The Oasis UK tour afterparty was almost as star-studded as the gigs themselves — even if frontman Liam Gallagher skipped the shindig.
Noel Gallagher was spotted celebrating the band’s final UK shows at favourite celebrity haunt, Chiltern Firehouse, in London on Sunday night.
The guitarist, 58,was joined by plenty of famous faces, including Lily Allen, while his brother — and Lily’s one-time fling — skipped the evening.
Liam, 53, had ditched the themed drinks for a quiet night with his partner Debbie Gwyther, reportedly to rest his voice.
Despite missing one of the stars, the party saw plenty of big-name guests on the list, including Liam’s son Gene, Matt Smith, Lily James, and Poppy Delevingne.
The Chiltern Firehouse is one of Noel’s favourite venues and has reopened just in time for this celebration after a fire broke out Valentine’s Day earlier this year.
Noel and friends were said to be making the most of the ‘unlimited Supersonic cocktails’ and catering while Liam kept things low-key.
The She’s Electric singer avoided a potentially awkward encounter with Lily, as the pair once slept together after getting ‘hammered on a plane’.
Lily, 40, revealed in her autobiography, My Thoughts Exactly, that they joined the mile-high club together on their way to Japan in 2009.
‘We got hammered on the plane,’ she wrote. ‘At some point, Liam and I found ourselves together in the toilet doing something that he shouldn’t have been doing, and it wasn’t drugs.
‘Then we were in a lie-down bed together. When we landed in Tokyo, Liam said, in his distinctive nasal twang, “What you doing now? Why don’t you come back to our hotel”… I was like, “Yeah, OK”.’
Their romance was short-lived as Liam had been married to All Saints singer Nicole Appleton at the time — which Lily remembered once they’d landed.
It’s all water under the bridge now though as Lily was seen partying with his brother to celebrate the final Oasis shows in the UK.
While Liam opted out of the wild night at Chiltern Firehouse, he was said to have toasted with Noel and their beloved mum Peggy at a Wembley afterparty.
The Cigarettes & Alcohol singer has reportedly cut back on drinking in a bid to be in better health for the tour.
Now that the US and UK shows have ended, Oasis will go international with dates across the world until their last dates in November.
However, Liam teased they may not be done with the UK yet as he declared, ‘See you next year’ while on stage at the stadium.
Noel was said to be ‘chuffed’ by the tour and the afterparty, with the formerly feuding brothers now ‘in a great place’.
A source told The Sun: ‘Liam’s decided to have a low-key celebration with Debbie instead. They’re planning an early-ish night because he can’t afford to get ill or for his voice to be damaged.
‘Noel wants Liam to be there but knows so much more is resting on Liam and he needs to take it easy where he can.
‘He was devastated when Chiltern Firehouse burnt down last year and told them he wanted to throw a party as soon as they were back up and running and this is the perfect opportunity. There will be catering and unlimited Supersonic cocktails.’
