Noel Gallagher picked up the Outstanding Collection prize at today’s prestigious Ivor Novello Awards – having earlier said he only attended because One Direction weren’t invited.

Liam Gallagher has said he is skeptical about the authenticity of his brother Noel‘s new-found friendship with Damon Albarn during an interview with NME.

Noel Gallagher has said The Jam, The Smiths, The Stone Roses and Oasis were almost ‘part of the same song’ due to the uncanny career span which the four seminal bands enjoyed.

Gallagher has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live’s Men’s Hour as the programme prepares to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Smiths’ debut single ‘Hand In Glove‘ on May 5th at 9pm.

“It was quite fascinating to think that The Jam split in ‘83 and that’s when The Smiths first appeared,” Noel says. “And then as soon as The Smiths disappeared The Stone Roses appeared, and then as soon as The Stone Roses disappeared Oasis appeared. And it’s almost as though someone’s moving the chess pieces around. Someone’s going ‘well you had your go…’ – we’re all part of the same song I reckon.”

The full programme will be aired on the BBC station on May 5th. “I don’t know you’d have to ask him,” Gallagher continues when asked if he thinks his brother Liam would consider The Smiths to be ‘effeminate’. “He probably doesn’t know what effeminate means. So you’d have to ask him. I can’t speak for him anymore. Thank God.”

Noel Gallagher has turned down the overtures of Simon Cowell for a second time.

Noel Gallagher reveals that he was recently approached by Miles Kane and Hurts to work on their albums this year.

The High Flying Birds front man plainly admitted to NME that he doesn’t want to be working all the time and that’s why he turned down both projects.

Didn’t take long.

Liam Gallagher has offered his thoughts on the much publicised onstage reconciliation between Noel Gallagher and Blur bandmates Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon over the weekend – and unsurprisingly he’s not been gushing with praise.

Paul Weller, Ryan Adams and Blur pair Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon could all be joined onstage by Noel Gallagher later this month at the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts in London.

Muse have joked their drummer Dominic Howard is switching back to real cigarettes after he came in for criticism from Noel Gallagher last week.

Noel Gallagher is ready to debut ‘a couple of new songs’ during his performances in Dubai and London later this month, but has insisted the decision doesn’t mean a second solo album could arrive sooner than expected.

Noel Gallagher has paid homage to David Bowie‘s single ‘Where Are We Now?‘, and has said the nature of Bowie’s comeback proves that ‘reunions are fucking shite’.
