Oasis man reignites feud as he replaces Zak Starkey

Oasis's Noel Gallagher has reignited his feud with Robbie Williams by stealing his drummer.

Following the departure of Zak Starkey, Gallagher has recruited Chris Sharrock, who used to drum for Williams as well as recently The La's.

Gallagher famously called Williams a "fat dancer".

A source told The Daily Mirror: "Oasis and Robbie have an ongoing feud. This move is sure to infuriate Robbie.

"Everyone thinks Chris has had enough of sitting on the picket line and not playing music (Williams is currently in dispute with label EMI).

"Oasis aren't striking against anyone so at least he'll be getting a bit of action now."

More likely to do with the La's connection than Robbie surely?

Another half bakes story cooked up by the tabloids. The reason Noel has taken Chris on is because he used to drum with his favourite band, The La's, many years ago. As if Noel gives twho hoots about upsetting Blobbie!

Yeah, saying that Noel is taking him on to annoy Robert Williams is giving the fat, pop-idol a bit too much credibility. The La's are The Tits, good job as always Noel.

Please, Robbie could care less. And if he cares he should have realized not everyone has his money and can take exorbitant amounts of time off work. And I am a Robbie fan but I have to say, you snooze you lose!

Chris is a great drummer. This news gave me wonderful old memories that I used to see him playing as a member of THE ICICLE WORKS in the 80's...
