After Oasis disappointed fans at their recent Heaton Park shows following a power cut, Noel Gallagher has slammed the fans who have demanded a refund.
Currently being asked to shell out a whopping £1 million to the fans that he actually offered a refund to, Gallagher has criticised these 20,000 "cheeky" individuals, mocking them on his blog; "So you were genuinely disappointed?" he wrote. "There wasn't a 20,000 gap in the crowd.”
The weird thing is though, the fans aren’t going behind the musician’s back, as the guitarist did actually announce during the show that; "this is a free gig from now on" after the band were forced to leave the stage twice during the gig, but now it seems that Gallagher is revoking his offer.
During the show he said; "The generator blew up… if you can believe they run these things on a generator these days – what is it, the 1950s? So we had to borrow one from Argos. But it turned out OK. I'm regretting offering you your money back now."
Although in actual fact, out of the 70,000 attendees on that fatful Thursday, less than a third took Gallagher at his word… and pretty luckily too, because if all 70,000 had requested their £45 back, Oasis would have lost £3m. Ouch!
But let’s face it, a loss of £1 million isn’t something I’d like to ever have to deal with, and clearly it’s leaving a nasty taste in noel’s mouth… well that’ll teach you to think before you speak from now on Noel…
