Oasis: 'We're not splitting up'

Oasis have declared their intention to continue touring following speculation that they are about to split.

The Manchester rockers recently pulled out of the final day of V Festival because frontman Liam Gallagher was struck down by viral laryngitis.

Following Gallagher's earlier proclamation, which dismissed rumours that Oasis had played their last ever British show, the band have issued a statement through their official website.

"V Festival was always scheduled as the last UK gig for this Dig Out Your Soul world tour," the message explained.

"Oasis will complete the rest of the world tour in Europe and then take some well-earned time off before they begin to think about the next album and tour."
