The
singer-songwriter has put the kibosh on plans for the reunion which, would mark
20 years since the band’s 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe.
The
Sunday People can also reveal that Paul Weller and the Happy Mondays had been
lined up as special guests.
Noel,
46, right, has been asked to make up with frontman Liam for the tour, which
included two gigs at Knebworth.
But the
simmering feud between the brothers, which boiled over in a backstage row in
2009, won’t be cooling off any time soon.
A source
close to Noel revealed: “There were hopes he would do it but frankly, he just
doesn’t want to. The Oasis reunion is well and truly off.
“He has
refused all offers, it got to £20million but even the lure of money like that
just didn’t work.
“Liam is
very keen to get back together, if only for the money but Noel is having none
of it.
“There
have been several intermediaries from their respective camps working very hard
indeed to reach some form of agreement but Noel isn’t budging and a working solution
between the brothers simply can’t be found.
“It’s a
real shame and Noel knows how much his fans would love to see the band reform
but he doesn’t want to commit to the time, he is quite happy as he is.”
The
money could come in handy for Liam, 41. He is currently facing an expensive
divorce from Nicole Appleton, 39, after he fathered a love child with US
journalist Liza Ghorbani, 39. He is now living with new girlfriend, former
personal assistant Debbie Gwyther.
Oasis
were formed in Manchester in 1991 and split in 2009.
And
Liam, now in Beady Eye, was clearly a little bit peed off about it.
In June
he branded Noel a “conniving b*****d” and said: “There was just bulls**t going
around. He’d been trying to get his little solo thing for ages. He’s just a
sneaky little... I was hard work to work with, ‘cos, whatever...”
