The infamous bust up between the two brothers who were trailblazers of the 90s Britpop era, has been tamed it seems.
Noel and Liam Gallagher disbanded 15 years ago following a backstage brawl in Paris. After posting cryptic messages online recently, the brothers have now shared their first upcoming European tour dates.
