A band of musicians grouped together by more than just music, but by blood, all of the below made great music.  But some ended their bands due to ugly family feuds.

And if so does it make for better music when we come to bands? Whether or not we know, the world of musical family groups have been around since the beginnings of popular music.

Both their parents were in the entertainment industry but the most interesting family connection was that the sisters were given vocal training by their grandmother Viola Williams, a former lyric soprano opera singer and prot\u00e9g\u00e9e of civil rights leader\u00a0Mary McLeod Bethune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ad4474caf4f78886b876a7f37243744a wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Louis and George Johnson: The Brothers Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1736883a3a15ce5d5daca276e992fdf5 wp-block-paragraph\">Louis Johnson and his older brother George initially made up the band The Brothers Johson who grew up in LA during the city\u2019s musical heyday of the 50s and 60s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7a269aac5371ab7862625a2665853b53 wp-block-paragraph\">Initially playing whilst at high school with their brother Tommy and their cousin Alex Weird before landing with Billy Preston\u2019s group from 1971 to 1973 and later\u00a0Quincy Jones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stomp!\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TFY1_zZ5Nc4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2f93c8525525fac8c746da0c44fcc366 wp-block-paragraph\">Their musicianship was highly regarded and they even earned nicknames, &#8216;Lightning Licks&#8217; for George\u2019s slick guitar style and &#8216;Thunder Thumbs&#8217;  for Louis\u2019 signature slap bass. They achieved their greatest success from the mid-1970s to early 1980s, with three singles topping the charts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d48d3f420beedbe9570a787c844e6a51 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ron and Russell Mael: Sparks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-906bee74054b9bbd935f5f829cb41c24 wp-block-paragraph\">If you lived in the UK in the 1970s then no doubt you would have watched Top of the Pops, a seminal chart pop music show on television on a Thursday night. Then you would have seen what seemed like the very strange site of two LA brothers  Ron and Russell Mael who created the synth\/pop\/art band Sparks. Their idiosyncratic,  stage presence, is typified by the contrast between Russell&#8217;s animated, hyperactive frontman performance and Ron&#8217;s\u00a0deadpan\u00a0visual. Russell Mael has a distinctive wide-ranging voice, while Ron Mael plays keyboards in an intricate and rhythmic style.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sparks - This Town Ain&#039;t Big Enough For Both Of Us (TOTP 1974)\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AfA4FphZHbc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b1f5177cb21ffc4dfe7894368ae54b5f wp-block-paragraph\">Over the course of four decades, they have created  23 albums, yet largely remained a cult act, but their influence is immeasurable, and they have affected many later genres including\u00a0synth-pop,\u00a0new wave,\u00a0post-punk, and\u00a0alternative rock While the band\u2019s line-up has shifted over the years, the band in its early line up contained another set of brothers Earle and James Mankey. But the two industrious brothers are still a constant fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0f7d773bc5eec909205c89ce10a8fb3d wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas, The Jonas Brothers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7dd1895ddea5aa52c548ce69eeda0f1e wp-block-paragraph\">In 2005, three brothers Joe, Kevin and Nick recorded &#8220;Please Be Mine&#8221;, \u00a0Upon hearing the song, the\u00a0Columbia Records\u00a0president\u00a0Steve Greenberg\u00a0decided to sign the brothers as a group.\u00a0They considered naming their group &#8220;Sons of Jonas&#8221; before settling on the name Jonas Brothers.

The guitarist and singer\u00a0Thom Yorke\u00a0and the bassist\u00a0Colin Greenwood\u00a0were in the same year; the guitarist\u00a0Ed O&#8217;Brien\u00a0and the drummer\u00a0Philip Selway\u00a0the year above. Colin&#8217;s brother, the multi-instrumentalist\u00a0Jonny Greenwood, was two years below Yorke and Colin, and the last to join. Initially, when these school boys formed the band in 1985, and they were called On a Friday, a reference to the day they rehearsed in the school&#8217;s music room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Radiohead - No Surprises\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u5CVsCnxyXg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8c8abc8f20cd6173dd82470a4348b9f5 wp-block-paragraph\">No Surprises video was just one of many music films the band was heralded for and the fact the band often worked with new and young directors. Consistently praised the band is considered with their\u00a0experimental\u00a0approach, of advancing the sound of\u00a0alternative rock and has gone on to influence many musicians.  The name &#8216;Radiohead&#8217; was chosen as the band&#8217;s new name at the end of 1991 and was taken from the song &#8216;Radio Head&#8217;  on the\u00a0Talking Heads\u00a0album\u00a0<em>True Stories<\/em>. Yorke said the name &#8216;sums up all these things about receiving stuff &#8230; It&#8217;s about the way you take information in, the way you respond to the environment you&#8217;re put in&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-81c86f2b25e02ee65b1e95e6f10bdda4 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, Michael Jackson: Jackson 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7ba4d704ebf9c6a93d75847245655f06 wp-block-paragraph\">Probably one of the most<strong><em> <\/em><\/strong>famous sibling groups of all time before the then 5-year-old little Michael went on to become one of the biggest pop stars in the world. During the 70s they were a hitmaking machine for Motown and their funky, soul-pop sound took a big step away from bubble gum pop teen bands of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I Want You Back - The Jackson 5\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s3Q80mk7bxE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e5783f6492f0b4ef32ed075682b8161f wp-block-paragraph\">The group was founded in 1964 in\u00a0Gary, Indiana, and for most of their career, their father Joe acted as their manager.  The group was among the first\u00a0African American\u00a0performers to attain a crossover following, but overexposure and solo careers saw the demise of the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a1f9db317466cad7522c264b50f7e4ca wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, in the &#8216;happy families&#8217; band, there has to be <strong>The Bee Gees.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b8ee28cc2303175a12e8c79fbac73e17 wp-block-paragraph\">Formed in 1958 by brothers\u00a0Barry,\u00a0Robin, and\u00a0Maurice Gibb the trio who made up the group The Bee Gees (the brothers Gibb).   The brothers spent almost 20 years having success with ballads, \u00a0three-part\u00a0tight harmonies, and pop standards throughout the 1960s and part of the 1970s.  But it was at a point when the band was on the slid down, that producer Robert Stigwood asked them to create the music for the film Saturday Night Fever.  The opening credits to the film, literally set the scene for the music medley to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Saturday Night Fever (Opening Credits)\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HVEqy6K18Yo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a5b15799a8b9137490f27f2108e8952c wp-block-paragraph\">The film and the music were hugely successful and the band became the most prominent performers in the\u00a0disco\u00a0music era in the mid to late 1970s and gained worldwide recognition.  Interestingly although disco was in fact on the &#8216;way out&#8217; the music they created for the film blew the disco music wide open again and it resurged and became popular all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bd721dbb0175dd9bcc40685bb106d019 wp-block-paragraph\">The Kinks INXS,  ACDC, Hiam, and countless other bands made up of family members had great success and stayed together producing music as a united group.  But then there were the famous siblings, (think of those Oasis brothers) that had spates, epic fallouts, public arguments, and even violent breakups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9a4da19af72c574addb5f2f579974ef0 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Don and Phil Everly: Everly Brothers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1d846c48a9cafa2654ccbd0221a5a2f4 wp-block-paragraph\">Don and Phil Everly were the perfect harmony singers. But offstage the brothers had a very different &#8216;song to sing&#8217;. It probably didn&#8217;t help that they were forced to perform together from the ages of six and eight for their family\u2019s radio show throughout the late 40s.  In the late 50s, the duo rose to fame as they<a href=\"https:\/\/www.udiscovermusic.com\/in-depth-features\/rocknroll-is-here-to-stay-how-rock-has-always-rolled-us\/\">\u00a0<\/a>took off with hits in the US and the UK. Known for their country-inflected rock with steel-string guitar, the brothers held it together long enough to inspire an entire generation of artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6d0b95cfda7fb70b2aa270d95ab60c29 wp-block-paragraph\">By 1964 both of the Everlys were addicted to\u00a0amphetamines. Don&#8217;s condition was worse, as he was taking\u00a0Ritalin; his\u00a0addiction\u00a0lasted three years until he suffered a\u00a0nervous breakdown\u00a0and was hospitalized to treat his addiction, and this became the beginning of the end. The big hits started to fad by this point too. By the late 1960s success started to appear again but behind the scenes, things were beginning to truly fray between the brothers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/vaCctV3j6m4?feature=shared\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-474da6b76c50acb5a42ec020c659c62c wp-block-paragraph\">All of this led up to what was announced as the final performance before a two-year break for The Everly Brothers set to take place at Knott\u2019s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California on July 13th and 14th, 1973.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c3b10a7073733b6df20868736e71a892 wp-block-paragraph\">But by the time Don Everly was set to take the stage on July 14th, he was clearly drunk. He was slurring words and forgetting some of the lyrics to the songs, something unheard of for Don Everly even in his worst state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2ee85bd9e7b9c090e9d4d68ab39fad2c wp-block-paragraph\">Don Everly lashed out at Phil. Embarrassed and frustrated, Phil slammed his guitar down on the stage, smashing it. As he walked off the stage, he said to the promoter,\u00a0<em>\u201cI\u2019m really sorry, Bill, I have to go. I can\u2019t go back on stage with that man again.\u201d<\/em> As Phil once said, \u201cWe only ever had one argument.

The Wilson brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl, add in their cousin Mike and friend Al Jardine this group turned into one of the most compelling groups in popular music; the Beach Boys.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-be68b7164afa64b1d29551d39704e101 wp-block-paragraph\">Since their formation in Hawthorne, California in 1961, the band seemed to represent the California Sound and the &#8216;All American dream&#8217;, \u00a0Defined by their harmonies, the band was all, sunshine, girls, and cars.  They evolved into one of the most influential bands and sibling groups in pop and rock history. But it was not a happy band of campers. Technically they&#8217;ve never &#8220;broken up&#8221; since they first formed way back in 1961, but it&#8217;s not exactly been calm waves and sunshine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9af4f9ed2d3fb5df3dad289213d0c5e3 wp-block-paragraph\">In their earliest days, the main tension in the group wasn&#8217;t between its members, but between the young lads and Brian, Dennis, and Carl&#8217;s dad Murry who was a musician of sorts and the band&#8217;s manager. But he was undoubtedly verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive to all his sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e0ee6d633ed7324e2ec1f01cdd8a7cb8 wp-block-paragraph\">The only non-family member Al Jardine quit the group a few months after their debut single. His replacement David Marks was out quite soon too, having seriously fallen out with Murry Wilson. Eventually, the band separated from patriarchal management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-34cd995c27d1e091490e49890e5a758e wp-block-paragraph\">As well as being the key songwriter in the band, Brian also produced the band&#8217;s albums, remarkable for someone barely out of their teens. In the winter of 1964, Brian suffered a nervous breakdown and retired from touring with The Beach Boys, whilst remaining their principal songwriter and producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8bc48fa6372c931ae7c19ce459a615ca wp-block-paragraph\">Despite previously being anti-drugs, Brian leaped into the use of mind-bending substances. Graduating from marijuana into LSD, he was never quite the same again. A change in musical direction driven by Brian was the beginning of the end. The album Pet Sounds\u00a0was seen by many as if it was a Brian Wilson Solo Album in all but name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9af2551fb1942448ce395ba88363a3a0 wp-block-paragraph\">Mike Love and Al Jardine were said to think the music was too &#8220;arty&#8221; for The Beach Boys. All of the band (and especially Mike) had some reservations about the oblique lyrics. Dennis and Carl have insisted that they all loved Brian&#8217;s material. Al has admitted on the record to being blindsided by the changes. More albums came but after the years of Brian&#8217;s creative dominance of the group, his cousin Mike Love slowly started to wrest control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6dab71dc69a2510b8389a12bbbb2ed80 wp-block-paragraph\">By the time of 1969&#8217;s\u00a0album 20\/20, Brian had admitted himself into a psychiatric hospital, leaving the rest of the band to piece the record together. Stangly At that time, Dennis was said to be inseparable from killer Charles Manson (before the murders).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-234fd9165b1fb521ea4f466918f480c8 wp-block-paragraph\">A long story told short Brian had severe mental health issues and members of the group struggled with alcohol, drugs, and love-life issues and Brian occasionally turned up to live shows all aided the cracks to deepen. The sacking of members added new members all fuelled the turbulent relationships to the breakpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-28615c7d8e7b86fe0c4c7cc1b3188159 wp-block-paragraph\">Mike Love attacked Brian with a piano stool during a show at Wembley Stadium in 1977, members of the band took sides meaning the band travelled separately to the same gigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-12369671f5bb0f41a2cac7982deba642 wp-block-paragraph\">Dennis was ordered to go to rehab with the threat of being banned from live performances with the band. The following month he drowned while diving from a friend&#8217;s boat in Marina Del Rey. He was only 39.   However, things finally gave when in 1992 Brian Wilson released his memoir<em>\u00a0Wouldn&#8217;t It Be Nice: My Own Story.<\/em> It sparked a load of lawsuits, with Mike Love, Carl Wilson and Wilson&#8217;s matriarch Audree all filing claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2f0ebc9848e601f0342b2cf34080e288 wp-block-paragraph\">Mike Love settled for $1.5 million for defamation and later won $13 million for lost royalties and was added as a co-writer to 35 Beach Boys songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations (Official Music Video)\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/apBWI6xrbLY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3fe086840fa4ac406ac779a37a42d174 wp-block-paragraph\">In 1997, Carl Wilson was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer. He continued to tour with The Beach Boys until his death in February 1998 at the age of 51. Over the next decade or so after Carl Wilson&#8217;s death, it seemed like the Beach Boys couldn&#8217;t stop suing each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e008999321edeae36e4b268cd554e295 wp-block-paragraph\">Although different members of the band did play together again fractionally in the end, two separate bands existed one called The Beach Boys and one under the banner of Brian Wilson Presents<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5ce7183c8f55bf191bc924b64c5fa789 wp-block-paragraph\">The Beach Boys, Good Vibrations seems somewhat untruthful once you know the family and band&#8217;s story<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3c036a9fe9bf9c1dfe3b907698abd452 wp-block-paragraph\">And finally, two bands and two sets of brothers do not make for a harmonious trip.  When Oasis and\u00a0the Black Crowes hit the road together in the summer of 2001, they jokingly called the tour Brotherly Love. That\u2019s because the brothers at the core of both bands had spent the past decade very publically fighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Black Crowes - Hard To Handle\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BRcs_OzQb14?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6a31e9925d9addad696901980f09bb2d wp-block-paragraph\">Chris and Rich Robinson dissolved the band just a few months later, reunited it three years after that, and then saw it collapse yet again in 2015. Rich Robinson said it came down to a business dispute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-efc74d8f1ee92b7b227e4a90db13a560 wp-block-paragraph\">Liam, and older brother Noel, Gallager have had major tensions from when Oasis hit the big time in the 1990s. Initial fights seem to have started between the pair when they emerged on their first American tour in 1994, because Liam frequently changed the lyrics of Noel&#8217;s songs to annoy both his brother and American listeners. The result was a physical clash between the boys and a chair being thrown, prompting Noel to abruptly quit the tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8fafb89f9b87be6346bf0cc2d60d3d1a wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"amp-readmore-target\">Similar anger emerged a year later during recording sessions, as Liam invited an entire pub&#8217;s worth of people to the studio where the band was working and this considerably riled Noel so much so that he hit Liam with a cricket bat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-36179e0facc63e75d8deb0f4ab5503e8 wp-block-paragraph\">A little bit of quiet time before it kicked off again on tour in Spain which saw a drunken altercation occur between the pair. Noel punched his brother and split his lip open after Liam questioned the paternity of Noel&#8217;s child with Meg Matthews, Anais. This even prompted Noel to briefly depart the band before returning days later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ac82529d26f59101cedc47e4ef64de6a wp-block-paragraph\">Liam went on to have what Noel described as a &#8220;diva fit&#8221; when performing in Japan by acting up and walking off of the stage during the show. However, the final straw came for Noel in 2009 when he publicly quit the band. Still to this day, they are feuding mainly on social media and in the press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ccca426f4e5a6e2fa874644e4b3c4d24 wp-block-paragraph\">As much as blood makes a family, it really can be anyone you want that makes up your unit, whether it be bandmates or actual family relatives, certainly neither guarantees any kind of harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d0d69d58816bf7d54e6d805e60defeab wp-block-paragraph\">If you enjoyed reading
