Liam Gallagher Says Oasis Feud With Noel 'Isn't Over'
Liam Gallagher has confirmed that his dispute with his brother Noel over the circumstances surrounding the break up of Oasis has yet to be resolved.
Last week Liam announced he was to sue his older brother over what he claims were "lies" about the reasons the band split in 2009.
In a statement the singer said he had "been left with no choice but legal action" and demanded an apology.
Noel has since said in a web chat that the feud was "silly".
But now, speaking to Newsbeat, Liam Gallagher said: "It's not over yet. There are a few things which need to be sorted out.
"I didn't want this to happen. It's not nice suing your family but like I said, he was telling porkies for the sake of his mates and journalists to get a wise crack on me.
"I ain't having that. I ain't a fraud and this band ain't a fraud.
"If he listens to his lawyers and does the right thing then it'll be well and truly over. I never wanted it to happen but it has to happen."
Future plans
Liam Gallagher was speaking ahead of headlining the NME/Radio 1 stage at this weekend's Reading and Leeds festivals.
"I want to go and do the Beady Eye thing," he said. "I'm sure he wants to do his thing but these things don't get solved overnight. He'll stand his ground and I'll stand mine."
The singer, who formed Beady Eye after Noel Gallagher left Oasis in summer 2009, said that the fan base of his new outfit was growing.
"People are coming around to us slowly but surely," he said.
"You can see the people who've heard the record and you can see the people who've heard it on the radio, obviously not that much, or on the TV."
The band also confirmed details of their future plans.
They will spend the rest of 2011 touring in places including Japan, Europe and South America.
In the new year they'll record their second album and say they hope to have it released by summer 2012.
"We were thinking of the second album before we were thinking about the first one," said Liam Gallagher. "That's the way we do it around our way.
"The first album was making sure we got back out there, back in the ring.
"The rug was pulled from under us as far as I'm concerned.
"We put everything into that album but without a doubt the second album will be better.
"The way I see it is you hit 'em with two great albums then get out of peoples' faces as much as for yourself and the public.
"Have a bit of a break, come back with the third album and then the fourth. Two albums out, two albums out. In an ideal world that would be great."

Liam is either an idiot or a punk. Noel will miss him on stage but has realized it is not worth it to stick around. noel needs another singer and to move on with people that are as mature and as talented as he is. Liam is a sloppy hack that Noel ended up having to put up with until now. i hate to say i don't want my favorite band to reunite but i hope Noel wont have to carry the weight of him and achieves greatness again for himself.
I think your hard on for noel has diverted some of the blood away from your brain.
Noel is in the wrong and his manipulation of the press is shamefull, whats more he's turning his back on the fans who got him to where he is, the potency of the songs has been diluted and the hardcore are left with their dicks swinging in the wind.
Noel used to be tropicana and now he's squash.
Noel is a clever and political person. He successfully makes use of Liam for publicity of his debut.
Liam is so pure and loves Noel too much. It is easy for Noel to manipulate Liam this time as always. Noel has certainly BPD.
"He successfully makes use of Liam for publicity of his debut."
WHAT?! Look at the interviews of the last two years and you'll see who is using whom for publicity.
