Andy Bell: Noel Gallagher Has Lied About A Lot Of Things Surrounding Oasis' Split

Beady Eye and former Oasis member Andy Bell has said that Noel Gallagher has 'lied' about incidents surrounding Oasis' split.

Speaking at the launch of his debut solo album last month, Noel said the band's demise began when Liam asked to advertise his clothing line in Oasis' tour programme.

He also insinuated that the band had cancelled an appearance at the V Festival in 2009 because Liam had a hangover, not laryngitis has he had claimed.

In an interview with Japan Times about the recent comments, Bell said: ''Bollocks! He lied about a lot of things. The argument about Pretty Green was lies, what he said about V Festival and the fake laryngitis was lies - I don't know, maybe he's convinced that's the truth. I don't know what goes on in his head. I know him, so I'm not disappointed. That's what he's like. I know how he spins the press. He's used the press for years. Interviews and press are secondary for us, that's his life.''

He added: ''That's just Noel being Noel. All that shit. There were three of us in that room, and I'm telling you it was nothing to do with Pretty Green. I'm not going to add more fuel to the fire. But I've ended up in a band with Liam, Gem, Chris, with the same management, road crew. But at the same time, I wish him all the best. I want him to be happy.''

Noel Gallagher's 'High Flying Birds' is released on October 17 – and is the first of two albums the singer has completed.
