Liam and Noel Gallagher look adorable in throwback childhood snaps

They had one of the most famous feuds in music history. 

However prior to Oasis’ sensational split in 2009 after a backstage bust up the Gallagher brothers were incredibly close. 

And in throwback snaps Liam and Noel showcased their brotherly love as they posed in an adorable snap with their other elder brother Paul. 

Wearing matching striped jumpers, Noel and Paul can been seen squinting into the sunlight while a younger Liam was wrapped up in a furry jacket and matching hat. 

In another photo their mother Peggy posed with her three sons as children while the final snap saw a teenage Liam posing with her. 

Peggy moved from Ireland to Manchester to work as a housekeeper and childminder when she was 18 years old.

There, she met fellow Irishman Tommy Gallagher – who ran his own concrete business – and the pair married in the 60s, settling in the Lonsight area of Manchester.

Over the years, Noel and Liam – whose older brother Paul also works in the music industry – have both made reference to their ‘horrific’ childhood in interviews and the abuse they suffered at the hands of their ‘violent, alcoholic’ father.

In 1984, the Gallagher matriarch was offered a council home and left with her sons in the middle of the night to get away from Tommy – telling the Supersonic documentary-makers that she ‘spent her life worrying’ about her children.

Liam opened about his childhood in a 2018 interview with The Telegraph as he said: ‘I was about seven when my mam left my dad. 

‘He was out all the time, fighting, beating my mam up, beating Noel and Paul up. Never touched me, though.

‘Then, one night, while he was out, my mam got her brothers round, got all our gear in a truck, left him a mattress, and we went off to our new house.’

Despite Noel and Liam’s repeated attempts to buy their mother a new home over the years, Peggy has always insisted on remaining in the same council house in Manchester – and only ever asked them to replace her garden gate.

Since Oasis’ split in 2009, Peggy is said to have continually urged her sons to put aside their differences – telling Noel and Liam that putting an end to their feud would have been the ‘best 80th birthday present’.

Peggy previously recalled of her brood: ‘I think there was always that bit of jealousy.

‘Noel was absolutely beautiful when he was a baby. Then, of course, Liam came along, takes the limelight. You could tell the disagreement was there with them.’

Meanwhile Oasis have arrived in Cardiff ahead of the first gig of their hotly-anticipated reunion tour, after a last minute change to the plans.

The iconic Britpop band will perform stadium shows for the first time in 15 years across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, South Korea and North, Central and South America, where it will conclude with a show at São Paulo’s Estádio do Morumbi on November 23. 

And on Monday, fans became convinced that the duo had already arrived in Wales to sound check at the stadium after people heard music coming from inside. 

It has also been revealed the brothers have enlisted new bandmates for the tour, with drummer Joey Waronker and guitarists Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs on board.

A source told The Mirror: ‘With a new lineup and it being such a huge first show, the boys will do some songs inside the venue too. 

‘Some tours would start with a smaller show or take a week or two to get into the groove again- but there is no time for that, and also Liam and Noel want every night to be massive. 

‘This is such a huge comeback show, and they are taking it very seriously, it all points to it being an incredible comeback tour.’
