Liam Gallagher has revealed he made the first move to end the 15-year feud with his brother Noel, paving the way for the highly anticipated Oasis reunion.
The 51-year-old singer took to social media to share the news with fans and said on social media: "I called him but don't tell anyone as I don't want folk thinking I'm a soft lad and stuff, keep it between me and you cheers x."
The admission comes after months of speculation about how the Gallagher brothers managed to patch things up following their acrimonious split in 2009.
The 15-year hiatus for the Britpop legends came after their infamous split at V Festival in Stafford, with their Oasis reunion tour, set for 2025, generating immense excitement among fans.
Sources have also suggested that Liam's son, Gene Gallagher, 23, along with Noel's daughter Anais, 24, worked together to bring their famous dads back together.
"It hadn't dawned on Noel and Liam until recently that their own kids had never properly seen them together.

"They didn't want to wait until it was too late to show them why they are Britain's biggest band," a source told The Mirror.
The band will perform at several iconic venues across the UK and Ireland, including London's Wembley Stadium, Manchester's Heaton Park, and Dublin's Croke Park.
Multiple dates have been announced for each city, with five shows scheduled for Manchester alone.
Whilst UK and Ireland dates have been confirmed, international tour dates are expected to be announced at a later stage.

The Oasis reunion tour has faced controversy over ticket pricing after fans were left frustrated when general admission tickets, initially advertised at £148.50, soared to £355.20 due to dynamic pricing.
This pricing strategy, which adjusts costs based on demand, sparked outrage among supporters. In response to the backlash, Oasis announced two additional shows at London's Wembley Stadium for September 2025.
Disappointed fans who missed out on the original sale were given the opportunity to enter a ballot for a chance to purchase tickets for these extra dates.
The band has faced calls for refunds on the price difference between initial and final ticket costs.
