The love-hate relationship between former Oasis frontmen Liam and Noel Gallager has been entertaining us since the 90s. Now Liam has taken his apparently rampant distaste for Noel one step further and has brought a law suit against him for lying about the reasons for the band’s split. And he wants a public apology too.
Reports today reveal that Liam is suing Noel for saying that he backed out of a 2009 V festival performance not because he was ill, but due to a “hangover”.
Liam told the Sun in the UK, “I have taken legal action against Noel Gallagher for statements he made claiming Oasis pulled out of the 2009 V festival Chelmsford gig because I had a hangover. That is a lie and I want Oasis fans and others who were at V to know the truth.”
Liam says he had laryngitis and that Noel’s comments went “way beyond rock’n’roll banter and questioned my professionalism. I tried to resolve this amicably but have been left with no choice but legal action. All I want is an apology.”
Ok, if you say so – seems a little excessive to file a high court action, then. But no-one’s ever accused Liam of being moderate.
He is also disputing Noel’s claim that the band’s split was partially owing to a disagreement over whether Liam could advertise his Pretty Green clothing range in the concert programme.
