Directly from Liam Gallagher there's the confirmation that Noel Gallagher will no longer be part of Oasis.

VF: They talk about a violent fight in which you would have broken a guitar on Noel's head. Was there any blood?
LG: No, nothing of this. But you know, I would have liked it. unfortunately it has been just a discussion between us.

VF: Can you be more precise? (Liam stands up and mime what happened)
LG: So, we were on the stage, before the gig. I said "I would do this thing in this way..." and he said "it's shit, we'll do this other thing" then me:"ne ne ne" and him: "ne nene" suddenly he took my guitar, the one my wife gave to me which I loved very much, and destroied it on the floor. So I took his guitar, that in fact is an Oasis guitar, so I paid it too, and destroyed it too. So he said: "I'm leaving" (Liam sits down).

VF: so, two children
LG: two fucking' children

VF: You've not seen each other?
LG: never

VF: Not even a phone call?
LF: not even

VF: Not even after the message Noel left on oasis' website, in which he said that "the intimidation level against me, and my family, and my friends has become intolerable".
LG: Yes, he wrote he was leaving because of continued intimidation against his family, this is the thing that makes me even more angry. Yo you understand? I never insult women or children. What sense has it? It's really not my style, if I had done this I would bury myself.

VF: Noel in that message lamented about the "lack of support" from management and other group's members.
LG: So why, before leaving, he invited everybody at a party at his home? If you really think you have enemies around you, why would you invite them?

VF: So what it, in your opinion, was the real cause that pushed your brother to leave the group?
LG: My theory is that he wished to dramatize the situation, it was just a pretext. He was tired, he was eager to make a solo album, and he used the occasion to leave, the rest is bullshit.

VF: Did you feel it was going to happen?
LG: Sure. because Noel was telling people that he doesn't needed others anymore, and because some days it was very sad.

VF: It's not the first time that one of you have abandoned the tour. Why why should believe that this time it's a definitive break?
LG: This time is definite, just because there hasn't been a real fight, a problem to solve. We'll go forward without him, the group will change name because it wouldn't be the same thing without Noel, but everyone else are with me.

VF: Some fans said that you are distracted from the music, dedicating more and more time to Pretty Green
LG: Bullshit. I always cared about clothing, I love sixties style, designing my line has been natural. I am not doing the stylist, I don't make fashion shows, I don't have shops everywhere in the world. I am a musician. Pretty Green has nothing to do with the group. we believe in our songs, the last two albums are beautiful. We are writing new songs and in January we are returning to the studios. we also have to think about a new name.

VF: What unites you, and what divides you?
LG: Everything divides us, and nothing unites us.

VF: If noel was here now, what would you tell him?
LG: Just a word: liar.

VF: Last year you said that you were often on contrast, but after all you were loving him. now?
LG: OK, if you want me to say that i love him, I say it. He is my brother, I could die for him. But now, it's better he stays away.
