Noel brands Liam a 'lunatic'

Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher has branded his bandmate brother Liam a "lunatic", insisting he is too easily led to be taken seriously.

Noel, 39, is convinced his younger sibling still has the personality of a very young man, despite being 34 years old - and he regularly exploits Liam with his superior intellect.

He says: "Liam has really long hair at the moment and looks like a lunatic, which is about right.

"He's still a very silly young man and talks out of his a**e 23 hours of the day.

"You say: 'Hey Liam, what about putting a choir on that song?' He'll say: 'Brilliant, yeah, a choir, man.'

"Then someone will go: 'Choir? That's a bit poncey isn't it?' And he'll be like: 'Yeah, no, choirs are ... rubbish.' So you can have good fun with Liam in the studio!"
