Oasis Concert Cancellation Fuels Split Rumours

Oasis have cancelled their second gig in the space of a week because of “an altercation within the band”, it was announced tonight.
They were expected to play the Rock en Seine festival in Paris but the crowd were told by Bloc Party, who were due to perform before Oasis, the Manchester band would not be taking the stage.
Many of the crowd thought it was a joke – until the big screens at either side of the main stage showed the message “As a result of an altercation within the band, the Oasis gig has been cancelled”.
Ben Clover, 28, who travelled from south London for the festival said: “I was hoping to see the band on the top of their game – now I am not sure we will ever see them perform live again.
“There are a lot of British Oasis fans who have come over for this gig and they are very disappointed.”
Last weekend the band pulled out of the V Festival in Chelmsford which they were meant to headline.
The band pulled the plug on their show at the annual music event because frontman Liam Gallagher was struck down with viral laryngitis.
However, their non-appearance sparked rumours they were set to split.
Earlier this month Liam revealed his relationship with his brother, Noel, is so bad they no longer speak, travel separately on tour and only see each other onstage.
North London 80s favourites Madness – who played the festival earlier today - stood in for Oasis.
