Last year, Liam posted a major hint towards an Oasis reunion, reaching out to his elder brother for a 'cuddle', while declaring: 'Oasis till I die.'
He wrote: 'Listen I love Rkid he’s going through a lot of snizxle at the moment and it’ll work itself out he knows where I am if he needs a cuddle n a hug Oasis till I die LG x'
The cryptic message received over 20,000 likes as fans began to get their hopes up of long-awaited tour dates.
Liam is a guest on the show alongside John Squire to discuss their brand new album, which is set to reach the number one spot in the official charts this week.
Revealing how they came to work together, Liam explained: 'Down Knebworth, John came down to play on one of the tunes at the end.
'So in the rehearsals leading up to it, I hadn't seen him for ages, so I said 'what have you been up to?' and he said ''I've been writing some tunes.'' I said ''Who's singing them?'' and he went ''well, you are.'' And I was gonna have a year off and that, you know what I mean? So it's his fault.'
Asked who his first choice was for the songs, Liam said to John 'you were looking out for a girl weren't ya? And then you ended up with this sort'. John jokes: 'Yeah, I need new management!'
Explaining why they wanted to work together, John said: 'We know each other's music knowledge inside out, I knew we'd always be on the same page.'

During the recording process, John revealed a miscommunication they had: 'It was a song for the demo. I had to sing it in a really high pitch just to get it down and I knew he'd do a much better job of it.'
Revealing it wasn't ever meant to be sung that high, he explained Liam was quick to see the funny side when he heard the recording: 'Not long after that he sent me a Bee Gee's clip'
Liam admitted John was part of the reason he wanted to start his own band: 'I was always inspired by John's band, do you know what I mean? He was the first band I ever went to see, The [Stone] Roses.
'I was 15, 16 and that was it, it changed my life,' he added that after that he knew 'All I've got to do now is learn how to sing'
When The Stone Roses ended John said: 'I think I carried on writing songs, actually got another band together, The Seahorses, then had loads of kids' Liam joked about the ending of Oasis: 'I just went to the pub'
Explaining their new album, Liam reveals how the last track on the album, titled Mother Nature's Song is about reconnecting with nature, saying: 'I'm digging it me man, as you get older, I like walking the dog and that around the woods, it's nice that. I'm the new Goldilocks'
Switching to the topic of animals, Liam told Jonathan he's recently adopted a dog called Buttons from Thailand. Liam says he's so attached to Buttons, he can't be away from her, 'Yeah it's terrible man, I don't wanna go on tour no more I wanna stay at home with her.'
During the interview, Jonathan also discussed Liam and John's tour starting Wednesday in Glasgow, around the UK and ending up in New York.
The Jonathan Ross Show airs on Saturday at 9:35pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
