Noel Gallagher Was Right To Quit Oasis, Says Midge Ure












Ultravox star Midge Ure says he respects Noel Gallagher for walking away from Oasis.

Midge, who played Retrofest at the weekend, believes Noel's decision to split from brother Liam and the band was "admirable".

The Scot said: "I respect Noel Gallagher for being big enough to stand up and say enough is enough.

"That sparring brotherly love-hate relationship is what drove Oasis on and kept the engine running - maybe it got to the point that is was so painful.

"You can't go on stage with someone pushing all your buttons all the time and can't go on and pretend it doesn't affect you." Midge believes Noel had wrestled with the decision for years.

He said: "The writing may well have been on the wall.

"It was maybe not that surprising. After all, when Alan McGee first saw them and signed them to his label, they had a fight that night.

"I don't know the guys but I imagine that's how it was.

"Liam seems quite a difficult character to get along with and I don't think it matters about the details of how it fell apart."

Like McGee, Midge, who met the band at the Brits, reckons Oasis may well reform in five years.

He added: "It's a very personal thing between brothers as to what's going on. When you are family, things come and go."
