Williams: Oasis on lap of honour

Robbie Williams has predicted that Oasis will not get back together and said that they have been "on a lap of honour" for the last 13 years.

According to The Sun newspaper, the singer also claimed that the band had done little of note since their mid-1990s heyday.

Williams said: "Originally I thought they'd inevitably get back together because they are the band. But reading between the lines, they're both really stubborn so I don't think they will."

"To be honest, I know there's history between us and this isn't very complimentary, but they've been doing a lap of honour for the past 13 years."

He added: "There's been the occasional gem here and there, 'The Importance Of Being Idle', and, well, that's about it."

Noel Gallagher has described Williams as "that fat dancer from Take That".
