2009 arguably sported one of the biggest blows to British Music since Freddie Mercury died, the Death of OASIS.
Some background information for you undesirables out there who do not care for the Brit Pop Icons;
On the 10th June 2009 Sunderland saw one of the biggest bands of UK music history play at our local football stadium and create such a media surge and culutural impact that it was hard to concentrate on anything but Oasis. Excitement had built for months, and the resulting gig turned out to be one of the most amazing spectacles that many of us had ever seen.
Just over 2 months later, Oasis had split.
What went Wrong?
The Gallagher Brothers have been feuding for years, and have always had the sense and decency to patch things up after every spat, regardless of the circumstances, however this time things went too far for one of them. It is not known exactly what happened, speculation states that Liam made a comment that Noel was not actually the father of one of his children, but this is purely of rumour, what we do know is a huge argument erupted between the two resulting in Noel abandoning the band indefinitely.
Both Liam and Noel plan on persuing further music careers with Liam and the remaining line-up of Bro-asis intending on recording more material and Noel intending on going it alone.
We're all aware of the 'Battle of Britpop', could history repeat itself and see two brothers battling it out in the charts fueled by hate and spite? Who knows.
It is sad to see Oasis go, some argued they outstayed their welcome, I disagree, although their newest material may not be as amazing as it used to be, they definitely still knew how to put on a show when i seen them.
RIP Oasis
Cheers

After watching one of their gigs, Liam's brother Noel asked to join the band, on condition that he would be sole song writer and band leader.
