Noel Gallagher has launched blistering attacks on Bono and Thom Yorke in a new interview.
The Oasis star accuses the U2 and Radiohead frontmen of using political issues too readily at concerts, when they should concentrate on playing the hits.
Speaking about Bono, Noel ranted to a UK newspaper: "Play ‘One’, shut the f*ck up about Africa."
Meanwhile, moving onto Radiohead, Noel said: "Thom Yorke sat at a piano singing, ‘This is f*cked up’ for half-an-hour. We all know that Mr Yorke. Who wants to sing the news?
"No matter how much you sit there twiddling, going, ‘We’re all doomed,’ at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play ‘Creep’. Get over it."
Oasis will be presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award at the Brit Awards later this month.
