Chris Martin hates it when his showbiz peers complain about being their fame. Chris — who is married to Martha Stewart-wannabe Gwyneth Paltrow — insists he is grateful for his stardom, writes Showbiz Spy. “I hate people who complain about being famous,” said Martin. “I’ve got my dream life at the moment. I’m not going to complain, it’s ridiculous.”
The frontman also said he believes one should never take stardom for granted. “You can never say you’re big — I don’t think you can ever take anything like that for granted,” he said. “That’s when you get shit automatically.”
Meanwhile, speaking of fame, Noel Gallagher has announced he is quitting Oasis because he can no longer work with his brother Liam. Noel, the group's lead guitarist, made the statement on the band's website. He said a series of rows with his brother led to the decision.
The guitarist said: "It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. "People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer. Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan," he added.
Earlier it was announced the band had cancelled their second gig in the space of a week because of "an altercation within the band". They had been expected to play the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, but fans at the concert were told by the support band that Oasis would not be performing. Many of the crowd thought it was a joke - until screens at either side of the stage showed the message "as a result of an altercation within the band, the Oasis gig has been cancelled".
Hamish McBain, from music magazine New Musical Express, said despite a long history of falling out between the two brothers, this split has an air of finality. He told the BBC: "The relationship between Noel and Liam has been frosty over the last tour, to say the least, but it's been frosty before. Noel has left tours before, Liam's not showed up for gigs before, and they've carried on. But this, certainly the way Noel's presented it on the Oasis website, it does feel like it has a degree of finality to it."
