Just for the sake of being an idle.

Dearly beloved, it is with a heavy heart and a sad face that I say this to you this morning.

As of last Friday the 28th August, I have been forced to leave the Manchester rock'n'roll pop group Oasis.

The details are not important and of too great a number to list. But I feel you have the right to know that the level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable. And the lack of support and understanding from my management and band mates has left me with no other option than to get me cape and seek pastures new.

I would like firstly to offer my apologies to them kids in Paris who'd paid money and waited all day to see us only to be let down AGAIN by the band. Apologies are probably not enough, I know, but I'm afraid it's all I've got.

While I'm on the subject, I'd like to say to the good people of V Festival that experienced the same thing. Again, I can only apologise - although I don't know why, it was nothing to do with me. I was match fit and ready to be brilliant. Alas, other people in the group weren't up to it.

In closing I would like to thank all the Oasis fans, all over the world. The last 18 years have been truly, truly amazing (and I hate that word, but today is the one time I'll deem it appropriate). A dream come true. I take with me glorious memories.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have a family and a football team to indulge.

I'll see you somewhere down the road. It's been a fuckin' pleasure.

Thanks very much.

Goodbye.

NG. (Noel Gallagher)

-O lo que traducido sería:

HOLA A TODOS, ESTOY HARTO DE LIAM Y SUS EPISODIOS DE ALCOHOLISMO POCO PROFESIONAL. ESTOY VIEJO Y MI ESPOSA ME TIENE AMARRADO DE LAS PELOTAS.




Liam tan elegante como siempre. Y ebrio. Y drogado. Y elegante.




-Eso sí, para mi también fue un pinche placer acompañarlos durante estos años pegado a las bocinas para cualquier novedad, adquirir un boleto por ticket master, 12 horas de viaje hasta la ciudad de México, hacer cola en el Palacio de los Deportes y admirar por dos horas a una de las bandas mas gloriosas de los años que me tocaron vivir. Si, no es LA mejor, quizá lo fué... pero gritar "you and I are gonna live forever" entre 50,000 personas no tiene madre. Vamos, al final se reuniran en un futuro (esperemos) y si no es así, que va, ya los tuve enfrente.
