Looks like what most fans thought would be inevitable has finally happened. Noel Gallagher has left Oasis following an altercation with his brother Liam Gallagher backstage where Liam smashed Noel's guitar today at Paris's Rock En Seine according to eyewitnesses. This was one minute before Oasis were set to take the stage. The band then proceeded to cancel their second festival appearance in a row.
Noel Gallagher then issued a statement through Oasis' website:
"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."
