Oasis’ co-manager Alec McKinlay yesterday told Music Week the reunion tour would be the only time fans would see the brothers performing together again.
He said: “This is the last time around, as Noel has made clear in the press. It is a chance for fans who haven’t seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to.
“But no, there’s no plan for any new music.”;;

The rapper, sitting next to her boyfriend, NFL footballer Stefon Diggs, is thought to finally be on the cusp of releasing her second album – the long-awaited follow-up to 2018 breakthrough record Invasion of Privacy. Hopefully it’s worth the wait.
Queens of the Stone Age have announced a concert film called Alive in the Catacombs.
It’s the first time a live gig has been staged in the underground burial chambers below , which was a dream of frontman Josh Homme.
He said of the film, out June 5: “If you’re ever going to be haunted, surrounded by several million dead people is the place.
“I’ve never felt so welcome in my life. We’re so stripped down because that place is so stripped down, which makes the music so stripped down, which makes the words so stripped down.
“It would be ridiculous to try to rock there. All those decisions were made by that space.
“That space dictates everything, it’s in charge. You do what you’re told when you’re in there.”;;

Sam and Pete book buddies
While his ex Zara is totally loved up with Louis, is keeping himself busy with a change of career.
The I’m a winner has got himself a bumper book deal alongside his Towie pal .
Insiders tell me the duo are working on the book, albeit with help from a ghostwriter, and should be announcing the project in the coming days.
A source said: “After months of discussions, Sam and Pete have landed a book deal. Their podcast is already doing so well, so they wanted a new challenge and this is it.
“It’s been the perfect distraction for Sam after his relationship with Zara ended but it’s not a tell-all. He won’t be airing their dirty laundry.
“While the book is theirs and they are helping with ideas, I’m not sure either will be putting pen to paper. A ghostwriter has already started work on the project.”;;
Lizzo is Real Busy
After bouncing back with new single Still Bad, is preparing to drop her next record Love in Real Life.

She performed About Damn Time on stage with Jason Momoa, to hype up his new Amazon film The Wrecking Crew, before changing into a chic black dress and heading across the city to an interview with TV talk show host Andy Cohen.
Lizzo also sat down with radio presenter and hit back at people who criticised her weight loss.
She said: “Put me next to any pop star right now, I’m still bigger than them. I didn’t realise how much my body changed until I was filming the Love in Real Life music video.
“I was in shock. It shocked me, because the way that I’m releasing weight has been a long, slow process.”;;
may claim he’s not the smartest – but at least his home is.
The reality TV regular has teamed up with Amazon to front its latest campaign, which attempts to prove setting up a “smart home”;; is a lot easier than people might think.
In the new ad, faux dipstick Joey gives fans a tour of his huge Essex home, which is fitted with a load of fancy mod cons such as Alexa-controlled blinds and Blink security cameras.
Joey said: “I know some people might think you’ve got to be a genius to manage a smart home, but if I can do it, then anyone can. I love that Alexa sets the mood in my bedroom, while Blink gives me peace of mind there’s nothing lurking in the garden.”;;
We’ll take you at your word, Joey.
Uni Usher’s wise words
Fresh from during his residency at London’s O2 Arena, picked up an honorary degree from Emory University in Atlanta.
The Yeah! singer wore a cap and gown as he received the honour, and gave a speech to students about to start their degrees.
He said: “Don’t be afraid to wander into a space you don’t understand, as long as you bring compassion with you. Be willing to stretch. Be a little unrealistic.
“Be a little delusional even, in the pursuit of happiness and fulfilment.”;;
And as a note of advice from myself, don’t spend your entire degree getting drunk, because it really will bite you on the arse in your final year.

“They hired a rooftop bar in LA and his parents Tim Healy and were there, along with one of his aunts and Gab’s family.
“Matty and Gab are so excited about tying the knot and this was a really special celebration with the people they love the most.”;;
Next month, Matty’s band are headlining on the Friday night and it’s going to be a family affair there too.
