As the millennium approaches, Oasis are no longer sound tracking a generation. They are flat and limping along; trying, in vain, to find their place in a shifting musical environment. Noel chooses this period to get clean but he, and Liam, have divorces pending. Bonehead and Guigsy leave the group, and the band release 鈥楽tanding on the Shoulder of Giants鈥� - their comedown album. Add to this, their 鈥渨orst gig ever鈥� live at Wembley stadium and a fight in Barcelona that will fundamentally alter the brother鈥檚 relationship. And we look at how the tabloid demand for the band lead to cases of phone hacking and leaks within the camp.
