Rumours have been rife for a week of their demise after they pulled out of a headline V Festival appearence but it came to an end with another pull out headling a festival in Paris last night minutes before they were due to hit the stage after a furious fight.
OASIS - SLIDE AWAY FROM KNEBWORTH 1996 - I WAS THERE!!!
On their official website, Noel posted, "It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer. Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz, and Milan”.
Question is - will he? This has happened before (in 2000) and they carried on but they are a group in demise and loved only for their live shows rather than their latest music offerings by many, myself included.
In their time, Beatles imitators or not, they were immense and a live experience like no other. I've seen them perform a few times including their major Knewborth headline shows in 1996 at at a time when their music was vital. Since then, they have stayed mainstream but their records have been more cliche-ridden radio friendly anthemic formula and got progressively less interesting.
It's hard to say what the future holds for Liam but Noel is more than talented enough to go his own way.
