Insiders predict that the moment the conflicting brothers reunited will be in the hotly awaited Oasis movie.
Footage of Noel and Liam Gallagher’s landmark first meeting after years of fighting will feature in a movie of the band’s reunion. Sources say the initial tension and uncertainty between the two was caught on film – and that Oasis fans will be “spellbound” by how the brothers’ feud thawed.
The band reformed and announced the Oasis Live ’25 tour last summer to fanfare. The shock move to reunite came from Liam’s decision to say sorry to Noel, with his long-term partner Debbie Gwyther playing a key part. The insider says: “Debbie certainly doesn’t take any s**t and arguably has kept everything rolling smoothly.”
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is producing the movie as a documentary, not a biopic, to be released in cinemas worldwide. His crew were allowed inside the meetings and rehearsal rooms when Liam and Noel discussed the possible comeback and then began working together again. The result is a rich fly-on-the-wall insight, including mobile phone video as well as sit-down interviews.
The insider says, “Steve and his team have fantastic access to the footage and access. Never have you seen Liam and Noel so vulnerable and openly. This is much more significant than a “let’s do it for the money” return. It emphasizes deep-seated feelings of jealousy, ill will, anger, and a strong desire for reconciliation.
The two of them will open up like never before as a result of the footage of their reunion and discussions of how that happened. It was profoundly moving and raw. Liam had to apologize and accept responsibility for a large portion of the issue.
“Noel rose up too. Perhaps this was the first time egos were left at the door during the first few weeks. Liam’s swagger returned with a bang as we got closer to the shows, of course, but he’s been keeping things in balance when not in the spotlight. Debbie has played a key role.
Oasis split in 2009 after 15 years of hits, when Noel walked out of a tour following a backstage brawl in Paris. They returned to huge acclaim in July at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. The band play London’s Wembley Stadium tonight before heading to South Korea, Japan and Australia.
The band just announced Project Rock ‘n ‘Roll Stars, a limited edition print sale that will aid in the restoration of music in UK state schools.
The posters feature original handwritten lyric sheets for five of Oasis’ most well-known songs, including Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger, Stand By Me, Champagne Supernova, Supernova, and Rock ‘n’Roll Star, as well as a screen print of Liam and Noel Gallagher walking out on stage hand in hand during the first of five shows at London’s Wembley Stadium. They’ve joined forces with CIRCA to mark their historic Live ‘
The project responds to the decline of music provision in UK state schools with 100 per cent of Oasis royalties (50 per cent of proceeds) committed to the cause. Prints are available here until November 25.
