadiums again in summer, but the unexpected heroine of their much-anticipated reunion? Their mother, Peggy Gallagher, 81. While speaking at a National Portrait Gallery event in London, Noel Gallagher, 57, shared her surprisingly indifferent reaction to the news of the band's blockbuster tour, The Sun reported last November. 'When we told her we were getting back together, she said, 'Sure, that will be nice.' My mum couldn't give a s***,' he revealed. Still, as LadBible reports, Peggy has been quietly rooting for the reconciliation for years, urging her feuding sons to mend their relationship. While the world watched Noel and Liam's decade-long quarrel escalate through interviews and social media, Peggy remained the steady force pushing for compromise. El País reported that the turning point came in 2023 during a spa day that Liam, 52, organised to celebrate Peggy's 80th birthday. True to form, she didn't mince words, saying all she wanted was for the brothers to start talking again. That moment became the first step towards the reunion fans had almost given up on.
