This oral history documents the story of Oasis as told by the fans who were there. Discover never-before-seen perspectives charting the rise, fall, and rise again of Liam and Noel Gallagher and the British rock band whose music defined a generation.
A few years after Definitely Maybe topped the charts, with â(Whatâs the Story) Morning Glory?â established as one of the UKâs bestselling albums of all time, and Oasis the reigning rulers of British rock, Noel Gallagher did the unthinkable: he broke up the band. After a string of public spats, Noel announced that he âsimply could not go on workingâ with his brother Liam âa day longer.â
Fifteen years later, the brothers announced a truce. The news sent fans into a frenzy, ticket prices soared, and Definitely Maybe was back on the top of the charts. Thatâs because for a generation of music lovers around the world, Oasis really mattered. Their combination of earthy lyrics, brazen attitude, and earworm-worthy tunes set against a backdrop of working-class experience made them relatable, memorable, and important.
And After All gives the mic to the fans that launched Oasis to stratospheric fame and takes a deep dive into the bandâs formation, history, and reunion. Through the lens of the fans who were there for all the songs, feuds, and incredible shows, journalist Melissa Locker examines the path Oasis charted as they cemented their place in modern rock history.
Voices in this fan history include the bandâs earliest PR person, superfan memorabilia collectors, musicians who toured with Oasis in the early days, concertgoers from some of the bandâs most legendary performances, official Fan Club leadership, couples who met because of the band, the DJ who inspired Noel to dare Liam to call him and may have kick-started the reunion, among many others. Their personal stories about the music, the concerts, and the band come together in a mosaic that depicts Oasisâs enduring legacy.
