Mum’s gotta roll with split

Liam: She’s finally stopped crying her heart out over 20-year rift with Noel

- BY JAMES DESBOROUGH

WARRING brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher’s relationsh­ip is so broken that even their mum has given up trying to reunite them.

Irish-born Peggy, 73, says she is past caring 20 years after war first broke out – and a decade since her sons stopped talking to each other.

The Oasis stars’ beloved mum now cannot even get them in the same room at Christmas or for family birthday parties.

Liam, 44, revealed: “She is done with it. She is like, ‘F*** yous. Smash each other’s heads in for all I care. I am sick of it.’ It has been 20 years now. She is done with it and she has given up.” Peggy – who raised her boys alone – has also refused to move closer to them in London, saying she prefers the peace and quiet of her home in Burnage, Manchester.

Liam said: “She had three jobs. She’s still grafting today. She’s a tough woman, and she still lives in the same house.

“I’m like , ‘Come on. You’ve got to move from here.’ But she’s like, ‘I am not moving from nowhere.’

“She is not interested in any of this now. She is like, ‘You get on with your mad, crazy whatever life.’ Her feet are cemented to the ground.” Peggy’s revelation means an Oasis reunion is less likely than ever. Last year she gave clues about Liam’s split with Noel, 50, in Supersonic – a film about their lives. She confessed: “I think there was that bit of jealously. Noel was beautiful as a baby and then Liam comes along – it takes the limelight off you. “I was glad they were in a band together. I wouldn’t have wanted Liam in a band without Noel. But it all happened too quick.” scoops@sundaymirr­or.co.uk
