Oasis are 7/4 to officially split up before the end of the year, reports bookie Paddy Power.
Oasis 7/4 to split by end of 2009
With rumours of almost irreconcilable differences between brothers Liam and Noel all summer, the bookie is betting on when the band will next play a gig in the UK together, offering 18/1 before the end of the year and 8/1 for 2010. However fans may have to wait a while for the brothers to settle their differences and Paddy Power make it odds on at 1/2 that Oasis don’t play another gig in the UK before 2013.
Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “We’re not completely convinced Oasis will ever officially break up as, in their own words, they’re going to Live Forever. But it’s certainly looking like its going to be a long time before we see them together on a stage again, the question everybody’s asking right now is when.”
Solo Stakes
With Liam taking on more song-writing duties in recent years both the Gallagher brothers will almost certainly carry on doing what they do best, with or without each other, and Paddy Power are also betting on which sibling will be the first two have a number one solo album. The more prolific Noel is 1/3 favourite with younger brother Liam 2/1.
Liam may press on with his fledgling fashion label and is 5/1 to have his own show at London Fashion Week whilst, in the wake of Liam’s laryngitis cancelling the band’s V Festival performance on Sunday, the singer is 40/1 to advertise Listerine. Liam is 250/1 to form his own band and call it ‘The Beatles’.
On Noel’s part Paddy Power are offering 18/1 he goes on to win an Oscar for Best Song in a film, 14/1 he lands his own weekly slot on Radio 2 and 100/1 he forms his own new band and calls them ‘Noasis’.
The brothers are 50/1 to fight each other in a celebrity boxing match.
