The feud between Oasis and Blue was due to Damon Albarn sleeping with a woman Liam Gallagher was dating at the time, his brother Noel has claimed.
Noel, 52, revealed the infamous chart battle between the two rock groups kicked off after Liam, 47, found out Blur frontman Damon, 52, was seeing his girlfriend.
According to The Sun, Noel also claimed a lot of drugs were involved: ‘Liam and Damon were s****ing the same bird and there was a lot of cocaine involved. That’s where the germ of it grew from.

A new book, Don’t Look Back In Anger, claims Alan McGee, co-founder of Creation Records and former manager to Oasis, backs Noel’s account.
The businessman said: ‘There was a situation with a girl. That created the Britpop war. Damon s****ed somebody close to Liam. It was one of many women Damon was friendly with.’
He added: ‘Then he got off with her for a one-night stand and that created the rub. They were all goading each other after that.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Liam and Damon for comment.

Neither Noel or Alan named the woman in question, however fans may speculate it could be Liam’s ex Lisa Moorish.
The former couple, who are parents to 22-year-old daughter Molly, dated in the nineties and there were previously rumours Lisa had a fling with Damon.
Asked about the alleged tryst in 2003, Damon remained coy and said: ‘What can I say? We were all a lot younger and we were having a good time.’
In the new book, Noel revealed the rivalry between the bands reached its height at the NME awards in the 90s.

Noel claimed Oasis sweeped the awards and were later in a photograph with Blue, with Liam allegedly turning to the group and calling them ‘c***s’.
Noel added that Liam and Damon are both singers and singers are often wired the wrong way.
The hitmaker likened the feud to gangland wars that often start over something small or ridiculous and said the feud between Oasis and Blur was similar.
Oasis formed in 1991 and found global fame before splitting up in 2009 while Blur formed in 1988 and are still together today after taking hiatuses between 2004-2008 and 2016-2018.
