Noel Quits Oasis After Fight

Oasis have split up after the band pulled out of a second gig this weekend, leaving thousands disappointed at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. A reported "altercation within the band" is to blame for the cancellation.

According to early reports Oasis pulled out just before they were due on stage. Liam smashed Noel's guitar, which resulted in the brothers having a fight. Madness had to step in and take over as the headline act.

Speculation is now rife that Oasis have split up, just hours after former All Saints singer Natalie Appleton said Oasis would never split up.

Oasis Cheques Will Become Collectors Item

Oasis have just refunded almost £1m to 20,000 fans who took advantage of a refund following the first gig at Manchester's Heaton Park on Thursday June 7, where technical difficulties prompted Noel Gallagher to tell fans it would be a "free gig".

Rather than cancel the gig, Oasis waited for the sound problem to be sorted and then played later than any of the other tour dates to make up for the delays. The trouble is - if you offer someone a refund, they will take it. No wonder Noel called them "cheeky c**ts" a few days later as so many applied for a refund.

The Oasis cheques look set to become a collectors item because they are signed by both Noel and Liam Gallagher with a 'Oasis Bank of Burnage' logo at the top and are already fetching quite a good price on websites like eBay. True fans are more likely to keep the cheque as a piece of memorabilia - something that will please the Gallagher brothers as the thought of paying out almost £1 is not a nice thought.

Oasis Gig Ends In Chaos As Band Forced Off Stage

Oasis were forced to abandon their opening home coming gig at Heaton Park in Manchester (June 4) after technical difficulties and an 11pm time curfew. They were playing 'Rock 'N' Roll Star' at the start of their set around 9pm, when sound problems forced them to stop and leave the stage. Crowds were soon booing, according to NME magazine, and when Oasis returned to play 'Lyla' - problems intensified.

A generator failure had technicians frantically working to solve the fault but smoke was seen coming out of the equipment. After 40 minutes the set list could continue with an apology saying, "Really sorry about that," Liam Gallagher told the crowd. "This is a free gig now. Everyone will get a refund."

His brother Noel added: "The curfew's 11, but we'll play 'til they kick us off. Keep your ticket and you'll get your money back." As reported earlier, The Enemy had pulled out of the gig due to food poisoning. Both bands will be back in Manchester on Saturday (June 6) and Sunday (June 7).

Oasis have announced that Coventry band The Enemy and Kasabian will be supporting them on their newly announced stadium tour for June/July 2009. "We always said when we were doing the big super gigs again we would give Kasabian first option, said Noel.

"As for The Enemy I've liked them since their first ever single. So with the three bands on one night if I was 16 or 17 I'd be here."

"To be honest I'm actually really made up with the bill and when you see it in front of you, you just think, 'What a night out!'. I'm just glad I'll be able to get tickets."

The Enemy have been busy in the studio recording their eagerly awaited follow up album, which is due for release in April 2009. They took time out to give their reaction to the news, Tom Clarke warned fans to, "Prepare yourselves for the greatest Rock and Roll show in the world."

Drummer, Liam Watts confessed the tour was, "Something I've always wanted to happen has just become a reality, Buzzing!!" and Bassist Andy Hopkins declared, "This is gonna be f**king amazing - what a line up, cant wait".

Oasis Noel Gallagher Attacked on Stage

Oasis front man Noel Gallagher was attacked onstage during their V Festival performance in Toronto, Canada last night as the video below shows. While Oasis sang "Morning Glory", a man ran on and pushed Noel Gallagher off the stage. The 40 year old singer landed on the speakers and later taken to hospital may have fractured his rib and sustained ligament damage.

Security quickly floored the attacker who was detained in police custody and will be charged with assault, according to the bands website. Immediately following the invasion, Liam Gallagher had to be refrained from retaliating as he went to hit the man.
