The sibling rivalry between Liam and Noel Gallagher shows no signs of calming down any time soon following Liam's angry retort to comments made by his brother in which the elder Gallagher described the latter years of Oasis as "a sham".

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Noel remarked: “There’s always a power struggle in a band, and when you’re young and daft and hopped up (sic) on drugs and alcohol, it can get violent,” he said. “But when you’re all grown men with kids, it just doesn’t feel right.

“I found it quite undignified. We’re supposed to be the elder statesmen now! All this effing and blinding before gigs, and then going up and singing ‘Live Forever’. It was all a bit of a sham, really.”

As you might imagine, this didn't sit too well with Liam who took to his Twitter account to retort in classic fashion.

"A sham? Speak for yourself, I never faked anything, go to bed and give me a shout in 2015."

It's unlikely that Noel will refrain from commenting on this latest development. Speaking of Gallagher Snr. don't miss his typically candid interview with Stuart Clark in the new issue of Hot Press when it hits shelves this Thursday October 20.
