Liam Gallagher has confirmed that British rock band Oasis is no longer a group, after his brother Noel left the band this past summer. 

"Well, Oasis is no longer," Liam said, speaking for the first time since the split. "I think we all know that. So that's done."

"Without a doubt," he said. "And it's a shame but that's life. We had a good run at it. The thing about Oasis is, no one ... we ended Oasis. No one ended it for us. Which was pretty, kind of... cool. I'm thinking of what the next step is musically, which is all my mind's on."

He added: "I'll be doing music to the day I die. People will be able to buy his [Noel's] records. People will be able to buy our records. So everyone's happy."
