Liam Gallagher says Oasis offered £100m for reunion tour but 'Noel turned it down'

Liam Gallagher has seemingly revealed that Oasis have been offered £100 million for a reunion tour but it is not happening because brother Noel turned it down.

The siblings have been estranged since their bitter split in 2009, and have traded insults and barbs via social media and press interviews, but this hasn't stopped die-hard fans calling for a return of the iconic British group.

Liam, the younger of the brothers, has repeatedly made it clear that he is keen for the band to reunite, but Noel has so far resisted.

Liam, 47's suggestion that he and Noel, 52, received the lucrative offer to tour but the High Flying Birds frontman said no, came from a tweet that the former lead-singer of the band-turned solo artist posted not long ago.

He tweeted: "We've been offered 100 million pounds for a tour still not enough for the greedy soul oh well stay young LG."

Just minutes earlier he wrote "Wahey we're getting back together" and that "rich as f***" Noel was "doing it for nothing" while Liam being "desperate" is "doing it for the cash."

He signed off the tweet with the customary "LG" for his initials.

Noel's representatives have been contacted for comment.

Liam last year attempted to smooth things over, saying he wanted to bury the hatchet for the sake of their elderly mother, Peggy, but again Noel refused to take the olive branch for the sake of the group reforming.

Both brothers have enjoyed success post-Oasis, with Liam recording two solo albums and Noel performing with his High Flying Birds rock band.

Noel appeared to doubled down on his reluctance to reunite with his brother after Liam made comments about his wife, Sara MacDonald, and in July last year he accused his younger brother of sending "threatening messages" to his daughter Anais, then still a teenager.

He even went as far as posting a screenshot to Twitter, which appeared to show a text sent by Liam to Anais, in which the singer urges: "Tell your step mam to be very careful."

The message was reportedly sent in response to an Instagram post by Noel's wife Sara MacDonald, in which she described Liam's Glastonbury performance as "a fat t*** doing a tribute act".
