  • Liam Gallagher Issues Libel Proceedings Against Noel Gallagher
    Press Release Carter-Ruck Solicitors 19 August 2011 6 St Andrew Street London EC4A 3AE LIAM GALLAGHER ISSUES LIBEL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST NOEL T 020 7353 5005 GALLAGHER F 020 7353 5553 DX 333 Chancery Lane www.carter-ruck com Liam Gallagher , the former lead singer of Oasis, has issued High Court proceedings for libel against Noel Gallagher. Liam Gallagher said: “I have taken legal action against Noel Gallagher for statements he made during the Electric Cinema press conference on July 6 th during which he claimed Oasis pulled out of the 2009 V Festival Chelmsford gig because I had a hangover. That is a lie and I want Oasis fans, and others who were at V, to know the truth. I was gutted when I couldn’t play the gig because I didn’t want to let the fans down. But the truth is I had laryngitis, which Noel was made fully aware of that morning, diagnosed by a Doctor, preventing me performing that night. Noel also falsely stated that the demise of Oasis followed a massive row in which he claimed I demanded to advertise my clothing range Pretty Green in the Oasis tour programme. The truth is there was no such discussion or row between us. There are many reasons why Oasis split. But it had nothing to do with my clothing range. I am used to being called all sorts of things by Noel and I have in the past said things about him, but what Noel has alleged this time went way beyond rock- and-roll banter and questioned my professionalism.

  • Rare Beatles Memorabilia Offered at Christie's
    For Immediate Release 31 August 2005 Contact: Rhiannon Bevan-John 020.7752.3120 [email protected] RARE BEATLES MEMORABILIA OFFERED AT CHRISTIE’S LONDON IN SEPTEMBER Rare first working draft of lyrics for I’m Only Sleeping writing in John Lennon’s hand (Estimate in excess of £200,000) Pop Memorabilia Wednesday, 28 September 2005 at 2pm South Kensington – Leading Christie's Pop Memorabilia sale on 28 September 2005 is a rare first working draft of the lyrics for “I’m Only Sleeping” penned by John Lennon in 1966 for the groundbreaking Revolver album, which is estimated to fetch in excess of £200,000. This popular sale features over 230 lots of memorabilia relating to pop royalty from The Beatles through to Oasis, with estimates ranging from £200 up to £200,000. The Beatles / John Lennon Given personally by John Lennon to the current owner, the first draft of the lyrics for “I’m Only Sleeping” have remained in a private collection for over 30 years and appear at auction for the first time. The 17 lines were mostly written in blue pen on the reverse of a final demand from the GPO for Lennon’s car phone bill of £12.3.0 dated 25 April 1966. Page 1 of 3 “I’m Only Sleeping” is John’s first song on the groundbreaking 1966 Revolver album. Mark Lewisohn describes Revolver as the album which “shows the Beatles at peak of their creativity…one of those rare albums which is able to retain its original freshness and vitality. Quite simply…a masterpiece.” In a Rolling Stone interview in 1968 with John Cott, John Lennon said of “I’m Only Sleeping” and other of his classics such as “Lucy in the Sky” and “Strawberry Fields” that they were songs “that really meant something to me”.
