Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher has apparently dropped the threat of legal action against brother Noel, which centered around Oasis‘ cancelled 2009 V Festival appearance.
News broke last week of Liam’s plans to pursue court proceedings against his brother, claiming remarks made by Noel that Liam pulled out of V that year due to a hangover were ‘lies’.
Now though, a source quoted in The Sun has said the threat of action has been withdrawn, following a change of heart on behalf of the younger Gallagher sibling.
“Liam had spoken to his mum Peggy and she was upset by the whole episode,” the source says. “That was playing on his mind then he had a moment of realisation that Noel wasn’t being vindictive – he was just being cheeky. It was an anger that had built up over two years because he was so angry Oasis was over.”
“In the cold light of day he realised his brother was actually being quite calm about it all, and decided a legal battle was a bad idea. Hopefully that will draw a line under it all and everyone can move on.”
The news comes shortly after Noel Gallagher made his first comment on being possibly sued, telling a fans webchat recent developments were ‘not very cool’.
Noel apologised. That’s likely why Liam dropped it. Funny you neglect to mention that.
