United Kingdom, June 23 -- Noel and Liam Gallagher's mother was the "instigator" of their reconciliation.

The brothers hadn't spoken since Oasis split following a series of rows in 2009 but they are currently preparing for their reunion tour, and though Peggy Gallagher urged them to put their differences aside, she insisted she couldn't have made them do anything they didn't want to do.

She told Ireland's Mail on Sunday newspaper: "I was the instigator, yes. But sure, wasn't it always going to happen at some time or other?

"It was their choice, of course.

"Look you can't force them to do things they don't want to do.

"You just have to say, 'Get on with it' and I said that."
