Its never been revealed, but I comments made by Noel since makes it pretty pbvious its because Alan didnt hang around with the band after he had finished recording his parts for stuff etc.

Yeah I just meant maybe the last couple tours and the last album sessions dixon.

I liked him much as a drummer and even got to meet him during BHN tour. Just keep watching all these vids and keep seeing him. Cant believe hes not in the band.

really quite and un-funny, and bad dress sense and quite a large head , and now unemployed , poor alan

i dont no much about drums , but i thought he was top

According to Steve White's (Alan's brother) website, Alan left Oasis because he had no desire to be in a band anymore. This is from Steve's site, "Hi Biz, no website, no band, no drumming, crying f**king shame if you ask me. The spirit of being in a band was kicked out of him my friend, maybe sometime soon, but he is very happy and very healthy and keeping very well". You can find this reply on Steve's site www.whiteydrums.com in the Talkback/Ask/Replies section.

No problem. I found it quite interesting. I think Alan did lose interest in the band and in drumming. I found that his drumming on the Heathen Chemistry tour was no where as good as his drumming on previous tours.

I'm at my 18 and I'm doing drumming courses. I asked the drummer what is this tendonitis and he said: "it's like an elephant stamp on your hands and forearms". figure it out.

I'm glad alan is ok. maybe he'll return at some point in oasis. and I think that gallaghers miss him, despite showing their arrogance in the press and statements: "he's no longer in the band. we asked him for that. he leaked tHC. his commitment wasn't good." they didn't miss Guigsy and Bonehead, but White - I think if he show up in a couple of years - they'd take him back.

how many drummers has he played with tho?

still.. he is a quality drummer

the inspiral carpets drumer , he used to mess about with them pre shows while rodioin, i read it in some book

This is only hear say but i have it on good grounds, that it was Alan who let the last album be leaked out by lending a copy of it to a mate. Noel and the rest found out about this and he had to go. It was also pointed out to me that Alan did not do it delibratly. The album was lent in good faith.

This is probably a load of bullshit, but, one of my friends uncles is Whiteys best mate or something along those lines and my friend said that Whitey did his parts for the new album and then he wanted to go on holiday, he told Liam he wanted to go on holiday so Liam said no you cant and you're staying in the studio, then Whitey said well I can't deal with this shit, and so Liam said yeah you're sacked and apparently they had a good old bitchfest.

^^Take it for what it's worth
