Noel, Liam Gallagher want same bandmates

Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are reportedly competing for the same musicians to back them on their respective solo ventures.

The guitarist and singer parted ways after splitting up their group Oasis. Both now want to work with former band members Andy Bell and Gem Archer, a source told The Sun.

"It's a tricky situation for Gem and Andy. They are working with both Liam and Noel. Liam's begun rehearsing tracks for his new project, while Noel has been doing demos of songs as well," the source said.

"It's great for Gem and Andy, though. They get paid twice, but it's bound to lead to trouble in the future."

Oasis split last year.
