5. Be Here Now: Blair, Blur And a Backlash

In the lead up to the release of Be Here Now, Oasis tabloid mania
is at fever pitch, but what should be the crowning glory of their
career is slowly unravelling. The band faced a series of
challenges, many of their own causing, and the album is released
to massive fanfare... and industry paranoia. We learn about the
chaos that followed the group at the time, the backlash that came
after the release of Be Here Now, the Australian tour affair that
almost resulted in a major diplomatic incident and how Noel’s
visit to number 10 changed everything.
