Noel Gallagher, who played Dublin's O2 on Friday night and appeared on The Late Late Show, says he’s "jealous" of his brother Liam's new band Beady Eye, because he wishes guitarist Gem Archer had joined his solo venture.

"I should have had custody of Gem, and I'm ******* jealous that he's in Beady Eye and not in High Flying Birds, I've gotta say," he told the NME. "He's my mate, but no. I left with dignity and grace and everybody did their own thing."

He added that he doesn't believe a reunion will happen: "I don't think either Oasis or The Smiths will reform. I think Morrissey and Marr, probably, but I don't think The Smiths will ever reform. And Oasis, at the moment, no. Morrissey and Johnny Marr is probably more on the cards."

Gallagher discussed the Oasis breakup with Ryan Tubridy on Friday night and had a quiet night after his show at the 02.
