As expected, Noel Gallagher held a press conference in London yesterday to announce the release of his first solo material. The surprise he had up his sleeve was that he actually has two albums ready to go. The first, entitled ‘Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’, will be released on 17 Oct via his own Sour Mash label, with distribution from EMI. The second, a collaboration with Future Sound Of London’s psychedelic rock offshoot Amorphous Androgynous, will come out next year.

But enough about that, what everyone wanted to hear about really was his side of the story regarding the sudden implosion of Oasis at France’s Rock en Seine in 2009. What exactly happened? Well, said Noel: “[Liam had] gone into his private dressing room and he’d picked up this guitar. He came back in and he was wielding it about like an axe. He was quite violent. At that point there was no physical violence but there was a lot of World Wrestling Federation stuff, he was like Randy Savage or something. It was an unnecessarily violent act and he nearly took my face off”.

He added: “Liam doesn’t like me. I don’t get on with him, but he doesn’t like me in a very violent way. I did everyone a favour when I left”.

In response to Noel’s press briefing, Liam issued his own statement via Twitter. It simply reads: “SHITBAG”.
