Noel Gallagher, the lead guitarist and songwriter of the British rock group Oasis, announced yesterday his decision to quit the band, reported CNN.com. Gallagher cited his fallout with his bandmate and brother, Liam Gallagher, as the reason. In a statement on the band’s Web site, Gallagher told fans he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”

The band was on a European tour for its album “Dig Out Your Soul” and was scheduled to perform in France, Germany and Italy in the coming weeks. Noel Gallagher apologized to fans who had bought tickets for the shows.

Oasis had already canceled another gig at the V Festival in Britain this past weekend because Liam Gallagher had said he was sick and couldn’t sing.

Oasis is considered to be one of the pioneers of the Britpop movement of the early ’90s, gaining stardom with their 1994 hit “Supersonic” followed by one of their most famous tracks, “Wonderwall.”

Oasis fans are announcing their disappointment in the band’s troubles while others are celebrating:
