Is a Glastonbury reunion part of the Masterplan for battling brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher who want one last chance to shiiiiiiiiine?
It's time to don your parka, practice your monkey walk, and comb your monobrow - Oasis are getting back together, some might say.
Insiders reckon Liam and Noel could be burying the hatchet for a reunion at Glastonbury.
But now insiders reckon that Peggy Gallagher's youngest boys have shaken hands and made up and Oasis are on for a desperate money making much anticipated reunion.
The Sun reports an Oasis insider saying: "Noel and Liam are on speaking terms again so some kind of a reunion could well be a step closer."
They added: "Liam could certainly do with the money. The cash just isn’t rolling in like it used to but his outgoings are bigger than ever...
“Noel doesn’t need the money but it is hard to turn down the buzz of stepping out on the biggest stages in the world, so who could blame him if he eventually changes his mind?
“It is clear he has fallen back in love with Glastonbury and would love to headline that again.”
Glastonbury festival chief Michael Eavis revealed he’s in constant talks with Noel and Liam – who announced Beady Eye had split last month.
Michael, 79, says: “I do talk to Noel and Liam a lot. Wouldn’t it be marvellous for them to relaunch at Glastonbury, now Liam has split from Beady Eye?”
Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, who played guitar in Oasis from 1991-1999 is now in a band with former Smiths' Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke.
Mirror Celeb bumped into him backstage at a Madchester reunion gig for the 50th birthday of Stone Roses axeman Aziz Ibrahim. When we quizzed him about an Oasis reunion Bonehead said he was "sworn to secrecy."
He told us: "I love Beady Eye. I love Noel's High Flying Birds too. But I can't say anything about a reunion.
"I'm sworn to secrecy."
"Besides, I'd be the last person to know."
"But I might offer to come back as band psychiatrist, wear a white coat and drive a bus!"

Gary Neville was given a signed guitar from former Oasis man Noel Gallagher recently, which is a great piece of memorabilia to have in your collection.
But unfortunately for Manchester United veteran Neville, City-supporting Gallagher signed it in the most City way imaginable and made sure it would have his mark on it forever.
Neville finally tweeted the pictures on Sunday morning:
And on the back was added a message.
Still, not a bad talking point, even if it does feature some personal abuse...

Blur
Damon Albarn
Matt Morgan
Oasis
Russell Brand
Russell Brand has said he will record an Oasis song in response to people who have been likening his recent rants to Blur's Parklife lyrics.
The comedian's tweets containing his thoughts on society have been bombarded by users writing simply "Parklife".
Brand claimed he was not offended by the tweets, but said he was planning to team up with Noel Gallagher to record a version of the Oasis hit Roll With It.
Oasis were famously Blur's chart rivals and had a high-profile battle to top the charts 19 years ago.
In an interview with radio station Magic, Brand said: "I'm a comedian, and I make all my living out of mucking around and talking, and I've certainly tormented people in the past. So yeah, I don't mind that, I think - unless it's malicious."
He pointed out that his sidekick from his old Radio 2 show, Matt Morgan, had similarly said "Parklife" many years ago when he launched into a rant.
Brand went on: "I don't know Damon Albarn particularly, but I've spoken to Noel Gallagher and we plan to respond with a Roll With It single. I'll say 'Roll with it' after every seven words."
The Parklife trend started after the star tweeted: "This attitude of churlish indifference seems like nerdish deference contrasted with the belligerent antipathy of the indigenous farm folk, who regard the hippie-dippie interlopers, the denizens of the shimmering *** temples, as one fey step away from transvestites."
Journalist Dan Barker's response prompted thousands of tweets: "Russell Brand's writing feels like someone is about to shout 'PARKLIFE!' at the end of every sentence."
Blur's song famously features lyrics about getting woken up by dustmen and feeding the pigeons.
Brand said his old pal Gallagher would not be attending his live show at the Royal Albert Hall in London next week.
"I've not invited him, because he's not been supportive enough lately, " he said.
"If he's seen anywhere near the vicinity, I'm going to have someone grab him by the eyebrow, tie a kite to it, and send him off into the ether."

Noel Gallagher believes hallucinogenic mushrooms are superior to music because they provide a longer high than a three-minute pop song.
Noel Gallagher thinks taking hallucinogenic mushrooms is better than music.
The former Oasis star admits he was more interested in taking drugs as a youngster rather than becoming a rock star, especial 'magic' mushrooms that make you have weird visions.
Talking about the suburb of Burnage in Manchester where he was raised, he explained: ''Where I come from, it's not musical at all, although Manchester is, obviously.
''I don't say it to be cool, but we were more into taking drugs and banging around in the park [than listening to music]. Music's great and all that, but it's not as good as mushrooms.''
The 47-year-old musician - who will release his second solo album, 'Chasing Yesterday', on March 2, 2015 - added: ''Pop songs are three minutes long. You get a good six hours out of mushrooms.''
Noel also spoke about his performance with former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr last month at The O2 Brixton Academy, London, admitting that he was suffering on stage after having consumed too much alcohol the previous evening.
Speaking at the 'XFM presents An Evening In Conversation With Noel Gallagher' event, he confessed: ''I don't think I've ever been so f***ing hungover on stage in all my life.
''I was getting a back rub from his wife about two minutes before going on. If somebody had come up to me and said 'You don't have to do this' I would have been, like, 'F***ing, yes.'
''It was my wife's birthday the night before and we'd smashed the arse out of it.''

The festival boss told the Daily Mirror that he'd love the feuding brothers to perform in the headline slot.
He revealed that he's been talking to Noel and Liam - who announced last month that his latest band Beady Eye had split.
Michael said: "I do talk to Noel and Liam a lot. Wouldn't it be marvellous for them to relaunch at Glastonbury, now Liam has split from Beady Eye?"
The 79-year-old, who was speaking after being honoured with the Music Industry Trusts (MITS) Award, also said he'd like to book Taylor Swift for the Sunday afternoon slot.
"Taylor Swift would be great to follow the Dolly Parton slot - especially being a country singer," he said .
But he told the newspaper that it was very unlikely he'd be getting Fleetwood Mac.
The US rock band had been the bookies' favourite to headline next summer.

Oasis
The Smiths
Noel Gallagher has revealed that he was hungover during his recent live performance with Johnny Marr at the O2 Brixton Academy in London last month.
Gallagher had joined Marr on stage during his headline set, performing 'How Soon Is Now' and a cover of Iggy Pop's 'Lust For Life'.
The former Oasis guitarist took part in a Q&A session for XFM radio station yesterday evening (November 3) at the Hammersmith Club in London. Grilled by a panel of interviewers which included Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire, Gallagher discussed his new LP, which is set for release on March 2 next year (2015), plus his recent live team-up with the former Smiths guitarist.
"I don’t think I've ever been so fucking hungover on stage in all my life," he said. "I was getting a back rub from his wife about two minutes before going on stage. If somebody had come up to me and said 'You don't have to do this' I would have been, like, 'Fucking, yes'. It was my wife's birthday the night before and we'd smashed the arse out of it. I forgot I was playing with him. I promised him because he played on my record. He said 'Get up and do 'How Soon Is Now'' and then he drops another song on me on the day. But I did it because I'm a fucking trooper."
"I'd never played 'Lust For Life' before. You forget that you know all the words to it. 'How Soon Is Now' drags on a bit though, doesn't it?"
Gallagher also claimed that Marr has played a pivotal role in his life and career, a fact that he says is often overlooked because of his relationship with his brother and fellow Oasis member, Liam.
Elsewhere during the discussion, Gallagher also revealed how he first met Marr. "During the acid house craze in the late 80s I'd bump into this guy in the Hacienda: didn't know his name or who he was. And we weren't friends, we were just on nodding terms. One day, I bought The The album 'Dusk', which he [Marr] played on. And I bump into this guy I recognize from the Hacienda. He asked me what I bought and he said 'Oh, our kid plays on that.' I said 'Who's your kid?' And he said 'Johnny Marr'. I was like 'Wow'. I told him I was in a band and he said 'Give us a cassette and I'll give it to a kid.' Within an hour, Johnny had called me. And I was a nobody – nobody was into our band, bar the five people in it and a few hangers-on. That was it. But he was on the phone saying 'Ah, I think this is great.' So in many ways he was the first ever fan. Two days later I go for a drink with him. He asked where I get my guitars from. 'Guitars? Guitars? I'll tell you where I got my one guitar from."
Gallagher's upcoming record 'Chasing Yesterday' will be his second solo studio album and features his new single 'In The Heat Of The Moment'. Marr features on the track 'The Ballad Of Mighty I'.
