  Oasis formed in Manchester in 1991 and became one of the defining bands of the Britpop era and one of the biggest bands in the world, releasing seven albums in the 1990s and 2000s. Its constant members, the brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher, had a tempestuous relationship. The brothers split acrimoniously in 2009 during their Dig Out Your Soul Tour, between an appearance at V Festival and a scheduled performance at Rock en Seine in Paris on 28 August 2009. After the group disbanded, the Gallagher brothers each formed their own bands, Beady Eye and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, while regularly insulting each other in the press.
