Noel and Liam Gallagher’s mother was the “instigator” of their reconciliation.

The brothers hadn’t spoken since Oasis split following a series of rows in 2009 but they are currently preparing for their reunion tour, and though Peggy Gallagher urged them to put their differences aside, she insisted she couldn’t have made them do anything they didn’t want to do.

“I was the instigator, yes. But sure, wasn’t it always going to happen at some time or other?” she told Ireland’s Mail on Sunday newspaper.

“It was their choice, of course.

“Look, you can’t force them to do things they don’t want to do.

“You just have to say, ‘Get on with it’ and I said that.”

The 82-year-old matriarch is relieved her warring sons have finally made up.

“It’s great, because nobody wants their kids falling out, do they?” she said.

Peggy is looking forward to seeing Noel and Liam back on stage with Oasis over the summer.

But she admitted: “I’ll be glad when it’s all just over because it makes me get too stressed.”

The Irishwoman is hoping to travel to her homeland to see Oasis perform in Croke Park, but she has just had a knee replacement operation so is currently unsure as to whether she will be fit enough to make the journey from her home in Manchester.

“I’m hoping to get to the Oasis concert in Dublin in August if I can hobble around,” she said. “That’s my plan anyway... it will be great.”

“I know the Irish fans are thrilled about it. There’s great excitement in Ireland about the reunion tour and it will be lovely to see family there, also my sister Kathleen. I am really looking forward to the Dublin one.”

Peggy — who also plans to see her sons at their homecoming shows in Manchester — knows the road to recovery will be long.

“It’s still sore,” she said. “I’m sick of bloody exercising it, up and down the stairs, they say it takes anything up to nine months to be right again... Still, we have to get there, we have to get on with it.”

The Live ‘25 tour kicks off in Cardiff on July 4 and swings through the UK, Canada, Mexico, South Korea and Japan before arriving in Australia for shows in Sydney and Melbourne in November.
