Rockers Noel and Liam Gallagher have both been pictured at rehearsals for Oasis’s comeback world tour as they played together for the first time in 16 years.

The pair arrived separately, with Liam coming via van while Noel took the tube. Liam was pictured with several packets of Lockets and cough syrup in the back seat, suggesting his voice was in need of a tune-up.

Noel meanwhile was seen at Paddington tube before making the trip across town to the secret recording location on the District Line. It is just a month before their first show at Cardiff ‘s Principality Stadium on July 4.

A source said: “It was extremely exiciting having Noel and Liam in the same room. The excitement for the tour is off the charts”. Speaking to fans online, an excited Liam, 52, said he was feeling “biblical”.

But the rocker warned he would not pose for any selfies outside the rehearsal space, saying: “You won’t see me. I’m not a poser. I’ll be in and out”. He also told another fan: “I’m fine, loving life, how about you”.

He also told another fan there would be “no themes” on stage, after his last Definitely Maybe solo tour had featured giant sized objects from the album cover. Also joining the band are keyboard player Christian Madden and drummer Joey Waronker.

Oasis split on August 28, 2009, after a backstage fight at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris. The brothers then spent over a decade throwing barbs at each other in the media and online.

Noel said he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.” But the barbs all stopped after they were photographed together while confirming the hugely anticipated reunion last August.

That all changed with the announcement of the tour in August last year. The pair posed for several photos together confirming the band’s long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying: “The great wait is over”.
