DAMON ALBARN SLAMS OASIS BROTHERS

Damon Albarn has nothing nice to say about Oasis

Damon Albarn has slammed Oasis for appearing at the BRIT Awards.The former Blur singer - who has been feuding with brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher (left) since the Blur versus Oasis Britpop chart battle of the mid-90s - says it was "unnecessary" for Oasis to accept the Outstanding Contribution To Music award and perform at last month's ceremony. Damon told Britain's NME magazine: "The BRITs is like the shopping channel for famous people. I don't really understand why Noel and Liam did the awards, it didn't seem necessary. Their contribution is obvious."They're certainly better than Sting, so why put yourself in a position when you're putting yourself into a linage following him? I don't understand it."Noel - who said he hoped Damon would "catch AIDS and die" at the height of their feud - recently said he liked Damon's new band The Good, The Bad and The Queen. However, Damon insists he will never be friends with the Oasis guitarist. He said: "I can't make it up with Noel. Britpop would be over and heaven forbid that we'd ever admit we'd all grown up! Britpop still reigns supreme over Britain as a musical force and will do until Blur and Oasis split."

LIAM GALLAGHER CALLS ROBBIE WILLIAMS "FUCKING DRAMA QUEEN" FOR GOING TO REHAB FOR HIS DRUG PROBLEM

Drama Queen Robbie Williams

Liam Gallagher has branded Robbie Williams a "fucking drama queen" for checking into rehab.The Oasis frontman has blasted his rival for seeking help for his prescription drugs addiction on the eve of the BRIT Awards , and says he only did it to be on the "fucking front pages" of newspapers. Speaking backstage at Wednesday night's star-studded ceremony,Liam ranted: "What's his fucking problem, man? We all know what it is - he's a fuckng drama fucking queen. If you've got a problem why do you want the whole world to know about it? He has to be on the front fucking pages, doesn't he? Just sort your fucking self out man."If you take drugs you end up in rehab unless you're like me."The 'Cigarettes and Alcohol' singer - who along with the rest of Oasis picked up the Outstanding Contribution To Music award at the BRITs -believes Robbie is hooked on pills because he can't cope with the criticism levelled against his last album 'Rudebox'. Liam added: "You make a crap album and then you want everyone to feel fucking sorry for you. Although they were briefly friends in the mid-90s, Liam and Robbie have been feuding for years since Liam's brother Noel labelled the 'Angels' singer"the fat dancer from Take That" in 2000. Liam is engaged to Robbie's ex-girlfriend, former All Saints singer Nicole Appleton, and the pair have a son, Gene. Robbie checked himself into The Meadows rehab centre on Tuesday on his 33rd birthday. He is believed to be hooked on anti-depressant Seroxat, anti-anxiety relaxant Xanax and the painkiller Vicodin.

WILD 'OASIS' WILL NEVER SPLIT UP

Noel Gallagher says Oasis will never split up. Despite his often tempestuous relationship with brother and bandmate Liam, the guitarist insists he will never disband the group because his still wouldn't be rid of his troublesome sibling anyway. He told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "If we weren't related, Oasis would have ended after a couple of records. But I have always got to put up with Liam. There's always Christmas and kids' birthday parties. And, as bad as it sometimes is being in a band together, I think it would be worse for each of us not working with each other. I don't know why I say that, because in theory it would be bliss, but I kind of know, deep down, that it wouldn't work."Noel insists Liam, known for his wild behaviour and outspoken views, still hasn't grown up and is very much still a "very silly man". He added: "He's still a very silly man. He's got really long hair at the moment, he looks like a lunatic. He still talks out of his arse 23 hours a day. It's like a comedy sketch. You say, 'Liam, what about putting a choir on that song?' And he says, 'Yeah, brilliant. Fucking choir, man. Top.' Then someone will go, 'Choir? That's a bit poncey, isn't it?' 'Yeah, no, choirs are shit mate. Fucking rubbish.' So you can have good fun with him in the studio."Oasis will collect the prestigious Outstanding Contribution To Music award at next week's BRITs and are set to close the ceremony with a performance of their biggest hits.
