Relations between Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher are now so bad they no longer speak, travel separately on tour and only see each other onstage, Liam claimed today.


Just days before Oasis headline the V Festival, the band's frontman said the pair last spoke during a row at an airport which left Noel in tears.


"He doesn't like me and I don't like him, that's it," Liam told NME.


"He hasn't told me what he thinks of anything this year. we've got nothing to say to each other at the moment."


Instead the Gallaghers have been exchanging insults via Twitter and blogs. This week Liam called his brother the "fool on the bill" after the guitarist was pictured on a night out, and accused him of looking like "he had got through to the next round of X Factor".


Noel recently complained that "What'siz'name" was "probably on his man period" during a gig at Camden's Roundhouse last month.


Liam said today that the pair now simply trade insults on the internet rather than face-to-face "to save the f****** tour imploding".


He said Noel wouldn't have the nerve to criticise him in person "because he's a f****** lightweight and he knows where he'd end up".


Liam continued: "We don't travel together, do we ... so I never really see him, the only time I see him is onstage and we're a little bit busy that time to be f****** scratching each other."


The brothers have been feuding for years but hostilities appear to have stepped up in recent years. In a recent interview Noel confessed that his two-year-old son Donovan has never even met his uncle.


Liam said the last conversation ended in a row. "I think it might have been about some f****** s*** support band he wanted to play with us and he didn't ask my permission. So we had a f****** ding-dong in the airport and I think he started crying then - that was it - doesn't travel with me anymore."


During the interview with NME, Liam referred to his brother as 'Parker' because of the songwriter's similarity to the chauffeur from 60s puppet TV series Thunderbirds.


And he said he was unsure about the future of the band after Noel had claimed that he would like a five-year hiatus.


"For the first time in my life I haven't got a f****** clue what's going on with Oasis, you know what I mean? It's pretty confusing but I'm not going to freak out about it."


Liam recently branched out into the fashion business, launching his own clothing label Pretty Green.
 
Shame they loathe each other but there you go, that's families for you sometimes...not your average one granted.
That said they've made a lot of money from being distinctly average since about 1996.
The banter is always good mind.

Mad ferret!
 
I always think noel seems to rise above it all when liam starts his pish talk. I think we all know who the one worth listening to is.
 
for some reason the spectre of Katie and Peter hangs in the air..the reunion tour where they play all those Rutles tunes off the first two albums... oh hang on a mo.
 
are they trying to get publicity with this?

however the bit about Noel's boy not meeting his uncle is sad
 
I love them both. Come on. Oasis would be nothing without Liam, and nothing without Noel.

Anyway. It's not all that bad. I believe in the same interview Liam mentioned that he was ok for Noel to do a solo album 'as long as he's happy'. Which is still a bit sad, but is better than the bitching.

Liam has definitely met Noel's kids. Noel himself admitted that wasn't true, and that he's only said that to get a rise out of Liam. Same with talk of the solo album, although that could still happen, of course.
 
Not talking is a positive step towards not singing. Though if they'd split up at the end of 1994 I'm sure I'd be still angsting over just how good they could have been...
