Here is the devastating reason why Noel Gallagher decided to leave Oasis after a fateful row with his brother Liam in 2009.

By now you'll be well aware that an imminent reunion between the Britpop icons is expected to happen very soon, with the brothers sharing the same cryptic message across their social media platforms last night.

Should the band decide to reunite it would be a highly anticipated one, with fans pleading to see the brothers back on stage together for most of their respective solo careers.

Noel and Liam finally putting their differences aside would also be a long one in the making, as the two brothers have previously shared some less than kind words about each other.

Why did Noel Gallagher leave Oasis?

The story of the Manchester band's 2009 implosion is one of rock n' roll legend.

Ahead of a set at Rock en Seine festival on 28 August, 2009 in Paris, an argument broke out between the brothers. Reports of what happened backstage vary, however the row would lead to Noel getting into a car, leaving the venue and making the monumental decision to quit the band.

He would put out a statement a few hours later which read: "It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight.

"People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."

Despite appearing the regret his actions in an interview with Absolute Radio years later, Noel would go on to say that he believed the shock split helped cement Oasis' status as one of the great British bands.

Speaking on Sky Arts' 2021 programme Noel Gallagher: Out Of The Now, the musician, 57 recalled the impact of the 2009 break-up and said 'with the benefit of hindsight it was the best thing for me and for the band'.

"I'd written every meaningful song that was ever recorded by Oasis. And it was my life, I directed it and creatively it was my thing. With the benefit of hindsight it was the best thing for me and for the band," he explained.

"Because the band now, Oasis back in 2009 were not lauded as one of the greats of all time. There was a kind of undercurrent of, 'well they should really call it a day'. That's what I felt anyway."

He continued: "I felt that people had stopped listening to the records and were coming to see us trot out the hits, and it's a position I never wanted the band to be in. But now, of course, we're seen as up there with all the greats."

Despite a fair amount of frosty words over the years, it seems like the brothers are now on better terms again, with Liam even dedicating Oasis classic 'Half the World Away' to Noel during his Reading set last night (25 August).

Both brothers and the official Oasis social media accounts have also shared a cryptic 27.08.24 post which has sent fans into a frenzy.

As for what this means, we don't have much longer to wait until we find out.
