Noel Gallagher's departure from Oasis has been described as a "sad day" for music by the man who originally signed the band.
Alan McGee, the founder of Creation Records, attributed the split to a "change of consciousness" that meant money was no longer enough to motivate people.
He said: "People don't do things for money any more."
"I know how much money Oasis were making from their tour - you could buy two very good football strikers with that amount.
"But it's very hard for someone to do what they really don't want to do."
He described the split as "the end of the age of materialism".
But, he added, Noel's walkout was a "really, really sad day".
The bust-up is the brothers' most serious one to date, he said, but he predicted that they may tour together again in about five years' time.
He said: "I think this is pretty major. Noel's a proud person, he won't go back on it.
"And he knows he could make a successful solo album."
