Oasis abruptly canceled the remaining five dates of their

U. S. tour yesterday including a show that was to have taken place last night

in Charlotte, North Carolina. In England, rumors are flying that the group is

breaking up. This was flatly denied by a publicist at Epic Records, the label

that Oasis record for in the U. S. We were told that Liam and Noel Gallagher

had a meeting yesterday, and that at least one of them flew back to England.

Their last live performance in the U. S. took place in Birstow, Virginia the

other night. The canceled shows: Charlotte, North Carolina on Sept. 11, Atlanta

on Sept. 13, West Palm Beach on Sept. 15, Orlando on Sept. 16 and Tampa on

Sept. 18. A press release issued today by Oasis' management reads: "Oasis have

hit internal differences on their 9th tour of the U. S. which has resulted in

the tour being pulled 2/3 of the way through. It is unlikely their immediate

touring commitment will be fulfilled.
