The End of Oasis as Noel Gallagher quits band

Noel Gallagher has announced that he is unable to work with his brother, Liam, any longer and therefore this indicates the end of the British Rock Legends, after 18 years.

Noel, the group's lead guitarist, BBC News reports, made the statement on the band's website. He said a series of rows with his brother led to the decision.

The guitarist said: "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," he added.

But really where does this place the band? In 2008, the band signed a three album deal with Sony BMG and since then they have released 'Dig Out Your Soul'... but what next? And what about the remainder of their tour? It's all well and nice to say that you apologise, but what about those let down fans? And in actual fact, we have always known the brothers had an icy relationship, in the 90's, they never left headlines about their wild ways and the ways they had hurt each other. But with this announcment, there seems an air of finality according to Hamish McBain, from music magazine New Musical Express.

What do all the Oasis fans think? They swarmed to Twitter to leave messages like 'Gutted about Oasis. Live Forever!' (joelbeighton), 'Oasis spilt up, can't quiet believe it yet! So amazing to see live and to meet in person...' (TheLives) and 'oasis have split how sad :(' (lucyjade123).

At the end of the day, eight albums later, we have learnt a lot about them and from them, they were the band who were there since the beginning of BritPop and they gave us anthems many would never forget like 'Wonderwall'.

The Best of the 20-21st Century Music: Oasis (1)

Over the coming weeks, I will be naming what I believe to be the best of the centuries, 20 and 21 in all things music. To start things off, one of the greatest written songs, one of those that defined the 90's and will never be forgotten.
Oasis' 'Wonderwall' is as of 2008, 76th in the UK's best selling singles of all time. Released as the third single from (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? in October 1995, “Wonderwall” peaked at number two in the UK Singles Charts and proved to be their American breakthrough, reaching number eight on the Hot 100 and giving them their only top-ten hit in the US thus far.
What made this song memorable? The emotional lyrics (That the fire in your heart is out, I'm sure you've heard it all before, But you never really had a doubt), the smooth guitar riffs, the peak of Britpop or was it a mixture of all this? Did the English people feel they needed a song to represent how they felt at the time?
I believe Oasis had managed to with every word, every strum and beat, what was needed in music. The release in 1995 brings back many memories for those who can remember it, it was when Diana Spencer said the immortal words, "There were three people in my marriage," in that Panorama interview (the most watching TV item in Britain ever!) or when OJ Simpson was given freedom with a 'not guilty' verdict or the death of notorious gang leader, Ronnie Kray.
A lot happened in that year and 'Wonderwall' reverberated through the rest of the 90's and still to the current day.



Up to date, Oasis have just released their new LP, 'Dig Out Your Soul' which went straight to number one, their seventh in a row.
