Liam Gallagher compares brother Noel to Tony Blair

Liam Gallagher has branded his brother and former Oasis bandmate Noel Gallagher "the Tony Blair of rock 'n' roll".

The 38-year-old singer-songwriter made the jibe during Beady Eye's iTunes Festival gig at London's Roundhouse on Tuesday night, hours before Noel unveiled his new album Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

"The people that go, 'Oh, Beady Eye is not Oasis,' well, Noel's music ain't Oasis either," he told the crowd, according to the Daily Star.

"It might remind you of it but there's something missing - f**king me," he added.

Less than 24 hours later, Noel revealed details of the argument in Paris between himself and Liam that lead to the disbandment of Oasis.

Following the revelation, Liam made a rare appearance on social networking site Twitter to simply post: "s**tbag."

Noel Gallagher has also insisted that he will include Oasis tracks as part of his upcoming tour, while Liam's band Beady Eye have always maintained that they would not play any during their live sets,
