Chapter 1: A Week of Glory and Goodbye
The first week of October shaped the destiny of Oasis.
It marked both their rise and their fall.
In 1995, “What’s The Story (Morning Glory)” exploded onto the scene.
In 2008, “Dig Out Your Soul” quietly closed their journey.
Chapter 2: October 2, 1995 – A Day of Glory
On October 2, 1995, Oasis released their second album.
It was “What’s The Story (Morning Glory)?” – a cultural bombshell.
Fans rushed to buy over 345,000 copies that week.
It ruled the UK charts for ten consecutive weeks.
The album’s tracklist became legendary.
“Wonderwall”, “Don’t Look Back In Anger”, and “Champagne Supernova” defined a generation.
Oasis had officially become global rock icons.
Chapter 3: October 6, 2008 – The Final Chapter
Thirteen years later, on October 6, 2008, Oasis returned.
They released “Dig Out Your Soul” with massive anticipation.
Fans didn’t know it would be their last record.
The band embarked on a long, intense world tour.
Chapter 4: The Tour That Broke Them
Tensions exploded between Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher during the tour.
The breaking point came at V Festival in 2009.
Liam canceled due to “laryngitis.” Noel claimed hangover.
Arguments became routine. The energy turned toxic.
At Rock en Seine, things finally collapsed.
Backstage, Liam reportedly smashed a guitar like an axe.
Noel locked himself in a car instead of going onstage.
Minutes later, he decided: it was over.
Chapter 5: The End of Oasis
That night, Noel Gallagher wrote a message online.
“I quit Oasis tonight,” he said. “I couldn’t go on with Liam another day.”
That was the end. No farewell show. Just silence.
Chapter 6: After the Fall
Rumors of a reunion started immediately.
Liam Gallagher tweeted calls for a final show.
Noel ignored them, focusing on High Flying Birds.
Liam launched Beady Eye. Both found solo success.
But fans still dream of one last Oasis concert.
Chapter 7: The Forgotten Album
“Dig Out Your Soul” is rarely remembered in Oasis history.
Yet it’s a powerful, underrated piece of work.
Despite the chaos, the album still holds strong.
The final words on it? “Soldier on.”
A perfect summary of their doomed final chapter.
Chapter 8: One Week, Two Legends
Look through Oasis history. Many weeks stand out.
But none shaped the band more than this one.
In 1995, they conquered the world.
In 2008, they walked away forever.
This week gave us both the best and the last.
