More Oasis stars 'close to quitting'

Liam Gallagher's Oasis bandmates are unlikely to stand by him in the aftermath of his feud with brother Noel, it has been claimed.

Noel quit the group last week following an alleged altercation at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. He later blamed "verbal and violent intimidation" for his decision.

According to The Mirror, band members Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock are now also considering calling it a day.

A source told the newspaper: "It was always on the cards that Noel was to quit - the other band members saw it coming the night before he walked out.

"Some have already started to look for pastures new - as they have no idea how the new format of Oasis would work. Now that Noel has gone, no-one else knows how they'll put up with Liam's big gob."

"They saw how Liam treated Noel, and don't know what will happen if he does the same to them," the insider added. "They have their doubts it can survive without Noel."

The Gallagher brothers' mother Peggy recently predicted that they will reunite eventually.
