Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn put two decades of Britpop animosity behind them last night (March 23), when they performed together at the Teenage Cancer Trust fundraiser gig at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Gallagher once famously claimed that he wished Blur's Albarn would "get AIDS and die", while Albarn had replied: "I can't make up with Noel. Britpop would be over and heaven forbid that we'd ever admit we'd all grown up!" But the pair have been meeting up over the past few years, and were happy to pose together for photos at the Brit Awards last month.

Their new relationship was cemented last night, as Gallagher joined Albarn on stage for a performance of Blur's 'Tender'.

Gallagher has curated this week's series of shows at the grand London venue, and it had long been rumoured that he was set to collaborate with his former rock rival. But tonight's joint performance still drew surprise from the audience at the sold-out show, as Albarn started saying "Noel? Noel?" during his scheduled performance with Blur bandmate Graham Coxon, Paul Weller and American author Michael Horowitz.

Gallagher then emerged to cheers as he played guitar for a performance of Blur's 'Tender' with Albarn on guitar and vocals, Coxon on guitar and vocals and Weller on drums. The ex-Oasis man had joked to NME the night before that he wanted to play 'Tender' with Albarn because it was "easy" to play on guitar.
