090830 _ Noel Gallagher Quits Oasis

 

28일자 Pitchformedia에 헤드라인으로 뜬 기사.
워낙 노엘과 리암은 형제이면서도 죽어라 싸워대는 사이였지만서도...
결국 노엘은 리암과의 불화를 이유로(하루도 더 같이 못있겠다는) 오아시스를 탈퇴.

물론 개인적으로 Oasis를 그닥 좋아하진 않는다만...
2009년에만 우리나라에 두 번이나 공연을 왔던 그들.
그들의 팬에겐 정말 '불행 중 다행'의 선물이었을 듯.

Noel Gallagher Quits Oasis (Again)

 

"I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer." Huh, he might really mean it this time.

 

In an awesomely curt statement on the band's website, Noel Gallagher announced today that he's quit Oasis.

And to hear Noel tell it, the split is a direct result of a long-contentious relationship with brother and co-frontmanLiam.

Here's Noel's complete statement: "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."

Not a whole lot of ambiguity there. As the Los Angeles Times points out,

this isn't the first time Noel has quit the band; he also walked out during a Paris show in 2000

and briefly during an American tour in the mid-1990s. That statement, however, sure has a ring of finality to it.
