Noel Gallagher quit Oasis tonight (August 28).

Following the Manchester band's cancelled show at the Paris Rock en Seine festival this evening, he posted the following statement on Oasisinet.com.

"It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight," he wrote. "People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with [singer, his brother] Liam a day longer."

The band pulled out of the Paris show just before they were due on stage, with organizers allegedly displaying a message explaining an "altercation" had caused the cancellation.

In order for Americans to be surprised that Oasis had broken up, wouldn't we first have to be aware that they were still together in the first place?

Looks like a solo record is due for Noel; I'm interested enough to listen to at least one or two songs when they come out.
Wonder if it will still sound like the Beatles??

I only ever really heard one of their albums (the one with "Wonderwall" on it) it was alright for mid 90's BritPop. Obviously Beatle influenced. When Liam didn't even bother to show up for their MTV unplugged episode back then, and Noel did fine without him, I figured their days as a band were extremely short back then, and indeed I am surprised to hear they were still around.

Bands with brothers in them seem to fall into one of two camps.... they either hate each other (The Kinks & Oasis) or hate everyone else in the band (Eddie & Alex)

I think Noel's future songs will be good without Liam, though Liam has a good trashy rock voice for a lot of Oasis songs they released in the past.
Rock and Roll Star and Do You Know What I Mean come to mind.

I haven't listened to them as much lately, but I consider myself a fan of Oasis and loved them in the 90s. But yeah, they went from being on the cusp of super-stardom to being another big name band that couldn't quite turn it up to 11 to get them over the cliff...

It's too bad though; their guitar driven songs are just great rock and roll whatever you want to call it stylistically. But they've effectively have been on and off again for a decade, so this isn't really big news. Still kind of sad though, I was hoping they'd sort of mount a comeback and show some of these Emo-pansies how it's done...

Good for him! Fuckin Liam always has to have subtitles on the screen during interviews, even though he's speaking english. Or he might be speaking pikey for all we know.

Defined all that 90's supercilious-labeled "Britpop" (e.g. Suede, Blur, Pulp) with the most American commercial success that went to their heads and never left; bloated, over-paid, over-rated with lack of ideas. This isn't news. Oasis broke up back in 2001 and have been recording corporate contract albums ever since. Chances are their label dropped them after 15 years with a less than handful of singles. Noel is not John Lennon, Paul Weller or even Damon Albarn no matter how much he parades himself off to be so if he barks off on a solo career it'll be just that - him without his drunken, mic-hugging, monotonous-singing brother. In other words, Oasis recording without the Oasis name.

They sucked all along.

Isn't this the 50th time they've broken up just before a gig?

They break up more than the WHO have farewell tours.....

[hideyoursheep]

Oasis?

Never heard of them.



I hear The Mighty Bosstones are planning a comeback?

I wish I could write like that.

All coherent and thinkie..like, words that string together and have meaning, easily understood by the reader.
