Well, the guitar Liam smashed up on the night Oasis split up is going on auction...
www.the-saleroom.com
On 28 August 2009, Oasis were scheduled to perform at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. While preparing, a violent argument broke out backstage between the brothers, resulting in Liam swinging this Gibson ES-355 guitar around, ultimately destroying it. Liam chose this guitar as he knew it was one of Noel's favourites. "So then he leaves and goes to his own dressing room and picks up a guitar," Noel explained at a 2011 press conference. "He comes back in and he starts throwing it around like an axe."
A couple of hours after this infamous altercation, Noel announced that he was leaving the band, stating he could no longer work with Liam, and Oasis officially split. The bitter rivalry between the Gallagher brothers continued for many years. But in August 2024, they unexpectedly announced a reunion, and are currently playing a worldwide tour.
