It's been an emotional 24 hours for Oasis fans - with not only Liam Gallagher teasing that he'd be returning to music, but with a special anniversary edition of Be Here Now also announced.
Since the less than amicable split of Oasis before Beady Eye came to an end, Liam has largely spent his time away from music squabbling with brother Noel. The pair have been embroiled in a bitter feud about who is a 'potato' and who is 'irrelevant'.This comes after Liam was forced to apologise for sending homophobic Tweets about the recent Euro football riots - before one fan went as far to get them tattooed on him.
But last night, he sparked interest when he suggested that he'd be making his return to the music scene.
Be afraid you so called troubadours and you plastic rock n rollers give your paper crown 1 last cuddle coz I'm on my way LG X

Whether this means music with a new band (he recently said solo albums are for 'dickheads') remains to be seen, but Oasis have however announced the reissue of Be Here Now.
The fastest-selling album on release in UK history, Oasis' third record will be given the deluxe treatment, and comes remastered with previously unreleased demoes and rare tracks from the era - and is launched by Noel Gallagher's new remix of 'D'You Know What I Mean'. Check it out below.
"As the years went by I'd started to accept that the songs on ‘Be Here Now’ were in fact insanely long... too long!," says Noel. "Someone (I can't remember who) had the idea that we re-visit, re-edit the entire album for posterity’s sake. We got as far as the first track before we couldn't be arsed anymore and gave up....it does sound fucking mega though!”"
Be Here Now will be re-released on 7 October on vinyl, CD and download. Check out the tracklist of the various formats below.
