Nelly Furtado was upset to hear her idols Oasis were splitting up, when Noel Gallagher quit the 'Roll With It' rockers last month.
The Canadian singer has been vocal about her admiration for the Gallagher-led band during her younger years, and she even wanted to date frontman Liam.
"I was inconsolable when Oasis split up." Contact Music quotes her as saying. "That band meant the world to me."
"As a 16-year-old I would write letters to Liam with my photo attached and pray that he would ask me out on a date, but he never did. At college I learned to play guitar to Wonderwall."
"Oasis were everything I loved about pop music. They could express emotions with the most simple song structures. They had the kind of brash attitude I could completely relate to."
Nelly Furtado has just released her debut Spanish-language album 'Mi Plan'.
