Oasis are reportedly taking legal advice over those reports that Liam Gallagher stormed off stage in a huff at Oasis' iTunes Live gig in London earlier this week. Some dodgy news outlets (not us, surely?) reported that Gallagher stormed off stage after some alleged students in the audience threw beer at the singer.
As we responsibly pointed out at the time, while the Oasis frontman did shout at some beer throwing fans in the audience, a spokesman for the band said that was not linked to Gallagher's departure from the stage, which was scheduled. Said spokesman told the Beeb: "Liam did not storm off stage. He always leaves during Noel's songs".
Another spokesperson has again stressed there was no storming off at the gig, telling reporters: "Liam put on one of the performances of his life last night, leaving the stage only for a few minutes during songs sung by his brother Noel as is always the case", and adding that a recording of the gig to be shown on ITV would show that to be the case. Another statement on the Oasis website, meanwhile, said the band were actively considering consulting the tedious legal types at London law firm Carter Ruck about taking some sort of libel action against those who reported the alleged storm off as fact.
Of course Noel Gallagher did subsequently blog that his brother hadn't been in the best of moods during the iTunes show, suggesting that the full moon might have been the cause. Given no legal action is being discussed regarding those comments, are we to assume Liam Gallagher is a werewolf, fact?
