Legends of rock and roll for the past two decades, british-rock icons Oasis are calling it quits. After hostile disputes between brothers Noel and Liam, these singersongwriters are splitting ways, leaving behind dozens of epic rock recordings.
The final breakup of the Britpop band Oasis loomed large Saturday after
Noel Gallagher announced he was quitting amid differences with his younger brother Liam. Noel Gallagher’ s statement on the Oasis website late Friday meant the band’ s second concert cancellation in the space of a week, with the group supposed to have performed Friday evening in Paris.
It also left fans in Konstanz, Germany, and in Milan holding tickets for concerts now unlikely to take place.“ It’ s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight,” the 42-yearold lead guitarist and band founder said in a statement on Oasis’ website.
“ People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on
“ It takes more than blood to be my brother”
working with Liam a day longer,” he said about his 36-year-old brother and the band’ s vocalist.
“ Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan.”
The cancellation of the performance at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris followed an announcement by the Manchester group that there had been“ an altercation within the band.”
Last weekend, the band pulled out of the V Festival in Chelmsford, the reason given being that Liam Gallagher was suffering viral laryngitis. But the pullout set off rumours throught the industry that the band was about to split up.
