Noel Gallagher wants Oasis mini me

Noel: Round his way
Noel: Round his way

Noel Gallagher has said that he wants his sons, eight-year-old Donovan and five-year-old Sonny, to form the next Oasis.

Speaking at the Q awards in London, Gallagher said he would not discourage his sons from becoming riffs off the old block. "No, because we were f***ing great," he said in reference to Oasis. "I don't know if you heard but we sold like 70 million f***ing albums" he said.

"So my lad has got a drum kit in his bedroom and a guitar, I don't know what he's trying to do f***ing at both of them at the same time or something. He's also left-handed, which is slightly annoying," he added.

However, Gallagher also said he won't be teaching his kids how to play guitar because he himself "just kind of magicked it up" his own playing style.

"So my lad has got a drum kit in his bedroom and a guitar," he said. "I don't know what he's trying to do. He's also left-handed, which is slightly annoying," he said.

He added that if musical instruments are "lying around the house" children are more likely to pick them up.

"I don't say, 'guitar lessons today from three until quarter past'. If they do it they do it, and if they don't they don't."

He also said that his sons are more interested in hip-hop than his music. ''They're not listening to me that's for sure. They listen to a lot of hip hop which is lightly annoying. They listen to what they're mum listens to and she's kind of urban as well. Hip-hop hasn't grown on me, to be honest."
