Former Creation label boss Alan McGee has said Oasis will reform in "four or five years".

McGee, who founded Creation Records and signed Oasis, said that the Gallagher brothers will reform despite the huge rift that caused the band's split last year.

Speaking to BBC 6 Music McGee said: “Yeah, in about three or four or five years time, they wil. I'm pretty sure."

The band split after lead songwriter Noel Gallagher left the band claiming he could no longer work with brother Liam, but the record boss still believes that the pair can work it out.

He said: "I mean, they’re brothers. Its like, I’ve fallen out with my sister before and we’re best mates now. Why are brothers gonna be any different?"

However, the reunion seems increasingly less likely as Liam has been recording material with band 'Beady Eye', featuring former Oasis members Gem Archer and Andy Bell.

Beady Eye's new single 'Bring The Light', will be released as a free download on their official site from tomorrow (November 10).
