Oasis Split 'Caused By Liam Smashing Noel's Guitar'

Oasis apparently split following a bust-up between Noel and Liam Gallagher, shortly before their headline performance at France's Rock en Seine Festival was axed.

As we reported today, the 'Wonderwall' hitmakers have officially called it a day, after Noel confirmed he had quit the band.

Now reports are saying a heated row between the siblings is to blame for their split.

According to The Sun, an insider said: "It all kicked off after a few jibes were thrown back and forward between them. It got totally out of hand very quickly and all the pent-up anger just exploded."

"Noel has been so mild-mannered and above it all, but everyone has a breaking point." The spy added. "The fight was split up quickly but Liam smashed up one of Noel's guitars to make his point."

"That was it. The last act of anger that Noel could put up with. He just doesn't need the hassle any more."

Singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald also made similar comments regarding a bust-up, when she wrote on Twitter: "Cancelled again with one minute to stage time!!! Liam smashed Noel's guitar, huuuge fight!"
