One Last Dispute

It's been fifteen years since the band broke up. On Friday, August 28, 2009, at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, the siblings had exploded. The brothers allegedly insulted each other and even fought in the dressing room. Liam allegedly broke his brother's guitar, the last straw that prompted Noel to leave, unable to put on a show. Shortly after this scene, Noel announced that he was leaving the band on his official website: “It is with some sadness and great relief that I tell you that I am leaving Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they want, but there is no way I can continue working with Liam for one more day.”

At a press conference in 2011, Noel Gallagher claimed that the row started after Liam demanded that an advert for his clothing line Pretty Green be included in their tour, which Noel reportedly refused. Tensions had been high since before and that night was the straw that broke the camel's back. In an interview with The Telegraph in 2019, Liam said the group didn't last because his brother wanted to be the only one be able to write the songs. 

The brothers had then released albums each on their own, but the success of which has never matched that of Oasis. After repeated barbs on social networks for years, their relationship seems to have calmed down. The idea of ​​a reunion was even floated by Liam back in 2017 and it is finally starting to come to fruition. “Noel and Liam will never be best friends, but they want to bring Oasis back for the fans. They are not getting any younger and the demand is huge. They have decided it is now or never.” , a assuredé a source close to the group at Sun.
