Legal
Liam v Noel not settled yet
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 31 August 2011
Liam Gallagher’s latest dispute with brother Noel is not over, OK? As previously reported, Liam began legal proceedings against his brother over remarks made by Noel at a press conference last month with regards the reasons Oasis split up, and why the band couldn’t play one half of the V Festival in 2009. But late last week a source told The Sun that Liam had withdrawn the lawsuit because the two brothers’ latest squabble was causing distress for their mother.
But speaking to Radio 1 at the Reading Festival last weekend, Liam indicated that the legal squabble is still ongoing. He said: “It’s not over yet. There are a few things which need to be sorted out. I didn’t want this to happen. It’s not nice suing your family but like I said, he was telling porkies for the sake of his mates and journalists to get a wise crack on me”.
He added: “I ain’t having that. I ain’t a fraud and my band ain’t a fraud. If he listens to his lawyers and does the right thing then it’ll be well and truly over. I never wanted it to happen but it has to happen”.
As also previously reported, Noel initially responded to Liam’s lawsuit by clarifying a few of his past comments, while also added: “It’s all getting very silly and a bit out of hand and it’s not very cool”.
