Liam Gallagher told to mend rift with brother Noel for the sake of their mother

Warring rockers Liam and Noel Gallagher have been told to end their long-standing feud for the sake of their mother.

The bickering brothers have barely spoken since the band’s split in 2009 but have launched various pot shots at each other over the years.

With their beloved mum Peggy about to turn 80, they have been told to give her a birthday to remember.

Youngest son Liam has already taken the matriarch on a plush spa break ahead of her big day on Monday, but what she really wants is to see her two sons united.

It has been claimed Peggy has told the lads in no uncertain terms they must bury the hatchet once at for all and bring the family back together again.

There's no doubt she feels Noel, 55, needs support after divorcing wife Sara MacDonald following 22 years together.

Peggy wants just one birthday gift tomorrow - her two sons being friendly again.

A source told The Sun : “In recent years there has been distance within the family, especially with Liam and Noel at war.

“Peggy has told Liam to mend the rift and she is hoping there will be genuine reconciliation.

“Peggy was in a reflective mood and it would be the best birthday present if they’d finally make some steps towards patching up their feud.”

Fans feel Noel's crumbled marriage could be good news for Oasis as reunion rumours started to swirl this month.

Liam blamed Noel's wife for the band's reunion not happening back in 2020 as the pair's relationship became strained.

Outspoken Liam, 50, ranted about his then sister-in-law on Twitter, claiming she doesn't like the band's music and put the breaks on them getting back together.

Fans think now she is out of the picture, something could happen.

A fan tweeted him three years ago, asking: "Hi Liam, do you know why Noel hates oasis reunion so much??????"

Liam responded: "I've told you before he's rite up for it but you know who won’t let him as she doesn't like oasis music [sic]."

The "you know who" appears to be a dig at Sara, who Noel married in 2011 two years after Oasis split.

He said in a newspaper interview that he "didn't care" if Sara, Noel or his "f****** kid" Anais, now 20, were abused on social media.

Responding on Instagram, Sara said: "His f****** kid”? You mean your gorgeous niece, you deplorable w*****

"Please god (you) have dropped dead by the time my kids are on social media."

In 2019, Noel claimed Liam threatened his then wife when he shared an alleged screenshot of a WhatsApp exchange between Liam and Noel's daughter, Anais, on Twitter.

He then issued an apology to their mother Peggy and Anais for them "getting caught up" in the "childish behaviour".

Sara once detailed the feud between her husband and brother-in-law when chatting with Vogue - recalling how the two music legends once had a physical fight in a hotel room.

"They were rolling around like geckos," she told the publication. "Noel’s shirt was in ribbons. We left, but then I realised I’d left my bag in there. Noel knocked on the door and it was hurled down the corridor."
