Noel Gallagher to tell all on Oasis split

Noel Gallagher is to give a tell-all interview about leaving Oasis, according to reports.

The guitarist quit the group following an explosive row with his brother, the band's frontman Liam Gallagher, and Noel is in talks to reveal the events leading up to the split to UK TV host Piers Morgan.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Noel and Liam haven't been shy in having a public rift, but there is much more happening behind-the-scenes than anyone can even imagine.

"Piers is the perfect interviewer to get to the heart of what's been going on."

The interview is expected to be broadcast in the UK when his TV Show Piers Morgan's Life Stories - in which he speaks to celebrities about key moments in their lives - returns later this year.

In the months leading up to the split, Noel and Liam had both spoken less-than-favourably about one another, with the guitarist even revealing his sibling has not yet met his two-year-old son Donovan.

Despite their problems, the brothers' mother Peggy Gallagher believes they will reconcile.

She said: "Liam adores Noel. They do love each other, but they've always been very different. The funny thing is, they didn't fight as children. They didn't fight until they started the band.

"I hope this isn't the end of Oasis. I don't think it is. They're just tired at the end of the tour. They've had fights before and got over it."

Songwriter Noel, 42, quit the band minutes before the group was due on stage at Paris' Rock en Seine festival.

Liam, 36, reportedly smashed Noel's guitar while screaming, "You're no brother of mine!"

Noel later released a statement announcing he had left the band and repeated his intention never to return in a second statement.

It read: "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 seek new pastures."

Noel is now expected to embark on a solo career, while Liam wants to continue the band.
