Noel Gallagher says there will be no Oasis reunion next year but there will be a new album from the band.
Hopes had been growing that the brothers could be heading for a truce after Noel, 55, urged Liam, 50, to pick up the phone and chat if he was serious about reforming Oasis.
But Noel has quashed hopes for a reunion to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album Definitely Maybe.
However, he has promised a special release of the iconic album which will feature a host of previously lost songs from the recording sessions.
These include acoustic versions of classics such as Live Forever, Slide Away and Supersonic. He said: “In the Sony archives we’ve found tapes dating to those sessions. We thought they were lost, but they were mislabelled. They are wonderful versions of those songs, some acoustic versions.”
But he told Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera: “There won’t be a tour, we won’t come back to play them together.”
Noel knew when he wrote Live Forever that the band would be huge.

He said: “We were nobody. I was in a flat in Manchester on a Tuesday afternoon. I took it to rehearsal and Bonehead said, ‘You didn’t write that.’ I knew it’d be a classic.”
Last month he said Liam just has to “get his people to call my people” about a reunion.
Replying to a query on reuniting on Twitter in March, Liam said: “It’s happening.”
