一直没有下定决心来写这个。不知道是因为还奢望事情在几天内就会出现转机还是不敢写生怕会伤心过度。

你们永远是我心中的ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR。

一开始听说诺叔退出的消息我反应并不是很大，兄弟俩闹啊闹的已经麻木了，可是越想越不对之前再怎么闹也没有闹到有谁说要退出乐队啊，已经18年风风雨雨走过来了，不管怎么样我都觉得至少乐队对于他们俩来说还是共同的目标，没想到这次是真的闹大了。

从NME到oasisinet到豆瓣再到群里，很快就感觉到事态有点一发不可收拾了，但直到看到诺叔在Diary Article的statement才真正意识到，对于诺叔在将来某一天回心转意的期盼越来越成为痴人说梦。

第一次看到如此严肃而又有点小煽情的语句出自诺叔之口，我承认在看的时候泪水在眼眶打转。

Dearly beloved, it is with a heavy heart and a sad face that I say this to you this morning.
As of last Friday the 28th August, I have been forced to leave the Manchester rock'n'roll pop group Oasis.  
The details are not important and of too great a number to list. But I feel you have the right to know that the level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable. And the lack of support and understanding from my management and band mates has left me with no other option than to get me cape and seek pastures new.
I would like firstly to offer my apologies to them kids in Paris who'd paid money and waited all day to see us only to be let down AGAIN by the band. Apologies are probably not enough, I know, but I'm afraid it's all I've got.  
While I'm on the subject, I'd like to say to the good people of V Festival that experienced the same thing. Again, I can only apologise - although I don't know why, it was nothing to do with me. I was match fit and ready to be brilliant. Alas, other people in the group weren't up to it.
In closing I would like to thank all the Oasis fans, all over the world. The last 18 years have been truly, truly amazing (and I hate that word, but today is the one time I'll deem it appropriate). A dream come true. I take with me glorious memories.
Now, if you'll excuse me I have a family and a football team to indulge.
I'll see you somewhere down the road. It's been a fuckin' pleasure.
 
Thanks very much.
Goodbye.
NG.

关于巴黎的那场争吵一直还不了解，不过现在至少NME是这样说的。

It has also been reported that Friday's argument flared when Liam travelled alone to the show in Paris on the Eurostar and arrived drunk. Noel, it is claimed, confronted his brother about being unprofessional and also said he was disappointed with management and security for not challenging the volatile singer before. The frontman is said to have "exploded in rage" and started saying things about Noel's children. When Liam hurled his guitar at Noel, the guitarist caught it, stamped on it then smashed it to pieces. And then he walked away.

或许OASIS已经是维系这俩兄弟关系的唯一纽带了，因为乐队他们站在同一个舞台上，或许OASIS是诺叔还没有同弟弟彻底翻脸的最后一个原因了。而当诺叔说出"They say never work with children and animals. No one mentioned fucking morons though, did they?"这样的话，他显然已经不愿意再继续忍受下去了。

说实话OASIS歌迷们一定都没有做好这样的心理准备，很多人一开始还觉得这同以前一样只是一场小打小闹，很快就会和解的，不过似乎这一次没有这么简单了。

这俩老流氓的性格使然，谁也不可能先让步，没了诺叔小LIAM依然会没心没肺下去，但是在我看来，失去了诺叔的OASIS已然与解散无异。

我始终觉得，OASIS就是这俩活宝的完美结合，没有了LIAM桀骜不驯的招牌唱腔就不会有OASIS，同样的，如果失去了诺叔，就不会再有属于OASIS的那种桀骜不驯的歌出现。我们不再会在LIAM伸长脖子背着手乱唱的时候在他身旁看到那个背着吉他一脸沧桑的帅帅的大叔拨着弦伴唱了。不会再看到诺叔深情演绎Don't Look Back In Anger时全场合唱"So Sally can wait"的景象。也不会再有兄弟俩之间在往日看来十分搞笑的纷争了。

OASIS是二元论的最好体现，这兄弟俩缺一不可。鼓手贝司手都换过无数，那无关紧要，但是诺叔是这支乐队灵魂的二分之一啊。

既然诺叔做出了这样的选择，我想所有人都应该尊重这个选择。

你说"I take with me glorious memories."，那么我想说的是，18年来正是你们使得无数歌迷的生活不再平淡，18年来正是你们用感人至深的旋律影响了整整一代人，18年来正是你们给所有人留下了璀璨的记忆。

对于我个人来说，或许邂逅OASIS还没有超过三年，但OASIS的全部已然深深刻进灵魂。无论何时，塞上耳塞，LIAM的声音总能给我一种莫名的亲切感。喜欢OASIS的原因之前我一直没想清楚，直至今日我才明白，他们是唯一一支给我带来温暖的乐队。

世上没有不散的宴席，坚持了18年之久已经是一个奇迹了。或许是时候该结束了，不过这样的方式似乎太过残忍，对于无数的歌迷来说。这次OASIS世界巡演上海站被万恶地河蟹掉，这件事情本已经逐渐淡忘，然而诺叔的退出重又撕开了伤口。或许，或许这就是OASIS的最后一次，也是唯一一次来到上海的机会。

我恨。

或许。我该学着像诺叔唱的那样，Don't look back in anger。从statement中我读出了诺叔的恋恋不舍，你带走了一段美好的记忆，同样的，给无数人也留下了一段18年的美好记忆。我们已经永远地put our lives in the hands of a rock 'n' roll band了。

我会永远记住你们的。就像一切的过往。

你们永生不死。
