Former Oasis drummer to publish tell all book
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 5 May 2010
Former Oasis drummer Tony McCarroll is planning to dish the dirt on Noel Gallagher in a new book, which he’s subtly called ‘Oasis: The Truth, The Noel Truth, Is Nothing Like The Truth’.
Given that he was only a member of the band between 1991 and 1995, it’s difficult to see how much dirt he could actually have to dish, or why it’s taken him so bloody long to write a book about it. Presumably it will contain a lot of detail on his 1999 lawsuit, in which he attempted to sue the band for £18 million, claiming he was owed royalties from all five of the albums the band were contracted to record for Creation, even though he only played on three of them. McCarroll eventually received an out-of-court settlement of £600,000.
Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? Sadly, we’ll all have to wait another five months to read it. The book will be published by Blake Publishing on 4 Oct.
