OASIS split because NOEL GALLAGHER never forgave brother LIAM for jokingly suggesting he was not the real dad of daughter ANAIS.
Noel flew at his brother after the comment about nine-year-old Anais - his daughter by ex-wife Meg Matthews.
Liam insisted it was meant as a joke, but Noel could never forget the insult, calling it "unforgivable".
On the band's website, Noel blamed "verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family and comrades" as his reason for quitting.
And he thanked fans for giving him "glorious memories" and added: "It's been a f***ing pleasure."
An insider said of Liam's joke: "It was a dumb thing to say. They had a big fight when he made the gag. Noel went for him. He was in a blind fury. And he still hasn't calmed down."
The pair never managed to patch things up after the row - and Liam has never even met Noel's one-year-old son Donovan by girlfriend Sara MacDonald. Tensions built up during their recent world tour until a bust-up in Pairs led to Noel finally quitting band on Friday.
Now the warring brothers are set to fight each other again in the charts. Liam has been secretly recording tracks and already has songs ready to hit shops.
He knows it'll take Noel, 42, months to record his much-anticipated debut solo album. Liam, 36, reckons his effort will be so good it will destroy Noel's boast that he was the creative force in Oasis.
Liam told a friend: "If Noel thinks he can just walk away from me and the band then I will obliterate him. He'll be begging to rejoin my band."
Oasis's split was the big talking point at Reading. La Roux singer Elly Jackson said: "If I was Noel, I'd be a bit p****d off really. He wrote all the songs. Liam's just got an annoying voice."
