£2 million from The Beatles in 1995 – to sue Oasis for £18 million. Arguing McCarroll was owed his part of the band's five-album deal with Creation, the case hoped to set a legal precedent, as McCarroll would have claimed compensation for two LPs on which he had not played. Eventually, he accepted an out-of-court settlement of £550,000 in March 1999 and agreed to give up future royalties. Life after Oasis In an article building up to Oasis' seventh studio album Dig Out Your Soul in Q magazine in 2008, it was revealed that McCaroll was last seen in 2000 performing with the band Raika. McCarroll's biography about his time in Oasis, entitled Oasis: The Truth, was released in October 2010. McCarroll was also interviewed for the documentary entitled Oasis: Supersonic in 2016 and the audio was included in the film. Personal life On 30 August 2021, McCarroll revealed via Twitter that he had been admitted to hospital five days prior after suffering a heart attack, but stated that while he was "not out of the woods yet", his recovery was progressing well and thanked the NHS staff for their services. The following day, McCarroll tweeted that he was "all good" and had left hospital after having been fitted with a coronary stent to regulate his blood flow.
