Gallagher brands Albarn feud 'pathetic'

Noel Gallagher has heaped praise on rock rival Damon Albarn, branding the former Blur frontman a "great artist".

The pair famously swapped insults during their 1990s Britpop heyday, with the feud boiling over when Blur's 'Country House' track beat Oasis' 'Roll With It' to the top of the UK charts in a head-to-head battle in 1995.
