One Oasis brother has astronomically higher net worth than the other after pricey divorce

On Sunday, Liam Gallagher, 51, dedicated a song to estranged brother Noel amid rumours the pair were finally on speaking terms after falling out 15 years ago.

Oasis abruptly disbanded after the brothers had a backstage bust-up in Paris in 2009 - and have publically declared their hatred of each other ever since.

Noel reportedly agreed to reunite Oasis after being convinced by a £50m initial payday, with the announcement made on August 27. 

However, this will do little to lessen the difference in worth between the brothers, as according to celebritynetworth.com, Noel has an estimated worth of £53million, while his younger brother Liam, 51, is worth just £6million. 

Liam was instructed to give half of his then £11m fortune to his ex-wife Nicole Appleton following their divorce proceedings in 2015. 

Noel also lost out, as he had to hand over £20 million to finalise his divorce from ex-wife Sara MacDonald.

The eldest Gallagher brother once claimed it would take "half a billion pounds" for him to reunite Oasis.

But now, ten years after making that statement, the demand for the band's comeback has become so financially lucrative that he is ready to put their differences aside.

The announcement comes just ahead of the 30th anniversary of Oasis's seminal debut album Definitely Maybe, released on 29 August 1994, and 15 years since the last time the brothers performed together before their infamous fall-out.

Both Noel and Liam Gallagher shared the news on their social media sites, saying: "This is it, this is happening."

They will play four Wembley concerts - as well as four Manchester gigs and shows in Scotland, Wales and Ireland in July and August 2025.

Oasis said: "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."

The brothers have been pictured together for the first time in years to mark the announcement, with the photograph taken in London in July.

Revealing details about why the reunion is finally happening now, the band's statement said there had been "no great revelatory moment", but rather "the gradual realisation that the time is right".

However, they said the timing "must be a subconscious influence", coming so close to the Definitely Maybe anniversary.

The shows announced will be the only gigs in Europe next year, they said, potentially quashing rumours of a headline slot at Glastonbury. Plans are also under way for shows further afield later in 2025.

Details of who else from Oasis's previous line-ups will rejoin them, or of other musicians in the pipeline, have yet to be confirmed.
