Noel and Liam Gallagher’s VIP guests forced to pick between them on Oasis tour as they set up competing after parties

NOEL and Liam Gallagher put their differences aside for the Oasis reunion and last week filmed an lucrative advert together with Adidas.

But it seems the brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher aren’t totally onside with one another.

I’m told that the pair have chosen to have completely separate green rooms and after-parties for their UK tour dates, with friends of both brothers having to pick between them.

One of my mates, who was lucky enough to get a guest list ticket for one of the shows in Heaton Park, told me: “You might be seeing Oasis on stage but you will not be seeing Liam and Noel together afterwards.

“Each of them had a VIP list where their friends and famous fans could buy their tickets.

“But depending on which brother you got your ticket off, it’s their green room and after-party you’re invited to.

“So if you’re on Noel’s list but fancy going across to say hello to Liam, it’s going to be a case of trying to blag entry. It seems like they are totally separate events.

“It’s gutting for people who want to hang out with both of them but it seems they’re keeping it all at a distance.”

Given that their final explosive bust-up happened backstage at a gig in France in 2009, I think separate after-parties and green rooms could help prevent an unwelcome repeat.

They’re certainly getting on at the minute, with Liam telling his fans he’s loved working with Noel again.

And Noel feels the same, saying last week of Liam: “He’s alright, he’s on tip-top form.”

The brothers will start rehearsals for the shows in less than a fortnight, with their former bandmates Andy Bell, Gem Archer, Bonehead and new drummer Joey Waronker joining them to brush up on the classics.

My band mole told me back in March that the brothers would start their rehearsals in the middle of this month, adding: “It’s going to be short but sweet.

“The band haven’t all played together in a long time but when it comes to performing Oasis tracks, it’s like riding a bike.”

As a fan, I hope the wheels won’t be coming off anytime soon.
