Oasis Live Performance of 'Cigarettes and Alcohol' at Brit Awards
By 2007, Oasis had just released their sixth studio album, "Don’t Believe the Truth," which marked a creative resurgence for the band. The album, released in May 2005, was well-received, featuring hits like "Lyla" and "The Importance of Being Idle." At the time of the Brit Awards on February 14, 2007, they were riding high on the success of this album. Performing "Cigarettes and Alcohol," a classic from their iconic 1994 debut "Definitely Maybe," was a nod to their roots, reminding fans of the energy that launched their massive success. Interestingly, this performance was part of their esteemed presence at the Brit Awards—an event where they had previously sparked controversy, notably famously snubbing awards years earlier. This full-circle moment was both nostalgic and a testament to their enduring appeal in the British music landscape.
