Your support makes all the difference.The Oasis singer Liam Gallagher flew to Chicago to rejoin the band yesterday, hoping his brother Noel's view of his dramatic walk- out would be "Don't Look Back In Anger".
Liam, 23, was without his fiancee, Patsy Kensit, but she was due to join the band's 14-date American tour later.
The laryngitis which stopped the star singing has cleared up and he will return to fronting the band in Michigan today.
Despite the brothers' famously volatile relationship, Liam seemed confident he would be welcomed with open arms after speaking to Noel on the telephone.
"Me and Noel are all right. He can't wait to see me," he said as he left Miss Kensit's home in north London.
Confronted by the press at Heathrow yesterday, he responded with his customary obscenities.
"I hate you f****g lot, yet you're always asking me too many things. I'm not a supermodel you know," he said.
Earlier he had defended his walk-out. "It's not petulant. To tell you the truth thousands of fans can wait," he said. "I wasn't happy, I didn't have anywhere to live. I just had to come back and do a bit of packing like you do when you have got a house and you have got to move."
Miss Kensit was not to blame, he insisted. "It wasn't Patsy's fault. She loves me being in a band," he said.
Noel said he would not "give Liam a slap". "We have had enough of slapping each other.You have to support people when they are going through a personal crisis," he said.
