Oasis singer Liam Gallagher has officially confirmed that the band is no longer around, according to CHARTattack.

Gallagher told Britain’s Times newspaper that the band are “done” and are “no longer.” He also said he was thinking about what his next musical move will be.

There was talk of Oasis continuing to make music without guitarist and main songwriter Noel Gallagher, who left the band earlier this year after a backstage fight with his brother. However, that appears to be out of the question now.

“I know [Oasis are done],” Liam Gallagher said in the Times article. “Without a doubt. And it’s a shame but that’s life. We had a good run at it. The thing about Oasis is [we ended it.] No one ended it for us. Which was pretty, kind of… cool.”

Oasis had a rocky 2009. Earlier in the year, Noel Gallagher said he wanted to release a solo album following Oasis’ tour for last year’s album Dig Out Your Soul. His brother was not a fan of that idea.

For now, Liam Gallagher’s busy promoting his Pretty Green clothing line, which launched earlier this year. He has also become a big supporter of bees – yes, as in the bug – and publicly supports a campaign to save them.

“You’ve got to look after the birds and bees, man,” Gallagher told British tabloid The Sun. “The bees are vanishing. We’ve got to save them before they all buzz off. It’s important. It’s really worthwhile cause.”

CHARTattack reported that one-fifth of Britain’s bees died last winter, which is a devastating number considering bee products contribute 200 million British pounds each year to the country’s economy.

Gallagher apparently became aware of this problem after honey cured the throat virus that led Oasis to cancel their Virgin Festival performance this summer.

“I like honey,” Galagher added. ”If it weren’t for honey, I’d have a rough voice.”

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is stepping into the world of fashion with his own clothing line called Pretty Green.

Named after a song by The Jam, Pretty Green is described as an “up-front, straight talking, classic clothing range (with a) team made up of key industry professionals.”

The limited-edition line will include footwear, denim, knitwear, jackets, trench coats, parkas, t-shirts, hats, scarves and accessories, all subject to Gallagher’s final approval.

“Clothes and music are my passion,” the musician said in a statement on the Pretty Green website. “I’m not here to rip anyone off and I’m not doing it for the money either. I’m doing it cuz there’s a lack of stuff out there of the things I would wear.”
