Just try not to worry, you'll see us someday
Just take what you need and be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Why did they split up?
On the 29th August 2009, the band
spilt up because band mate Noel
Gallagher, quit the group because
he could not work with his brother
Liam Gallagher for any longer.
 Due to Noel quitting, the band had
to cancel the rest of their concerts
which were supposed to be Paris,
Konstanz and Milan.
 With Noel quitting, the band never
continued without the main
songwriter and guitarist.
 Despite all this, Oasis will still be a
memorable, amazing Britpop Band
