Liam Gallagher says he no longer speaks to his older brother Noel and the only time they communicate is on stage.

The 36 year-old the NME: "He doesn't like me and I don't like him, that's it. He hasn't told me what he thinks of anything this year. We've got nothing to say to each other at the moment... The only time I see him is onstage and we're a little bit busy (at) that time to be fucking scratching each other."

According to Liam it was an argument at an airport concerning a support band that strained the relationship even further, "I think it might have been about some fucking shit support band he wanted to play with us and he didn't ask my permission.”

He concluded, “So we had a fucking ding-dong in the airport and I think he started crying then. That was it - doesn't travel with me anymore... For the first time in my life, I haven't got a fucking clue what's going on with Oasis. It's pretty confusing but I'm not going to freak out about it."

Noel recently took aim at Liam after the vocalist reportedly stormed off stage at London's Roundhouse venue whilst playing the iTunes festival, saying his younger brother was “probably on his man period".

The Britpop survivors are set to headline the V Festival this coming weekend which takes place in Staffordshire and Chelmsford.
