Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher has insisted that he no longer has a relationship with his brother, Noel.

The singer, who formed Beady Eye after the guitarist quit Oasis in2009, said his new project was his main focus and that he had no intention to reunite with his brother.

"We don't need him," Gallagher told the Irish Times.

"Let's be clear about one thing here - this band is not a stop gap until me and our kid bump into each other. Him and me are over and done with. This is the real deal."

Noel Gallagher is understood to be putting the finishing touches to his debut studio album.

Beady Eye are currently on their first full tour of the UK and Ireland.
