Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher recently said that none would be able to call his brother Noel a “potato” anymore since they have reunited.
The Britpop band has been grabbing headlines after officially announcing their return and they will be playing a series of shows in the UK and Ireland next summer, their first gigs since 2009.
As the big announcement made clear, “the guns have fallen silent,” and it appears that brotherly peace is, for now, the order of the day.
Liam Gallagher responds to fans
Liam, who is once again highly active on X after a brief break, responded to a fan on Saturday morning (September 7) who asked if he was going to stop “tweeting shit about Noel”.
“Nope it’s all done peace has prevailed he’s the man,” Liam replied. “I can’t wait to be on stage with him blowing him kisses in between each song.”

Another to ask, “Is Noel still a potato?”, referring to a long-running insult that the singer has used for his brother.
“No he is bloody well not,” Liam retorted. “I won’t have a bad word said about that gorgeous talented young man.”

The singer has been using the “potato” jibe towards Noel for several years and it datesback at least as far as 2016, when he tweeted the word alongside a photo of his brother, something he later replicated several times.
The tweets eventually prompted a response from Noel in which he dismissed the insult as his brother trying to “stay relevant”, questioning whether it was an attempt to “climb out of the ‘where are they now’ basket”.
The back-and-forth went to another level in 2017 when Liam started looking for someone to peel potatoes on stage with him, seemingly in response to Noel having a member of his band playing a pair of scissors on stage.
Recently, Liam also stirred the pot by teasing the possibility of a new Oasis album being on the horizon, while he also stated that he was “seriously gutted” that so many of the band’s fans were unable to get tickets to the 2025 shows amid the chaos last weekend.
