Having played the Staffordshire leg of the event, the band pulled out of Chelmsford after Liam Gallagher caught viral laryngitis.

Liam Gallagher forced out of tonight’s (Aug 23) festival-closing set due to illness

Oasis have cancelled their headline slot at the Chelmsford leg of the V Festival tonight (August 23) due to singer Liam Gallagher falling ill.

The frontman is suffering from viral laryngitis.

The Manchester band performed last night (August 22) at the Staffordshire leg of the festival, although after that set Noel Gallagher blogged that he too felt unwell, writing: “Don’t feel too clever. Outrageous stomach ache. Feel like I’m coming down with summat (sic)”.

Tonight’s show was due to be Oasis’ final UK date of their ‘Dig Out Your Soul‘ world tour.

An Oasis spokesperson explained that the V Festival slot was the first gig to be cancelled on the year-long trek.

“After a year of being on the road this is the first performance to be lost to a band member’s illness, so naturally we are all completely gutted. Liam is resting up and should be fine to resume the tour next Friday (August 28) in Paris,” they explained.

Snow Patrol will now headline the V Stage at Chelmsford tonight.

Noel is set to hook up with the psychedelic band Amorphous Androgynous to perform their epic re-working of ‘Falling Down‘ on September 17th at Matter in London. Their 5-part, 22 minute remix of ‘Falling Down‘ was released earlier in the year as a B-Side to the Oasis single and received great reviews.

Readers of Noel‘s ‘Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere‘ will be familiar with the band as upon finding their album last year he wrote, ‘If you’re wondering what to ask Santa for x.mas, ask him for an album called “A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding In Your Mind (Vol 1. Space Rock)”. It’s a compilation album by someone called “The Amorphous Androgynous” (I’d hazard a guess that’s a made-up name). I’ve had it on in the dressing room for a month now. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever, ever heard. Go and find it NOW! It’ll blow your tiny little minds.’

This special, one-off performance is to celebrate the release of Amorphous Androgynous’ new album ‘Vol 2 – Pagan Love Vibrations’ which will be available to buy from 26th October.

Classic 70s space-rock pioneers Hawkwind are also set to perform so it’s sure to be a very special gig!

Tickets are now on sale HERE!

A’reet.

Last night? Blinding. Very, very hot. Loud crowd.

Bridlington’s like the land that time forgot. Y’know that tune by Morrissey, “Every Day Is Like Sunday”? Surely he wrote it about Bridlington? Nice people though.

Legged it to York straight after the gig with Burning Natty. Had to get an early train back to London in the a.m. Got some family business to take care of.

The York races are on so there was some wonderful sights on the platform. Fat orange birds in ludicrous hats.

Day off today. Heading back up north tomorrow. Going to see City before we smash the V Festival in Stafford.

Yes. The massive. How on earth is everyone? All good? Wonderful.

Fuck me, I enjoyed those 2 weeks off. Had some beautiful quiet nights in with Nancy and a couple of truly magical nights out with.. well, if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me. I will say this though, there was royalty involved!!

Had a few days on the Amalfi coast in Italia. Very nice. Lovely weather.

What else? BUT, OF COURSE!! The football season’s started. Me and Burning Natty and various comrades made our way up to Blackburn to see Man City take the first steps of the new revolution. What a day! Must’ve been 10,000 Blues there. Unbelievable atmosphere. Bit like an Oasis gig.

Talking of which, I’m at Kings Cross Station. Former home of Russell Brand. Catching a train to York. Got a gig tonight at a health spa in Bridlington. A warm up for that V Festival this weekend. If you’re coming, I’ll see you there. I’ll be stage right. Being brilliant.

Phew. Just back from that whistle stop tour of the far east. Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong. 5 days. 2 gigs. Lots of noodles and a million air miles. My phone didn’t work out there and I wasn’t keeping notes so you’ll have to do with what I can remember, which doesn’t bode well. Here goes.

At Heathrow, on the way out, I bumped into that Jenson Button. He’s a racing car driver. A famous one. Pretty good too, by all accounts. And I seen that Stephen Fry. He’s famous for knowing pretty much everything.

Got hassled by a man (I think it was a man!) in a kilt. Who wasn’t famous or Scottish, just annoying. The flight was mobbed. Watched that film about that heavy metal band “Anvil”. Fuckin’ funny. Metal is though, innit?

Was met at the airport by that girl who invented the “Noel Or Die” sign. Only now she’s made t-shirts. With me as a Simpsons character who looks more like Tom Hanks!! Do I look like Tom Hanks?

Tokyo was hot, damp and humid. Tried to stay awake by shopping my bollocks off. It was a minor success. Had some noodles – real ones – and went to bed. So far, so good. Had a great kip. Unbelievable. 10 hours! A personal best.

Man City was on the BBC World News for meeting that Nelson Mandela!!! MAN CITY!! No one gave a monkey’s ’bout Man City 6 months ago, now we’re on the news meeting world leaders! Now that is mental.

Still hot and humid, only now it’s raining, and I mean raining. Monsoon gear. Biblical.

Missed the train to the gig. No panic. They literally run every 3 minutes. Got to that Fuji Rock just in time to see my old mate and soul brother #1, Paul Weller. Hadn’t seen him play since May. He was well psychedelic. It pissed down all the way through his set. Good though.

Had to drive back to Tokyo after. 3 c**ting hours. Grim as fuck. Still raining. Hard, boiling hot rain.

Didn’t get any kip that night. Not a single second. Flew to Seoul the next day. Feeling slightly mental. I thought I was losing my eyesight at one point. Totally fucked.

Can’t remember much after that. Apart from 2 things. I seen an advert for a play called “Breakout”. It was billed as an “Extreme dance comedy”!? EXTREME DANCE COMEDY? What on God’s green earth is that gonna be like? And what’s extreme about it? The dance or the comedy? Ludicrous dance comedy, more like. Not only that, I seen an Italian restaurant – in Seoul – called “Mad For Garlic”!! MAD FOR GARLIC?!!! And it was fuckin’ packed.

The gig was immense. They really do know how to do that synchronised hand clapping shit in Korea. Spectacular. Jet – the band – were on before us. Hadn’t seen them since that American tour in 2006, was it? They’ve been in the gym, let me tell you.

Flew home the next day (have I missed a day?). Had a 5 hour stop-over in Hong Kong. Caught up with the English newspapers. Mardy-bum John Terry’s not coming to City. Halle-fuckin’-looya. Ate more crisps than even Irie Nancy could imagine. Bored shitless. Slept like a small elephant on the flight home. Arrived at a deserted Heathrow at 5.05 this morning.

Hope this made sense, if it didn’t, fuck’all y’all. It’s 3 o’clock next Thursday afternoon in my head.

In a bit.

Oasis are taking legal advice from top city law firm Carter Ruck after a story appeared today in a number of online publications, including The Guardian Online falsely claiming that Liam Gallagher “stormed out of” an Oasis gig at the Roundhouse in London last night.

A spokesperson commented, “The story that Liam left the gig is totally untrue. Liam put on one of the performances of his life last night, leaving the stage only for a few minutes during songs sung by his brother Noel as is always the case. The whole show was captured on film by ITV so fans will soon see the truth of this. It is very difficult to understand why supposedly respectable publications would publish such malicious and damaging claims.”

Oasis recently voluntarily refunded over 20,000 ticket holders when their Heaton Park, Manchester concert was delayed by 40 minutes due to power problems, despite the band going on to play a full two hour set.
