Noel Gallagher branded a liar, and not by Liam for once
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 16 August 2011
Beady Eye guitarist Andy Bell has accused Noel Gallagher of lying about his reasons for quitting their former band, Oasis. This brings the official percentage of ex-Oasis members who have called the elder Gallagher brother a liar up to 40%. It’s not looking good.
As previously reported, Noel recently said that as well as the backstage fight which ultimately caused the band’s split, other contributing factors had been Liam’s desire to advertise his clothing company Pretty Green in a tour programme, and claiming to have laryngitis when cancelling a V Festival performance, when he was actually just hungover (both of which Liam denies).
Bell told The Japan Times: “[Noel] lied about a lot of things. The argument about Pretty Green was lies, what he said about V Festival and the fake laryngitis was lies – I don’t know, maybe he’s convinced that’s the truth. I don’t know what goes on in his head. I know him, so I’m not disappointed. That’s what he’s like. I know how he spins the press. He’s used the press for years. Interviews and press are secondary for us, that’s his life. That’s just Noel being Noel. All that shit”.
He added: “There were three of us in that room, and I’m telling you it was nothing to do with Pretty Green. I’m not going to add more fuel to the fire. But I’ve ended up in a band with Liam, Gem, Chris, with the same management, road crew. But at the same time, I wish him all the best. I want him to be happy”.
Yeah, lucky he didn’t add any more fuel to the fire there. Phew.
