LIAM Gallagher made a sweet gesture to brother Noel last night – which signals that the “brothers are at peace”.
The famous brothers shared the stage for the first time in 16 years last night at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

Noel and Liam made their long awaited return to the stage, playing a whopping 23 songs from their impressive back catalogue including Roll With It, Stand By Me, Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back in Anger.
The former feuding brothers walked out on stage with their arms raised together.
Body language expert Judi James said this was a “celebratory ritual that suggested an air of sibling peace and harmony”.
“Analysis of the ritual is fascinating. It’s Liam who has grabbed Noel’s wrist to raise their arms, suggesting he’s the one wanting to push the idea that they’re reunited for real,” Judi told the Mirror.
“He also places a confident and controlling hand onto Noel’s shoulder, raising his maracas in the air in what looks like a V sign to signal victory.”
The expert also pointed out a moment where Noel took a moment to take everything in while performing Half The World Away.
Judi explained: “He looks like a man holding his breath like the rest of the fans in the hope that the sibling bonds hold firm this time and they get through their tour in a state of (almost) total harmony.”
Noel’s 25-year-old daughter Anais was in the crowds as she rocked out to her uncle and dad’s numerous hit tracks.
She posted a photo of herself having a smashing time with a pint in her hand and donning a blue Oasis shirt.
The model and photographer captioned the photo: “It’s good to be back.”
Anais’ mother Meg Mathews, who was married to Noel from 1997 until 2001, was also present at the concert.
But Meg reportedly “walked out” of the band’s comeback gig – just moments before “her song” was played
Along with die hard Oasis fans, celebrities turned up in the masses to see the iconic band return to the stage to sing 23 of their best loved tunes.
One person who made sure they were there was Noel’s ex-wife Meg.
The socialite has been a big supporter of Oasis’ comeback, so she was there to show her support on the tour’s first night.
A source told The Mirror: “After posting about her ex-husband for weeks, Meg Mathews had a prime seat for watching the band.
“She was in great spirits before the set, watching Richard Ashcroft with pals.”
However, after Oasis’ two hour set the band came back with a three song encore which included Don’t Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova.
The Mirror reports that it was at this moment Meg decided to “walk out” and leave the gig.
Hardcore fans will remember that Noel actually wrote Wonderwall for Meg, when they were together.
GIG OF THE CENTURY
It’s fair to say last night’s Oasis comeback did NOT disappoint.
Fans were treated to performances by Cast, a Britpop band from Liverpool, and The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft before the Gallagher brothers made their long awaited return to the stage.
Oasis proved they were worth the 16 year wait, playing a whopping 23 songs from their impressive back catalogue including Roll With It, Stand By Me, and Talk Tonight.
Before Cigarettes & Alcohol Liam dished out orders to the crowd, saying: “I want you to do us a favour. I don’t ask much.
“I want you to turn around, every single one of you
“Put your arms around each other like you like each other and when the tune starts you jump up and down.
“Its f***ing easy.”
After last night’s gig, Oasis play another night in Cardiff before moving on to Heaton Park in their native Manchester for five nights.
Then the band heads to Wembley Stadium for five nights from July 25 and then on to Edinburgh and Dublin, with the first part of their UK leg ending at Croke Park on August 17.
Oasis then heads over Canada and America for gigs in Toronto, Chicago, LA and Mexico City before returning to London for two more dates at Wembley at the end of September.
They then move on to Asia, Australia and South America, finally ending their tour on November 23 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
