UK hit rock band Oasis were formed in 1990 but were originally called "The Rain".
At the time of Liam joining the band his brother Noel had been working as a roadie for The Inspiral Carpets.
Liam saw a poster advertising a gig at The Swindon Oasis leisure centre on Noel's bedroom wall and thought "Oasis" was a good name for his group and that is how the name was found.
On August 28, 2009, Noel announced that he was leaving the band.
