Beady Eye cover Blur's Country House for Record Store Day single
After years of slagging each other off, Liam Gallagher has offered an olive branch to Damon Albarn as Beady Eye cover Blur for a new single.

Gallagher's new band Beady Eye have recorded their own version of Blur's Country House with only 3,000 copies available to buy.
The former Oasis frontman admitted to NME that he's always had a soft spot for the tune even though it beat Roll With It to the number one spot in 1995 in the bands' much-hyped chart battle.
Gallagher said: 'The chart battle was only a bit of a f***ing laugh and secretly Country House was always my favourite Blur song. Especially the bit in the video when Alex James rides the pig.'
'I'm saying all this bad blood between us should be put in the past and everyone should come together to help out Record Store Day for the good of music.'
The limited-edition singles are priced Ģ50 each and are being tipped as collector items.
They will be available to buy in record stores in both Gallagher's hometown of Manchester and New Cross in London, where Blur formed, with proceeds going to Beady Eye and Albarn.
Liam's brother Noel famously told The Observer at the height of the Oasis and Blur feud that: 'I hate that Alex (James) and Damon. I hope they catch Aids and die.'
He was later forced to apologise for his comments.
