"I think there's more chance of sorting out the Middle East than mediating between the Gallagher brothers ... But they're incredible. They are both part of Oasis. And Liam and Noel are incredible," Bono said.

Noel was the support act for U2 for their special tour marking the 30th anniversary of 'The Joshua Tree' album, and Bono has heaped praise on the 50-year-old guitarist comparing him to music legends Paul McCartney and The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson.

"

Noel Gallagher

- He's an extraordinary force. You forget because he's so understated. This is one of the greats, this is like Brian Wilson, or, this is like Paul McCartney, or just like Ray Davies."

"He's right up there. And having him around is fun too and we get in to similar trouble. He's very Irish really."
