這是針對先前幾家報紙放出 Oasis 在演唱會上「詛咒觀眾被噓下台」的誇大新聞 所做出的官方回應： Oasis to sue over Brighton allegations 17.12.2002 Oasis are considering legal action against a number of UK tabloid newspapers which carried stories over the weekend claiming that the group were booed offstage during their show at the Brighton Centre last Wednesday (11th December) and that Noel wished the fans "died of hypothermia". Oasis 考慮對數家英國八卦報採取法律行動，盛傳一個禮拜以來關於 12/11 號上星期三 在 Brighton Centre 演唱會數個不實的報導，包括樂團被噓下台還有 「Noel 希望歌迷冷死」等言論。 A spokesperson for the band said "The story that first appeared last Friday as the cover story of the Daily Star is an incredible distortion of the facts. The truth is the show in Brighton was a successful concert that passed off without incident. The band were not booed offstage, Noel did not wish anyone died and we have a recording of the show to prove it. Those of us who were at the show and many of the industry guests including journalists who attended were shocked to read the press stories. We couldn't believe they were talking about the same show. 樂團的發言人表示，「這些“故事”首先出現在上星期五 Daily Star 的封面，根本 是不可思議的在扭曲事實。實際的情況是 Brighton 的演唱會成功結束並沒有發生 任何意外事件。樂團既沒有被觀眾噓下臺，Noel 也沒有希望任何人冷死， 我們有當天的錄影存證可以證明。當時有在現場的人包括業界的記者佳賓都很驚訝 出現這樣的報導，我們簡直不敢相信他們說的和我們實際參與的是同一場演唱會。」 "Whatever the press think of members of the band personally, Oasis are one of the most successful and exciting live bands ever to come out of this country. They have never been booed offstage in their ten years of touring. There have always been parts of the UK press who obviously have a vendetta against the band and resent their success but this is really going too far and we cannot accept this fabrication without response." 「無論各個媒體私底下如何看待樂團的成員，Oasis 還是這個國家所培育出最成功 也最令人興奮的 live band 之一。在成軍十年巡迴以來他們從沒有被噓下臺， 顯然的英國有部分媒體對 Oasis 帶有偏見和宿怨，見不得他們成功， 但這次的事件真的太過分了，我們無法忍受這樣的捏造事實而不作出回應。」 The group are also considering action in relation to a newspaper article that claimed the first night of their UK tour in Cardiff was far from full, when in fact the show had sold out in less than half an hour. 此外樂團也考慮對其他報紙的不實報導採取行動，像是有報導文章指出 Oasis 英國 巡迴第一站 Cardiff 的票房乏人問津，而事實上那場演唱會的票半小時不到就售窯。 http://www.oasisinet.com/ Cheers!
