Liam Prefers Pups to Oasis: Brothers Face Tour Turmoil
Oasis: The Toxic Tour - A Cautionary Tale of Brotherly Love and Greed
The highly anticipated reunion tour of the iconic Britpop band Oasis has been making headlines, but behind the scenes, it's a different story altogether. Despite their efforts to put on a united front for the cameras, sources close to the tour reveal that the brothers are barely speaking to each other.
Liam Gallagher, 52, and Noel Gallagher, 58, have been at loggerheads since their infamous falling out in 2009. But with the promise of a multi-million-pound payday, they've agreed to put aside their differences for the sake of the tour. Or so it seems.
According to insiders, the brothers are forced to maintain an image of warm, fraternal harmony throughout the 41-gig tour by convincing fans that they've finally made amends. But in reality, tensions are running high as Liam and Noel go out of their way to avoid each other when not on stage.
"It's like a toxic marriage," says a source close to the tour. "They're only doing this for the money, and it shows." The brothers' separate living arrangements have become an essential feature throughout the five-month tour, with Noel staying at the four-star Parkgate Hotel and Liam opting for a more modest accommodation 20 miles away.
But despite their efforts to keep up appearances, even the most skeptical of fans are buying into the act. The real question is: how long can they keep this charade going? With only a few shows left on the tour, insiders are warning that it's only a matter of time before things come to a head.
"It's like a ticking time bomb," says another source. "The tension is palpable, and it's only a matter of time before something snaps." But for now, the brothers will continue to put on a united front, all in the name of making as much money as possible.
And what about the crew who are working behind the scenes to make this tour happen? They're not exactly thrilled with their lot in life either. According to sources, the Gallagher brothers have banned any free tickets from being given out to the hard-working crew, sparking astonishment and anger among those who will be spending months away from their loved ones.
"It's like they don't care about anyone but themselves," says a source close to the tour. "The crew is all fuming, and it's only a matter of time before something blows up." But for now, the Gallagher brothers will continue to milk this reunion tour for all it's worth, leaving everyone else to deal with the fallout.
In a shocking turn of events, The Scholarly Note has learned that the Gallagher brothers have been forced to put stickers over their camera phones backstage at every venue, preventing fans from getting a glimpse of their true relationship. But why are they so desperate to keep this charade going? It's all about the benjamins, baby.
According to sources close to Noel, the brothers are "inseparable" only when it comes to making money. And with tickets selling out at an alarming rate and merchandise deals raking in the dough, it's no wonder they're so keen to keep up appearances.
"It's all about the cash," says a source. "They wouldn't be doing this otherwise." But what about the fans who are desperate to see Oasis perform one last time before the tour wraps up? Are they just pawns in the Gallagher brothers' game of greed?
Only time will tell, but for now, it seems that the only thing more toxic than the Gallagher brothers' relationship is their ego.
