Reunion rumours have circulated over the years but intensified recently amid the apparent thawing in the feud between the pair. Reports over the weekend cited industry insiders who claimed the brothers were set to perform a string of gigs next year, including shows at London’s Wembley Stadium and Manchester’s Heaton Park.
There is also speculation that a Glastonbury headline slot could be in the works. Liam fuelled the rumours by offering some tongue-in-check responses to fans who flooded him with messages on social media asking for confirmation.
When one asked when the reunion dates will be announced, he replied: “Next Friday.” He also tweeted on Sunday morning that he “never did like that word FORMER”.
It comes as the band’s debut album Definitely Maybe is set to mark its 30th anniversary this week with a special edition. Liam has been touring the UK this summer to celebrate the album’s release in 1994. Noel has been notably absent from the concerts but during Cardiff show, Liam made a point of dedicating Half The World Away to his “little brother”, saying he is “still playing hard to get”.
