Oasis to take five year break
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 22 April 2009
Noel Gallagher claims that Oasis will go on a five year hiatus following the band’s upcoming stadium tour because he calculates that is how long it’ll take to get over the trauma of seeing his brother Liam every day. He also claimed that his distaste for his brother is now so strong that he’s never even allowed him to see his 19 month old nephew, Donovan.
Noel told Q: “He’s never seen my little lad, just pictures. To a stranger it sounds ludicrous, but you wouldn’t have him in the house if he spoke to you the way he speaks to me and my family. He’s rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup”.
He added that he’s also still annoyed that Liam skipped out on recording sessions for the band’s recent album, ‘Dig Out Your Soul’, to marry his then girlfriend Nicole Appleton in a secret Valentine’s Day ceremony last year. “There’s two great tracks lying there not finished from the last record, because Liam fucked off to get married”, he said. “That annoys the fuck out of me. We’ve got a 50-piece choir on both, they’re enormous. There’s no talking to be done. Maybe that’s the problem – there’s no fall-out from it. I never said to him, ‘What are you doing, you dick?’. If albums mean that little to him, I don’t want to argue. He can fuck off as far as I’m concerned. By the time we make another record we’ll be five years older”.
