On This Day In Oasis History...

The videos below are from March 23rd 2000, when Oasis played at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belguim.

Liam & Noel Gallagher's Mother Refused To Let Her Sons Buy Her A House

Noel Gallagher's mother was too proud to move out of her modest home when her sons hit the big time and would only accept the gift of a new gate.

Gallagher and his brother Liam shot to fame in the mid-1990s with their band Oasis following the release of their huge hit debut album Definitely Maybe, which went on to sell eight million copies.

The brothers offered to move their mother Peggy out of her house, which was provided by the local council, and into a palatial property, but she refused and only let her rich sons treat her to a new garden gate.

He tells the Bbc, "She gave it all up for us. I think she has great karma and two of her children became two of the biggest rock stars that England ever produced.

"All she got was a new garden gate from us. Liam offered to buy her a castle... but the gate at her council house had been squeaking and she wanted that fixed.

"She still lives there and we changed it and put a gold number 5 on the gate."

Noel Gallagher Will Speak To Liam - When He Isn't So "Busy"

Noel Gallagher will speak to Liam - when he isn't so "busy".

The High Flying Birds star quit Oasis in 2009 following a back-stage fight in Paris, and hasn't spoken to his brother since.

Libel lawsuits ensued on both sides and while those have since been dropped, Noel insists he has no plans to make friends just yet - much to mum Peggy's disappointment.

He said: "There is no contact of any significance, to my mother's disgust. But we are big boys now. She can't tell us what to do forever.

"It's not the last time I'm ever going to speak to him. Of course I'm going to speak to him again but I'm busy."

In an interview with BBC4, the 44-year-old Don't Look Back in Anger hitmaker - who has daughter Anais, 12, from his first marriage to Meg Mathews and sons Donovan, four, and 17-month-old Sonny with wife Sara MacDonald - admits he didn't know how to be a good father until recently.

He explained: "I had never seen a good example of any parenting until I met Sara, who is an incredible mother to the children.

"I have learnt so much from her as she has great parents. Her mum and dad have been married for 150 years or something and they are still together. And she takes that and brings that to our children.

"I come from a dysfunctional family. I'm good with the kids now but at first, with my older daughter, I didn't have the tools instinctively."

Talking about his own estranged father Thomas, who separated from his mum when Noel was 15, he added: "I don't think of my father at all. It's his loss, not mine."

Noel Gallagher: Wife Taught Me How To Be Better Dad

Rock star Noel Gallagher has revealed he struggled with fatherhood and family – until second wife Sara MacDonald taught him how real families work.

The ex Oasis star, whose dad left mum Peggy to bring up him and brothers Liam and Paul, admits he didn't know how to parent.

Speaking in BBC4's Mark Lawson Talks To Noel Gallagher, the dad of three said: "I had never seen a good example of any parenting until I met Sara, who is an incredible mother to the children."

Noel has two sons with Sara — Donovan, four, and Sonny, 17 months — and daughter Anais, 12, with first wife Meg Mathews.

He added: "I have learnt so much from her as she has great parents. Her mum and dad have been married for 150 years or something and they are still together. And she takes that and brings that to our children.

Noel Gallagher: 'Stone Roses Reunion Is Going To Be Mega'

'They're great musicians with great songs', says Gallagher.

Noel Gallagher has said The Stone Roses' Heaton Park reunion gigs are "going to be mega".

The former Oasis man has said he is looking forward to the historic gigs, which are due to take place on June 29, 30 and July 1, and says they'll be a huge success as long as "it doesn't rain".

Gallagher said the group will have no problem living up to expectations as "they're great musicians, with great songs and them coming back is going to be mega." A sentiment backed by The Smiths' Johnny Marr who said the band won't disappoint as "they're not the sort of band who will ever let their audience down".

This week marks the 100-day countdown to The Stone Roses' Manchester Heaton Park reunion triple-header, something their musical peers have been speaking out about.

Happy Mondays' Bez said he had spoken to The Stone Roses' Mani who told him he was " really buzzing" for the shows. He added: "I haven't heard any of their new stuff but I'm sure we will very soon. I wouldn't miss those Heaton Park gigs for the world."

For more on the 100-day countdown to The Stone Roses' Heaton Park reunion gigs, including some classic tales from John Robb's unauthorised Stone Roses book The Stones Roses And The Resurrection Of British Pop:The Reunion, pick up the new issue of NME, which is on UK newsstands and available digitally now.

The shortlist for the honour features 60 people, including Liam & Noel Gallagher, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, Joe Strummer, Madonna, Alex Turner, Morrissey, Bjork, Patti Smith, Matt Bellamy and over 50 others.

To vote now, head to NME.COM/ultimateicon.

Reading/Leeds Organiser Hoping For Oasis Reunion

Reading/Leeds organiser Melvin Benn has said he wants Oasis to reunite at some point in the future, but hopes the decision isn’t made too soon.

“Hopefully there will come a day when Oasis do reunite but I hope it doesn’t come too soon,” Benn told NME. “Oasis were just one of those bands where you walked away feeling happy. It was very rare you could go and watch Oasis and not have a great time. Whether we wait until 2015, 2020 or 2040 I don’t know, but it’d be nice if it happened at some point.”

However, Benn was less enthusiastic about the prospect of Oasis’ fellow Manchester leading lights The Smiths reforming, stating his belief that it would ‘destroy their legacy’.

“I think if The Smiths reformed it would destroy their legacy personally,” he added. “I’m sure grown men would cry if it happened but I wouldn’t want to see them reforming.”

Benn’s Reading/Leeds twin festivals will this year be headlined by the Foo Fighters, Kasabian and The Cure.

Noel Gallagher On Neighbour Paul Weller

Noel Gallagher could never trust leaving his keys with his neighbour Paul Weller.

The rockers live close-by in London but despite being regulars in each other's houses, the former Oasis star admitted he doesn't ask his pal to water his plants when he heads of on tour.

Noel said: "Can you imagine leaving the keys with Weller?

"You'd come back and the fridge would be gone.

"He would say, 'All right mate – it got a bit messy round at yours didn't it?

"'We drank the cat, sold the car and smashed the telly up. But I expect I will be forgiven'. And I would be like, 'Oh yeah thanks mate'."

That's a glowing reference.
