Noel Gallagher has finally come clean about what broke Oasis over a decade after the musical split from his brother Liam.

The rock star admitted that he started it when he dumped some gifted items from Liam’s new fashion line in front of a charity shop.

The 54-year-old confessed his younger brother could not forgive the low blow when his new launch was in the window at Bernardo’s a month before its release to the public.

‘Liam gave us a load of clobber, not just me, he gave the band it,’ Noel told Matt Morgan’s podcast

‘I went straight to the charity shop and left it in the shop doorway,’ he continued.

‘He went f***ing mental. He said, ‘If you didn’t f***ing want it, you should have just said you didn’t f***ing want it, you c**t.’

‘If push comes to shove, that was the beginning of the end,’ admitted Noel.

Liam founded Pretty Green – named after a song by The Jam – the same year the band split.

He acted as a fashion designer for the brand as well as the owner.

In 2019 he sold off the company to JD Sports after encountering money issues.

When Oasis first split, Noel blamed his brother saying: ‘I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.’

In March Noel also admitted that his biggest regret about leaving the band was not playing their last gig in Paris on the night he called it quits.

He reckons that if Oasis had played, tensions between him and Liam would have boiled over on stage resulting in one ‘mad gig’ for fans.

Speaking to Daily Star’s Wired, Noel said: ‘We were getting p***ed and fighting and then me going, “F**k it, I’m going home, f**k off,” with the benefit of time, I don’t know whether it would have been better to stay and do the gig because the fight would have carried on to the stage.
