Robbie Williams has taken a swipe at Liam Gallagher after the former Oasis singer played two nights at Knebworth at the weekend.
Gallagher returned to the famous rock `n' roll location, which hosted two gigs by Oasis in 1996, for his own solo shows.
On the same weekend his older brother Noel played Dublin’s St Anne’s Park, Liam performed in front of a sold-out audience of 170,000 tickets), playing Oasis songs and tracks from his latest album, C'mon You Know.
Williams played three nights at Knebworth in 2003 and speaking to the NME about the possibility of making a return to the venue, he said, "To go and do three again? I dunno.
"I listened to his [Liam’s] last album and there’s some amazing songs on there. Like proper, proper - you know, how music should be. Or how this middle-aged fella thinks music should be.
"I don’t know if you revisit [Knebworth], though. Do you revisit it? I’m sure we’d do OK if we sold tickets as cheaply."
He added, "Can I just apologise for saying the 'cheaply' thing - if you write that, can you say I apologise? I was being bitchy."
Williams releases his new album XXV - a collection of "re-recorded and newly orchestrated versions of his greatest hits recorded with the Metropole Orchestra, alongside a few surprises" - in September.
Liam Gallagher is due to play Belfast's Ormeau Park on June 24 and the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin on August 27.
