After a series of cancellations, and in the wake of Liam Gallagher suffering a severe bought with laryngitis, more trouble looms for the popular band Oasis. The infamous Gallagher brothers, who are well known for their volatile relationship, have caused a rift in the band.

Noel Gallagher went has far as to quit the band last week, posting on his Twitter account that he had had enough. Apparently, the split came shortly after Liam made a comment that Noel may not be the biological father to his 9 year old daughter, Anais. Noel stated on his Twitter that Liam had gone to far and he could no longer be a part of the band.

Noel, who helped co-found the popular 90’s rock band with his brother, Liam Gallagher, claims the split is permanent and he has no intentions to return to the band. The band, which has been together for 18 years, has famously and publicly dealt with the brothers rocky relationship throughout the band’s history.

However, the row between the brothers last week has been the largest to date, and even caused the band to cancel their scheduled performance in Paris last Friday.

“I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer,” Noel writes on his Oasisinet.com blog. “The level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family [and] friends . . . has become intolerable.”

Reps for the band have said that the decision whether or not to continue without Noel is still being made. Fans are shocked by the sudden news, as just two weeks ago Oasis cancelled another gig at the V Festival due to Liam suffering laryngitis.

Many fans are speculating that the split is temporary, with even Noel and Liam’s mother reporting that the row may just be a temporary bump in the road for the band.

Alan McGee, the man responsible for discovering Oasis, however, made a more definitive statement when he said: “[This is] a sad day for music.”
