The mother of Oasis rockers Liam and Noel Gallagher has spoken out about what led to the brothers' reunion.
Peggy Gallagher has opened up about the Oasis reunion.
The mother of Liam and Noel Gallagher has talked about her famous sons burying the hatchet as they prepare to embark on their Oasis Live '25 tour and has said that while she 'instigated' the reunion, the brothers ultimately had to choose to put their differences aside.
As reported by Metro UK, speaking to Ireland's Mail on Sunday, she said: "I was the instigator, yes. But sure, wasn’t it always going to happen at some time or other?
"It was their choice, of course."
The 82-year-old matriarch went on: "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."
Though Peggy is happy her sons are no longer estranged, she admitted that she'll be happy once the dates are over, because the whole thing makes her "stressed".
The Mayo-born pensioner said: "It’s great, because nobody wants their kids falling out, do they?"
"I’ll be glad when it’s all just over because it makes me get too stressed," she added.

Despite her anxiety on the build up to the tour itself, there is a date she's most looking forward to in her home country of Ireland, where her boys are set to play Dublin's Croke Park on 16th and 17th August.
However, the octogenarian has recently had a knee replacement operation and hopes she'll be fit enough to make the journey over from her modest council home in Burnage, Manchester.
"I’m hoping to get to the Oasis concert in Dublin in August if I can hobble around," revealed Peggy. "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."
