One half of Oasis wants feud to end

-

Liam Gallagher’s ideal Christmas present would be an end to his feud with his brother Noel.

The rockers have been feuding on and off since they broke up Oasis after a backstage altercatio­n in 2009, and their war of words has intensifie­d over the past year.

Despite his anger at Noel, when asked in an interview with the Evening Standard what his ideal Christmas present would be, he said, “I’ve got everything, man ... No, I tell you what I want: I want our kid (Noel) to come to his f--ing senses. It’s in him, innit? That’s what I want for Christmas. Yeah, I love him, man. He’s my brother at the end of the day. He’s just a bit f---ing snobby. A bit pompous.”

The brothers have both released albums this year, and Liam’s debut solo effort, As You Were, outsold Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ Who Built the Moon? in its first week in the shops.

Liam said he hoped lower sales of Noel’s record would bring him round to the idea of an Oasis reunion. “Maybe a couple of s--- reviews and poor album sales, he’ll soon come round, won’t he?”

Noel, the elder Gallagher brother, at 50, has expressed fury at Liam, 45, who has regularly insulted him on Twitter, accusing him of “legitimizi­ng” abuse toward him and his family in a radio interview.

But Liam is unrepentan­t, saying, “He’s embarrassi­ng … the s--that’s coming out of his mouth at the moment.”

Liam isn’t expecting any Christmas reconcilia­tion, as he told the newspaper that seeing his brother isn’t part of his holiday plans.
