THE END OF THE ROAD

'Life would be easier without Oasis'

- KEITH FALKINER

PERHAPS the biggest surprise about the August 2009 demise of Oasis was that they had lasted so long.

It wasn’t the first time Noel had walked out on the band, but it was the last.

Previously he headed to San Francisco from Los Angeles in a cloudstorm, only to return with a new song, Talk Tonight.

This time there was no talk, there was no tonight. Another argument broke out between the brothers, Liam lashing out with a guitar of Noel’s. Tensions well and truly boiled over.

Noel described the volatile situation: “He (Liam) storms out of the dressing room and picks up a plum. He threw it across the dressing room and it smashed against the wall. I kind of wish it had ended like that because it would have made a great headline, ‘Plum throws plum and finishes Oasis’

“So then he leaves and goes to his own dressing room and picks up a guitar. He comes back in and he starts throwing it around like an axe.
