Liam Gallagher, the frontman of Oasis, left a Spinal Tap concert in New York after realizing the band was fictional and not English. He had believed Spinal Tap was a real group, based on the 1984 film "This Is Spinal Tap." During the concert, Gallagher was confused when the actors behind Spinal Tap performed as a folk group. His brother, Noel, explained that they were not a real band, leading Liam to express his frustration and walk out of Carnegie Hall. The incident highlights Gallagher's misunderstanding of the band’s nature, which amused Spinal Tap member Harry Shearer. He jokingly noted that he thought Oasis was a real band as well.
