He said: "Someone had to knock Taylor Swift off her perch".
He added that there had been so many rumours over the years, and with both brothers having their own solo careers, he didn't really think it would happen.
He explained that he had been to see them every time they came to Ireland from 2000 until 2009, and after that, their solo tours took the brunt out of the break up.
"They are working class people and write the songs people want to hear.
"No matter where you play an Oasis song, whether it's 7am or midnight, everyone know the words. They're just people’s people".
The Manchester-born brothers have Irish parents. Their mother Peggy is from Charlestown in Co Mayo, and their father Tommy is from Duleek in Co Meath.
Oasis first played in Ireland in the Tivoli Theatre in Dublin in September 1994, and brought their What's The Story Morning Glory tour to The Point in 1996.
John Finan, who runs JJ Finan’s pub in Charlestown, said the Gallagher family, including their maternal grandmother, are frequent visitors to his bar.
He said that Liam sang in his pub one night during a trad session.
"They are two very talented lads and they have done very well for themselves. I’m delighted for them.
"Liam sang (at the pub) one night during a session. He sang a song with us. It was a big honour to have a man like him singing in my pub.
"I know their mother Peggy and the sister.
"They (the Gallaghers) would have been regulars around the town over the summers.
"The family were very good to me, my wife and son.
"The brothers are very modest and two gentlemen. They said they liked the pub and came in to us an odd time.
"It’s good to see them back together again and I hope they stay together."
