Who is Oasis?
Oasis, who emerged as a five-piece band in Manchester in 1991, are widely credited with revitalizing the Britpop genre, thanks in part to their intense rivalry with London band Blur. The group rose to fame with the album Definitely Maybe in 1994 and cemented their legacy with timeless hits such as “Wonderwall”, “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova”. Even after three decades, the band has sold 75 million records worldwide.
However, as the band’s success grew, so did the rivalry between the Gallagher brothers, who were the only constant members of Oasis’ ever-changing line-up. Their famous feuds, which ranged from tabloid fodder to on-stage brawls, eventually culminated in the group’s split on 28 August 2009, just minutes before a performance at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
At the time, Noel explained that although people could say what they wanted, he simply could not continue working with Liam. He later reported that the final breakup occurred after a fight backstage, where Liam even wielded a guitar “as if it were an axe“.

- Oasis could be getting back together with the Gallagher brothers announcing a possible reunion.
