Noel Gallagher donated royalties from Oasis hit to Manchester victims before bro called him a 'sad f--k'
The Gallagher brothers formerly of Oasis still look back in anger, but one thing they can agree on is a good cause — sort of.
After Liam Gallagher slammed his brother and former bandmate Noel for not showing up to the One Love Manchester benefit concert, it was revealed that Noel has been quietly donating the proceeds from the hit "Don't Look Back in Anger" to families of the victims.
British Radio X DJ Gordon Smart defended Noel, whom Liam called a "sad f--k" for not actually performing at the show.
"It's only right to point out and I don't think this is public knowledge because I'm sure he would never [have] mentioned it, but I found out today that as soon as 'Don't Look Back In Anger' started to appear spontaneously at the vigils, he made sure all the royalties went to the families," Smart shared with his listeners. "That was before any gig was mentioned."
During the concert on Sunday, Chris Martin of Coldplay performed the band's hits side-by-side with Liam as Noel spent the weekend out of the country.
"Noels out of the f--king country weren't we all love get on a f--king plane and play your tunes for the kids you sad f--k," Liam wrote on Twitter Monday.
The two brothers, who rose to fame after forming Oasis in Manchester in 1991, have been feuding since 2009 after canceling a gig at V Festival.
Noel wrote on the band's website at the time that he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."
The band has yet to play together since so it's no surprise they didn't reunite for the One Love Manchester show.
Noel also said in an interview with Q Magazine in 2015 that they wouldn't do a reunion gig for charity — only if money was on the table.
Martin attempted to remedy the drama between the brothers with a series of tweets after the Manchester show.
"Thank you @noelgallagher for giving your blessing and encouragement to play don't look back in anger and live forever on sunday," the "Paradise" singer wrote.
And without leaving out Liam, he continued, "Thank you @liamgallagher, that was awesome x cm + jb."
