Liam Gallagher has stated that he is suing his brother Noel over comments made about the split of Oasis in 2009. The Beady Eye singer has filed an official high court action, claiming that Noel lied about the band’s split when he declared in a 2009 press conference that Liam pulled out of a V Festival performance “because of a hangover”.
Liam has offered an extended statement on the lawsuit through The Sun newspaper today (August 19th), calling out for a public apology from his brother. The statement reads: “I have taken legal action against Noel Gallagher for statements he made claiming Oasis pulled out of the 2009 V Festival Chelmsford gig because I had a hangover. That is a lie and I want Oasis fans and others who were at V to know the truth. I was gutted when I couldn't play the gig because I didn't want to let the fans down.”
It continues: “But the truth is I had laryngitis, which Noel was made fully aware of that morning, diagnosed by a doctor. Noel also falsely stated the demise of Oasis followed a massive row in which he claimed I demanded to advertise my clothing range Pretty Green in the Oasis tour programme. The truth is there was no such discussion or row between us.”
“I am used to being called all sorts of things by Noel and I have in the past said things about him. But what Noel has alleged this time went way beyond rock-and-roll banter and questioned my professionalism. I tried to resolve this amicably but have been left with no choice but legal action. All I want is an apology.”
Noel Gallagher is yet to respond to the claims.
