Liam and Noel Gallagher have started speaking again - almost three years since Oasis split.
The brothers have been estranged ever since Noel quit the group following a backstage bust-up - during which Liam attacked his older sibling with a guitar - at a Paris music festival in August 2009.
But their mutual joy at their favourite football club Manchester City - which they have supported since childhood - winning the English Premier League title has thawed relations between the warring pair and they have now spoken and have also exchanged "friendly" text messages.
A friend of the pair told the Daily Express newspaper: "They were both over the moon when City won and messages were exchanged. It took something like that to break the ice and they've also been in touch since by text."
The pair are still yet to meet, but it is hoped this initial contact could be the start of them reconciling their relationship.
