Relations look warmer between Kinks legends Ray and Dave Davies as they are pictured enjoying a Sunny Afternoon together.
Since their music made them stars in the 1960s, the brothers have been just as famous for bitter feuding that tops even Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis.
But now when guitarist Dave, 72, is in town, he stays next door to Ray, 75, in a house the singer also owns in Highgate, North London.
And the pair, snapped outside the homes, are even believed to be working on a new Kinks album.
Ray once said of their feuding: “Don’t know what Dave’s problem is apart from pride.”
And Dave has said: “You’ve heard of vampires.
“Well, Ray sucks me dry of ideas, emotions and creativity. He’s a control freak.”
He also once described them as like “a married couple who have just reached the end of the road”.
He added: “You can’t divorce your brother, though.”
Ray said he has been inspired to re-form the band – whose hits include You Really Got Me and Waterloo Sunset – when the Rolling Stones toured recently.
He also revealed he has a backlog of songs he wants to record.
And with him and Dave sometimes close All Day and all of the Night, fans can be optimistic.
