Noel Gallagher Brands Blur Song 'A Great Tune'

Noel Gallagher praised Blur's 'Beetlebum' on Russell Brand's Radio 2 show on Saturday night (September 28).

The Oasis guitarist and songwriter branded the group's 1997 Number One single "a great tune", and told Brand that he liked it when the DJ offered him a choice between the song and The Smiths' 'Still Ill' on the radio show.

The guitarist also explained more about the current state of his injuries – Gallagher was knocked over onstage by a fan earlier this month.

Speaking to Brand, Gallagher said: "[My ribs] are on the mend. The next gig is in ten days in Liverpool. I'm not gonna be right for that, it takes another five weeks to heal up, but we've got to start that tour 'cause it'll be two years' work out the window!"

Oasis' tour starts at Liverpool Echo Arena on September 7.
