Liam and Noel Gallagher performing together today as Oasis frontman updates fans
The first full Oasis rehearsals is taking place today - with Liam Gallagher reuniting with the rest of the band at a secret location and declaring he is 'loving life'. Frontman Liam was so excited about playing music with brother Noel Gallagher he was up at 6am replying to fans on X, formerly twitter, and told them rehearsals were happening.
A second source also confirmed the band were meeting again today, having already started band rehearsals without Liam last month.
It will be the first time Liam and Noel have played music together and performed together since 2009 - and comes just a month before they will hit the stage for fans in a giant UK tour.
Liam told fans he was feeling 'biblical' but said he would not be posing for photos outside the rehearsal studios. He said: 'You won't see me I'm not a poser, I'll be in and out.'
He also told another fan: 'I'm fine, loving life, how about you?'
The first photos of the band leaving rehearsals in London were published in May. They showed Noel Gallagher, Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Gem Archer and Andy Bell who will play guitars in the massive sold out gigs, with Andy on bass.
The band also has new members in keyboard player Christian Madden and drummer JoeyWaronker on drums. He has played with Liam before on a tour but never in Oasis.
Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together in public, since the band split nearly two decades ago, on July 4 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Dublin as part of the tour.
Noel, 57, quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer", and the brothers had made negative comments about each other for more than a decade.
That all changed with the announcement of the tour in August last year. The pair posed for several photos together confirming the band's long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying: "The great wait is over."
In April Live Forever by Oasis was crowned the best British song of all time in a new poll ahead of the band's highly-anticipated reunion tour this summer.
The Manchester band led by Noel and Liam Gallagher had an incredible 16 tracks in the top 100 results by Radio X. As well as Live Forever, 'Don't Look Back In Anger,' 'Slide Away' and 'Champagne Supernova' also made the top 10.
It was Radio X's 10 th annual Best Of British with B&Q poll.

Christopher Eccleston has been filming in Newport
While residents of Newport may see a film crew swarming landmarks in Newport and immediately think of Doctor Who, this production is entirely different. Welsh production company Hello Deer are currently filming in John Frost Square Newport Central Library, producing a new feature film titled 'About a Bell'. 'About a Bell' is an independent film about Sami, a Syrian refugee, and Bryony, a young librarian, who embark on a highly personal quest to preserve a bell from a demolished church. Listings on IMDB detail that Sami is played by comedian Omid Djalili, and Bryony will be played by Eleanor Worthington-Cox. This main duo will be joined by some giants of British acting including Doctor Who star and Emmy Award Winner Christopher Eccleston, Jonathan Rhodes and Scot Williams. Though the public may not be allowed into the library today, it would be safe to assume that it has been entirely taken over by cameras and crew. This stellar cast will be directed by BAFTA nominee and star of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' Simon Callow, who is making his first foray into directing since the 1990s. Unlike most other film crews this one is very small and only employs around 40 people, but staff on set feel that this is the best way to operate. Location assistant Matthew Marais, 25, said: 'I think they want to film in Newport as it's a city that's been developed. 'These independent films are the best kind of jobs because everyone cares so much more. If its someone's passion project, like this, then everybody wants to try harder to bring it to life.' Rehearsals for the film began last week in Newport, inside the company's production office on the other side of the river from today's filming location. In a cryptic post on Instagram, viewers were shown two of Newport's infamous bridges that any dedicated resident would recognise. Filming will take place around Newport and Cardiff, before the production moves to Belgium to complete filming in a few weeks. The production itself is set in Newport, so residents are sure to see parts of the much-loved city they call home throughout the film when it is released. There is no release date announced for the production yet.

It features an Oasis logo on the front and on the reverse a tambourine, with writing that reads 'Purchased in Manchester in '94. Appears on the cover of Supersonic. Has been played on EVERY Oasis track Ever.'- NG. Reviewers have recommended sizing down, as it is not true to size and rather baggy. One person said: "I loved the look of this shirt, it was very soft and the fabric was of a great quality, however the shirt itself was too large (not true to size), and for that reason I would recommend buying these types of shirts in store as it'll be easier to find a size that doesn't look too baggy" However if you like a baggier fit to your clothes, go for your normal size, much like other reviewers. One said: "So lucky to get my hands on this piece! Bought for my partner who is 6'4', quite lanky and prefers baggier and longer fitting t-shirts. Size XL was the perfect fit. Lovely feel to the fabric and heavier quality than expected for the price, win win!"
