Oasis' Noel Gallagher: 'Days Of Blur Rivalry Have Long Gone'

Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has said the days of the band's bitter Britpop rivalry with Blur are over.

Various music publications have attempted to re-ignite the feud this year following Blur's decision to reform.

But in a message on Oasis' website, Gallagher said he hoped both band's members had “grown up a little” since the mid-90s.

TV presenter Jonathan Ross attempted to question the guitarist about the era on his radio show last Saturday.

However, Gallagher, who pre-recorded the show on the Friday, refused to respond negatively to Ross' questions.

Writing about the interview, Gallagher said: “He's a naughty boy, Jonathan. He was determined to try and get me to have a pop at the Blur re-union. Not this time.

“Those days are long gone. Although it was fun at the time I'd like to think we've all grown up a little bit since then. He has, and it was funny though.”

Oasis played a sold-out show at the Eden Project in Cornwall last night.

The gig followed their three-night concert residency at London's Wembley Stadium last weekend.
