Noel Gallagher Quits Oasis

Noel Gallagher quit Oasis on 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 onstage, with organisers allegedly displaying a message explaining an "altercation" had caused the cancellation.

Watch Liam Gallagher's recent thoughts on the band at this location.

Thanks for the report to Nme.com.

surprise surprise...

[flemflames]

It was time.

[Cheeseman Jay]

They missed the word 'Again' off of the title...

[J.J.Jolly]

this time its for real mate, it came up on breaking news on all of the english news tv channels, 18 years this band have been going and now they quit oh well, roll on noels solo album.

[Jet_Black88]

I think it's hilarious that it was only days ago that there was an article about how they weren't splitting up.

[HeathenChemist]

I'm not shattered, as much of a massive fan I am. I'd much rather a Noel solo album than another half baked album (Dig Out You Soul *cough*)

[HeathenChemist]

^^^^ Meant to say half baked Oasis album

[ojdon]

Been dying for Noel to leave Oasis since I've been wanting Noel to bring out a Solo album. It's sad to see the band go once again, but they'll be back when they want to do another album, I can bet on it.

NOEL IS OASIS.

[Casta44]

thank god.

[KenMasters]

Oasis had fought with every single band in the planet, had said numerous insulting things about everyone, it was only time they really started a big fight among them, they were the only ones left to argue with, this is no surprise and shoulda happened a lot earlier

[soundgarden19]

I honestly don't care any more, the first two albums were BRILLIANT pop/rock but after that nothing exciting. I'm almost glad they are "breaking up" so I won't have to hear about how they are about to break up for the next ten years.

[josh999x]

Oasis would be good without those two twats at the helm. fingers crossed for bono leaving u2.

[sstony]

No Loss from this band thats for sure !!!!!

[Astyan]

No big news about these two being cocky and egocentric douchebags. Their ego is at least the size of the Eiffel tower.

[ChipPeaGravy]

Brothers fight all the time. I really wouldn't be surprised if they reform before the end of the week.

[Metal Onslaught]

so glad this happened. that band was terrible, and now we can be free from ever hearing their ill-thought attempts to make music. Rejoice!

[PauloLeyundo]

I hope Gem Archer sticks with Noel or something. I think they're a terrific combo

[Antoine-Øleg]

The Oasis suck. They are a poor excuse for a rock band and I'm pretty sure Noel is Satan.

GTFO!, stop writing the same senseless statement in every news page.

As for Noel Gaallagher, he should've done it during late 90's. It was time.

[Sonny_sam]

Thank God... I hope it's for real this time! I just can't stand how arrogant the Gallagher brothers are.

[David_Bowie=GOD]

Wait, he quit his own band?

As long as he actually does his solo album now I won't mind.

[Swank]

i dont belive all of these drama, they just want some attention... trust me neighter of the brothers will quit...

[ZeGuitarist]

Checked.

[flame_mc]

I don't know why you guys hate Oasis so much, I think that it's a great band ,and they have really good songs. I'm pretty sad about this news, even if I'm not a great fan of the band. BTW, this kinda reminds me of The Kinks, with the brothers stuff and all.

[tands]

these guys are way too over dramatic, if they put half as much energy into their music as their fights, we might hear some good music from them again, thats a definitely maybe

[AEnima18]

reckon Liam will be cocky enough to carry on the band without Noel?

[gitarzero89]

come on, he's done this before. if there's one thing you can expect from noel gallagher, it's empty, impulsive threats like this. he and liam will get Oasis back together when they realize that the only way they'll make money is to tour as Oasis. just like richard ashcroft did with the Verve last year.

[t3hWMD]

You gotta roll with it....
Oasis was and still is one of my favorite bands. They're never going to breakup.

[Baraga]

This was a big surprise...

[Wolf Dog Moon]

I seen them live in Providence back in the early 90s when they were playing small clubs. (Live forever album) They were good, and I love their sound, always have. But the feud between the brothers was well documented. I'm surprised they lasted so long. Who knows, down the road, money has a way of making people get back together!

[peachygnr]

the beatles tribute act is no more....hopefully.

[Jacob61!!!]

[quote]Cheeseman Jay wrote:

so true. i think this is like the 27th time.

[Bass of Grunge]

I considered them useless after their first two albums

[crzywhiteboy]

Well i hope this will be the end of Oasis.

[noxusrules]

let see what its going to happen now with oasis, i think that im going to keep looking all the new stuff that noel gives us

[GoToSleep]

This guy really thinks he's a big deal. It's like yeah everyone has heard of Oasis, but haven't heard more than a song or two.

[johnnybj]

maybe their recent material wasn't great but oasis were one of the best live bands in the world and it'll be a shame to never see them again.

[Whats the story]

Noals departure is something great for the future. A solo album of his will be excellent, simply because its noel gallagher. oasis has ended for now but i wreckon one day they will come back. Its a shame it happened because oasis are one of my favouate bands and have seen in manchester. Liam will struggle to write a solo album on his own without gem helping him. so i dont think it wi be s good as noels if they both do make a solo album.

[Manic Al]

great, at least now other bands will maybe start to be more original rather than another ounce of brit pop crapola

[TheLukeMaxfield]

glad i saw them at wembly last month...

[John Uriel]

It is very interesting that it took many years after Noel lost his inspiration for him to call it a day, and yet Bono carries on regardless,displaying his eco-credentials by endlessly recycling his material. My favourite U2 track is Bullet the Blue Sky, Bono's contribution to this is awesome.

[Barkeeper]

Next week's headline: Oasis reuniting again.

[Eyeball-Tickler]

Finally a Noel solo album. He's been flogging a dead horse for a long time now with Oasis. Cant wait to hear his solo stuff.

[sucubus]

heh this was bound to happen....again. doesnt really matter though, oasis hasnt released anything decent for 10 years now anyway

[metalifan]

he'll be back

[AngryGoldfish]

I feel very relieved.

[visiofx]

no noel = no oasis

[TwistedLogic]

They are useless tw@ts, so who cares. They wrote a couple of decent songs but in all the band will not be remebered as anything special. Liam is a tit but Noel is equally douchie so it makes no difference who did what.

[Strat4jazz]

Wasn't this the same wanker that said he could out draw Bon Jovi in head to head concerts in the same city? He's got bigger trouble than Oasis calling it quits, he freaking crazy

[Greendaypunkit]

aaah that sucks! i don't think noel is as bad as he's made out to be by the media.

[Gordo12]

You know what? Noel Gallagher is probably better off outside of Oasis. I mean, this type of thing has happened so many times. The rumors that Oasis would end and you know what? They end up not quitting, just because they can't exist without each other. Their lyrics are certainly not laudable, on the basis that they're put together to sound good. Unlike Radiohead or the Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis are only credible for so much.

[ZeGuitarist]

Checked...

[[travis]]

His ego was probably too big for the band. I never liked Oasis at all.

[ian5673]

greatest there is, ever was and ever will be.

I hope Bell also leaves Liam. Then his puny little ass will understand how talentless he is.

[B.do]

Haha, glad I didn't go to rock en seine after all :p.

[guitarskater11]

I'm a big oasis fan, but like noel soo much. Noel's solo album(s) will be fantastic. Plus he has been saving stuff up that didn't really go with the oasis style, so he probably has like 4 or 5 albums of stuff.

[ST Thrash]

it's about time.

[markyboy101]

Such a shame, Live Forever Oasis! Every album is quality stuff, great musical evolution. Wish them all the best of luck.

[stereomaca]

great band.sadly missed.people are only saying liam's taltentless cos their jelous

[StONE_ROdGEr]

Oasis don't really work for me anyways, so i'm not really effected by this

[londonsteve]

Noel's a good guitarist and liam's a good singer,so they're be back.

[Msu_Man04]

I like a few of their songs, just the hits like "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova."

But Noel Gallagher is a fucking prick. I bet Liam's glad he's gone, too.

[Dinopaterno22]

hell yeah.

[nscar]

Sweeeeet

[severed-metal]

Do they really need their own article for Noel leaving the band?

Yeah, they're OK, but really? People leave bands all the time. It just doesn't seem worth it to do this.

[ma_tt11]

Noel is one of the most arrogant personas in the music world today. Its about time that happened, great music, but saw this a long time coming.

[Rasta Dogg]

... And this took priority over the article about Muse?

[RentACar]

You have our attention.

[x_hud]

Holy hell.
My life is complete.

[Cobain_Is_King]

Rasta Dogg wrote:

Yes, because Oasis splitting up is a bigger story. Oasis are a bigger band.

I for one am saddened by this, but on the other hand would like to hear a Noel Gallagher solo album.

[XtractionProces]

josh999x wrote:

Newsflash boyo; Oasis IS those two twats at the helm. Or should I say was.

It's about ****ing time. Noel's got stuff coming out and Liam's also got stuff coming out. Although Noel will be the clear winner, it'll be interesting to see what happens. Bring on the blood!

[DavidsonTFP]

I remember when my older sister was my age, she was reading the very same headline... ten years ago. the only difference is that she listened to them and I never did once.

[Baconfish]

And the world gains another less talented version of Paul Weller.

[Zmatt]

I just had to fix the wiki page on Noel. Some douchebag changed it to "Oasis sucks". Grow up.

Indeed very wrong-also at this year's V Festival, Oasis were meant to headline sunday but they pulled out, last year MUSE gave a fantastic performance on saturday which was the best gig of my life.

[Guitar93!]

such a shame but could be for the best

[mer_der_noms]

Old news is old.

Bout damn time though. I was tired of hearing about them fighting like 12 year olds.

[littleleo88]

good news! maybe they finally ran out of boredom to put into music.

[liam1107]

noel isnt so bad guys, well he is, but stack him up against his twat of a brother and he seems normal.
glad he quit oasis, i think without the rest of them talentless idiots he could make something could

[tom-the-lawn]

I looked at the video of Liam's opinion and I can hardly make out a damn word he's saying.. his British accent is really thick

[BobChicken]

i think this is the end... its always been liam who has left, but now its Noel... well he wrote all the songs and is the usually less moody one, so it muct have been bad

[iceh88]

wow what a loss. not! i hope noel has a great career and liam becomes a bum and wanders the streets of london looking for someone to give him some money.

[Tokai09]

Hahaha lol. That was great

[SkepsisMetal]

Of course Oasis havent split up. Oasis just quit working with his brother. It doesnt matter where the other 2 go, as much as they would be better with Noel, he can find more band members easier than Josh Homme...cue the new Oasis. Although it will probably be called something else. But if he does release anything else I hope to god it doesnt sound anything like Dont Believe The Truth. It was shoddy, back to the old days of brit pop please lad

[crocoscar]

I know some people who came to the Rock en Seine festival just to see them ... PWNED

[element4433]

Checked.

[dieinafire]

Good. I hope he leaves his solo project too. So tired of that idiots lame music and prickish attitude.

[busted_hater]

As crap as people think Oasis are they have probably out sold most the bands you like. People like the their music and you cant knock em for that. I personally am a fan and am gutted, although i dont really see this being the end.

[strat0blaster]

Again? Does anyone care at this point how many times this band has broken up because of the SAME MAN?

It's like highschool.

[the_elements600]

Just a publicity stunt I would imagine...Noel and Liam with go their seperate ways for a few years then reform Oasis. I don't think we've seen the end of this band yet :P

[BassFishin]

Well, we already knew it was going to happen. Even though just last week he said it wouldn't.

[WillzKORN]

what!!!??? he should fire the rest of them haha

[jggpg]

they werent that good, always copied the beatles

[joeYY182]

these guys are way too over dramatic, if they put half as much energy into their music as their fights, we might hear some good music from them again, thats a definitely maybe
i like the way you put "definatly maybe" in there:P

And they're going to get back together anyways, brothers fight a lot.

So arrogant. More Arrogant than Metallica in my mind.

Though some of their songs kind of sound Beatles-esque, I bet your faovurite bands/singers have copied THEIR influences at least once! I'm tired of that statement, and the amount of people who say it like it's an automated response! Think about what you say before you type it out!

[musicidot]

LOL can't believe it , they are blood brothers

[jod23]

aww they'll be back together eventually... same ole news... drama drama with them

[irotinmyskin]

thank god. time to put a stop to oasis

[Who66]

flame_mc kinda reminds me of The Kinks

except the Kinks were second only in originality and musical/lyrical brains to the Beatles (who, incidentally, Oasis sound not at all like)....

Good sales don't necessarily reflect good music. I mean its all perceptive, but just saying.

[Andrew C. S.]

You've got to give it to him for not pulling the "creative differences" card.

[guitarbreaker]

No offence but the last couple of Oasis albums were somewhat lacking. So for Noel to leave I could really care less.

[Harvey_Danger]

Now if he and his brother would just go OD on something or finally kill each other, the world will be a better place. Give celebrity status to people that deserve it, not idiots that feud and criticize other bands for being better than them (because they're jealous of those with actual talent that didn't make careers off of horrid music that was clearly a fluke).

Dude... They hate each other, Liam hasn't even seen Noel's year old daughter, his own niece, yet. They stayed working together like Daltrey and Townshend but now its too much for Noel, they wont reform by the end of the week. Shame, and while the last 2 albums were good, they will always suffer because of the first 2. Noel may now write stuff as good as that. Liam's career is over, writing crap like songbird shows that. Oasis without Noel is like a bowl of cereal for breakfast without actually putting the cereal in... IT'S JUST A BOWL OF MILK PEOPLE!!!

[thedefrockednun]

I really wanted to see them live

Oh well...

[Mark G]

I couldn't understand a thing he was saying in that interview

[wanksta]

haha, it was hilarious at the concert, bloc party was on at the time and kele made sooo much fun of noel and oasis...they started playing the opening chords to wonderwall and such things. Truly a wonderful evening, what with Them Crooked Vultures appearing after...

They wouldn't1 because laim and noel write the songs and noel is the main musical driving force behind the band. The others just do as they are told.

[adamshakermaker]

They will be even stronger in a few years! Noel needs to get his solo record out of his system first.

[gregshow]

well, i'm glad i saw them live. but i don't think this is forever. i'm pretty sure there will be a comeback. not very soon, but someday

[poipoi]

They won't split for that long, they've split a couple of times before, and you have to bear in mind that they have been touring for a pretty long time. Things tend to heat up after such a time with them... Maybe Noel will write a solo album first and then they'll start again, but it's definitely not forever

[Zell182]

Seriously who cares? They haven't had a good song since the 90s and they're so overrated it's painful.

[MONSTA42]

Don't see why everyone is bashing Noel. He has the bollocks to say what everyone is thinking.

They're one of my favourite bands, so that's too bad. Hopefully, with a permanent end of the band, those two twats can work on repairing their relationship.

(Oasis articles are my favourite because of the high "twat" wordcount count in the comment section)

[dr_shred]

rejoice rejoice aww thank god i dont have to hear about the crap he gets into
they are a good band dont get me wrong but hes just got such a bad rep

[arnob_oblique]

the recent music oasis made was crap... i guess no harm is done now that noel is no longer there

so basically you're saying that Noel and Liam are a bunch of pussies who can't solve simple problems.

Lets all start a mass suicide until he rejoins!

[ak10]

who had August in the pool? I'm taking bets now for when they will get back together, I am saying they will be back together by December

He quit...again. Give it less than a month and they will be back.

[redeyedbluesman]

Bono carries on regardless,displaying his eco-credentials by endlessly recycling his material.

That was a funny line!

[MAAAR]

Oasis split up, really? ¬¬' I hope Noel start a new album in this 'intermediate'.
