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 .
