OasisOasis frontman Liam Gallagher objected to the band's new drummer - because he used to perform with pop star Robbie Williams.

Chris Sharrock has been playing the drums in different bands for more than 20 years, and most recently worked for the Gallagher brothers' former friend Williams.

He was Noel Gallagher's first choice to replace Oasis' longtime percussionist Zak Starkey, who quit the group in May following a reported dispute with his bandmates.

Noel's decision to give the role to Sharrock was met with a hostile response from his brother Liam, but after a lot of persuading, the singer eventually agreed.

Noel says, "(I told Liam) I'm not playing in a band with some f**king kid who's gonna be marauding through the first-class lounge, throwing heroin everywhere.

"We need to get someone who's our f--king age, who's been on big tours. But Liam's still not happy about Chris Sharrock, because he's Robbie Williams' drummer."
