'It's down to our kid!': Liam Gallagher says brother Noel is the only one 'holding back Oasis from a reunion'

• e-mail

His departure from Oasis in 2009 signaled the end of the band, and a family feud to rival their hits in the fame stakes.

And it seems that despite their fan base clamouring for a reunion, Noel Gallagher is the main reason the Manchester rockers are yet to make a return to the stage.

According to his brother Liam, 44, the High Flying Birds frontman is the only one who can get the band to reform, saying emphatically: 'It's down to our kid'.

'It's down to our kid': Despite their fan base clamouring for a reunion, Noel Gallagher is the main reason the Manchester rockers are yet to make a return to the stage - according to Liam

Taking part in a Q&A session for Radio X in Manchester on Sunday night, the singer made a point of telling host Johnny Vaughan the ball was firmly in Noel's court.

Despite his own lack of solo success Liam proclaimed it was all down to Noel, and their very public spat had nothing to do with the band's failure to reform. 

Quizzed on the prospect of an Oasis reunion the outspoken star said: 'I mean it’s like, I’m here, I’m ready to go. I mean our kid bangs on as if I’ve stabbed his f***ing cat. 

'He wants to be in a solo band. If people think me having a dig on Twitter is what's stopping the band getting back together, they're mad.'

He added that it was firmly down to Noel, quipping: 'If they want the band to get back together they'll have to ask our kid. It's down to our kid.'

Liam was also at pains to point out it was Noel who kept talking about their rock 'n' roll glory days, saying: 'For someone who f*cking doesn’t want to get it back [together], there’s a lot of promoting about the band. 

'Our kid is always f***ing talking about how great we were and how f***ing great we are now, and it’s like, shut up man. If you want to get the band back together, get it back together.'

Bad blood? The former Beady Eye forntman went on to say: 'I mean our kid bangs on as if I’ve stabbed his f***ing cat. He wants to be in a solo band'

Longing for glory? He added: 'I ain’t f***ing desperate. You ain’t desperate. But for someone who f***ing washed his hands with it… He’s the one who’s always banging on about it' 

The Live Forever singer finished up on the matter with a thinly veiled swipe at the way his brother ended the band, announcing: 

'I ain’t f***ing desperate. You ain’t desperate. But for someone who f***ing washed his hands with it … He’s the one who’s always banging on about it.'

His comments come just weeks after the singer had a dig at Noel at the premiere of the band's brand-new documentary, Supersonic. 

Old friends: Liam's comments came as he reunited with Oasis guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs for Global's Make Some Noise event at Manchester's Etihad stadium

As the 49-year-old guitarist failed to make a show at the screening, held in London's Leicester Square, the singer quipped: 'This probably ain't f***ing A-list enough for him.'

As Liam rocked up to the special screening of the documentary earlier in the month he made sure to point out that Noel had stayed away.

The former Oasis frontman, who has a near legendary feud with his older brother ranted that his brother would be the first to claim credit for the flick if it did well.

Asked whether he was disappointed that Noel had decided to stay away, the singer responded: 'No, he does what he does and I do what I do. 

'This probably ain't f***ing A-list enough for him': As the guitarist failed to make a show at the Supersonic screening earlier this month, the singer quipped it wasn't glitzy enough for Noel

'I guess he'll be there if it wins an award though, won't he? This probably ain't f***ing A-list enough for him!'

He continued his rant with a withering sign-off, sniping: 'If it gets a BAFTA or whatever award he'll be there won't he with his f***ing shandy mates!'

Having made the effort to turn up to the special viewing of the film in London, the singer then took a helicopter to make sure he arrived at the film's premier in Manchester on time.

But Noel's no-show at the events has clearly aggrieved his little brother, as Liam continued his tirade on Twitter.

'AKA s*** bag': Noel's no-show at the events has clearly aggrieved his little brother, as Liam continued his tirade on Twitter

Taking to social media on Monday, the Mancunian singer blasted: 'Noel Gallagher aka s*** bag blanks premiere not 1 f***ing rag mention it if it was the other way round I'd be hung bunch of c***s LG [sic].'

However he did throw some praise his brother's way, as he gave his opinion on the film, saying: 'I wasn't arsed if it was done or arsed if it come out, it wasn't my idea. But I am happy with it.

'It shows that we had good songs, good attitude, we didn't give a f**k and we looked cool and we told it how was. We weren't plastic and we weren't afraid to have an opinion.

'His [Noel's] songs were great and I'm great. It was the songs, it was my voice, it was the attitude and it was the fans, it was the people who opened their ears and opened their minds that made it.'

Keeping his cool: Liam's rage was at odds with the cool and calm figure he cut on the red carpet that night as he appeared at the event with girlfriend Debbie Gwyther

Liam's rage was at odds with the cool and calm figure he cut on the red carpet that night. 

Accompanied by his girlfriend Debbie Gwyther, the Roll With It rocker made a rare appearance with his new partner, who he's been dating since his split with second wife Nicole Appleton in 2014.

The rocker stuck to his faithful look, wearing a raincoat zipped right up to the neck and his hair messy.

He showed he's still game when it comes to acting the rocker, sticking his finger up to the cameras as he posed inside the venue.

His glamorous counterpart complemented him nicely, sporting black from top-to-toe while showing off her slender shape in a see-through blouse and a short skirt. 

Supersonic is a rare insight into the lives of famously feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, who shot to fame as part of the Nineties band Oasis.

It is directed by Mat Whitecross and even though it features both brothers, Noel seemed unable to attend the first special screening of the event.

The film serves as a trip down memory lane for fans old and new, documenting the highs and lows of their golden years, ending with their gig at Knebworth in 1996.

Speaking at the event, a nostalgic Liam told The Sun: 'We were one of the greatest ever definitely. And we still are.

'If we got back it would be business as usual. Regardless of whether we are living in a Kanye or f***ing X Factor world, we'd put them all to bed.' 

Don't look back in anger? Liam's outing comes after he admitted this weekend that he takes full responsibility for 'hurting a lot of people', including his other children

'The stuff that happened was my own doing. S**t happens, and I apologise: In an interview over the weekend he addressed the split, apologising to his family

Liam's appearance at the premiere came shortly after he admitted he was willing to take full responsibility for 'hurting a lot of people', including his other children.

His marriage to the All Saints singer ended in 2013 after it was revealed that he had fathered a daughter with US journalist Liza Ghorbani. 

He told the Daily Telegraph on Sunday: 'The stuff that happened was my own doing. S**t happens, and I apologise. I've hurt a lot of people, but that's life. I'm in a good place with my two kids, the divorce is all done, and we move on.' 

Liam has two sons, Gene Gallagher, 15, whose mother is Nicole, and 17-year-old Lennon, with his first wife Patsy Kensit.

He also has another daughter Molly, who was conceived during a fling with singer Lisa Moorish. 

Following his divorce from Nicole back in 2014, he has moved on with new girlfriend Debbie, who he recently credited as 'saving' him.

First wife: Liam was married to Patsy Kensit from 1997 to 2000

In an interview with Q magazine this August, he candidly confessed: 'Debbie saved me. No bulls**t. Debbie swooped me up as I was falling, she just said, "Stop being a d***head."' 

Meanwhile, Liam admitted he would love an Oasis reunion but says it's all down to brother Noel.

He said: 'At the moment, it's a bazillion light years away. I'd love to, but obviously – it's down to Ronnie Corbett [Noel], innit.  

Liam also revealed his and Noel's long-running feud upsets their beloved mother Peggy and he thinks it is a shame that they have not yet buried the hatchet. 

He said: 'The olive branch has been put out many times, and he's blanked it. It's a shame we can't bury the hatchet, but it's not like I'm messing with the brakes on his car, or he's putting my windows through. It's just banter, isn't it, until one of us grows up. 

'It is a shame. I don't see his kids, he doesn't see my kids, and it hurts my mum, and all that tackle. 

'It's all very childish and ridiculous, but there you go. I'm quite enjoying it, actually.' 

'So yeah, here we are now, twenty years later, bored out of our f***ing minds. The party is well and truly over!'

Liam Gallagher and Bonehead were speaking to Radio X’s Johnny Vaughan at Radio X presents Liam Gallagher in Conversation in aid of Global’s Make Some Noise.
