Liam Gallagher had a major operation last week amid rumours of an Oasis reunion.
The Beady Eye star, 50, told fans he needed the joints replacing in his hip due to arthritis as a result of a longstanding thyroid problem.
Taking to Twitter he wrote: "Morning Rastas so I had my Hip operation last wk [week] all went well and RESPEK [respect] to all the doctors n nurses who looked after me. Big shout out to the A team for getting us home safe n sound.
"You know who you are and Florence guru I love and adore you. Riverdance here I come LG x."
After hearing the news, one fan said: "I hope the operation hasn't affected your swagger!!"
But Liam replied: "I'm getting my physio to study old videos of my walk so we don't miss a trick, the comeback is real."
Fans will be hoping the 'comeback' refers to a long-awaited Oasis reunion after the rift between Liam and his brother Noel, 55, appears to be healing.
Noel seems to have U-turned on the possibility of the band reuniting just days after it was reported the rocker had split from wife of 22 years Sara.
The High Flying Birds star quit the band in 2009, citing his difficult relationship with younger brother Liam as the reason why.
However, there's now hope the band - who dominated the nineties Britpop scene - may one day agree to a hotly anticipated comeback.
Speaking about the possibility ahead of of the release of his latest album, Noel said 'never save never," to reunion hopes.
He added: "That's not to say that those circumstances would never come about," reports BBC Radio Manchester.
Liam has had a few choice words to say about Noel over the years and didn't go to his wedding with Sara MacDonald in 2011.
In 2020, the mum-of-two called Liam 'exhausting' and revealed her brother-in-law had never met either of his nephews.
However, after news of the couple's split broke, Liam hinted he was in the mood to put the past behind him.
Sharing a Google search for 'Hollies he ain't heavy he's my brother', fans were convinced the star wanted to bury the hatchet with Noel.
