The former Oasis members have not spoken since the band’s split in 2009, and have now gone their separate ways in the music world. Speaking to Grantland, Noel revealed:

“We never hung out together outside of the band, ever. Now, of course, at some point I’m going to have to sit in a f**king room with Liam again. Hopefully time will heal some of these wounds.”

Noel Gallagher is set to embark on his first ever solo tour this October, and will perform shows in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin. Noel Gallagher tickets are on sale now.

The singer will now reschedule the performances, along with the cancelled shows in Bournemouth and Plymouth earlier this week.

The singer has released the following statement: “It is with regret that due to continuing problems with a serious cold and chest infection, Adele has had to postpone her show tonight, Wednesday September 7th in Cardiff and the following date tomorrow, Thursday September 8th in Blackpool. She had cancelled her performance at The Mercury Awards last night in the hope she would be able to continue her live dates, but has been told by her doctors that she is still not well enough to perform.

“The shows will be rescheduled at the earliest opportunity and all original tickets will remain valid. Refunds will be available from the point of purchase.

“Adele is extremely sorry and apologises for any inconvenience caused and looks forward to seeing you all at the rescheduled shows.”
