I was at V as well. Would be quite cool if we saw their last ever gig.

I agree they were crap at V though. Something was not right and I don't think it was the "illness" that Liam and Noel had.

I knew I should have stayed in the Arena after Gaga to watch MGMT.

I was obsessed with Oasis during the What's the Story? era, but the last album of theirs that I bought was Be Here Now.

Still, at least I can say that 'I was there!'

Me too. Bought DM on day of release...bet there's not many on here that can say that.

You honestly believe we'll go the next ten years without Liam & Noel on stage together?

Dearly beloved, it is with a heavy heart and a sad face that I say this to you this morning.

As of last Friday the 28th August, I have been forced to leave the Manchester rock'n'roll pop group Oasis.

The details are not important and of too great a number to list. But I feel you have the right to know that the level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable. And the lack of support and understanding from my management and band mates has left me with no other option than to get me cape and seek pastures new.

I would like firstly to offer my apologies to them kids in Paris who'd paid money and waited all day to see us only to be let down AGAIN by the band. Apologies are probably not enough, I know, but I'm afraid it's all I've got.

While I'm on the subject, I'd like to say to the good people of V Festival that experienced the same thing. Again, I can only apologise - although I don't know why, it was nothing to do with me. I was match fit and ready to be brilliant. Alas, other people in the group weren't up to it.

In closing I would like to thank all the Oasis fans, all over the world. The last 18 years have been truly, truly amazing (and I hate that word, but today is the one time I'll deem it appropriate). A dream come true. I take with me glorious memories.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have a family and a football team to indulge.

I'll see you somewhere down the road. It's been a strawberry floatin' pleasure.

Thanks very much.

Goodbye.

NG.

They cut the gig short after a row between Liam and Noel, only played about six songs, then afterwards stood at the bar not talking to each other - me and my mate stood alternately chatting to both brothers for about half an hour. I remember there were some student types there, one of whom asked Liam "who is your favourite poet?" to which Liam snorted "Poetry?". I've still got a local listings paper that was signed by the whole band too.

I almost feel bad for pointing it out in this thread but I've got to be honest, I don't even like 'em either! Tried to get into them at the time but I could never warm to Liam's voice, the tunes never did anything for me, and the lyrics are atrocities.

Have I successfully alienated every single person reading this thread yet? Job's a good 'un!
