The drummer contributed to Oasis' Definitely Maybe album and the group's first UK Number One single "Some Might Say", which featured on their second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?.
McCarroll was replaced by Alan White in 1995, who stayed with Oasis until 2004.
Four years after being dismissed from Oasis, McCarroll sued the band for £18 million, and later accepted £550,000 as part of an out-of-court settlement and agreed to give up royalties from Oasis songs.
