Following reports that Oasis broke up because Noel Gallagher made fun of his brother’s guitar playing, Liam Gallagher today shifts the blame onto the petite shoulders of British comedian Russell Brand. Liam explains that it was the allure of hanging out with the Katy Perry–dating celebrity that made him leave the band: “You don’t have 18 years of giving it all this, then wash your hands of it and start going out with Russell Brand, and all these new pals. He’s got a lot of people around him giving him false pretenses.†So if we never again get an album as good as Definitely Maybe, you can blame it all on Russell Brand. [Sun UK via Daily Swarm]
