Keane 'want Noel Gallagher for new LP'
Keane keyboardist Tim Rice-Oxley has claimed that he wants Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher to produce the band's next album, according to reports.

The group covered Oasis' 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' at this year's V Festival, following the Manchester rockers' decision to pull out of their headlining slot.

Rice-Oxley told the Daily Star: "I often wonder if Noel is almost resisting the truth that Keane and Oasis are alike in a lot of respects. I think we share a lot of fans. We are both bands of the people.

"People love coming to a Keane show and an Oasis show because there's a directness to the songs and people come together in a very communal way."

He added: "It would be great for Noel to produce us - I offer the olive branch. We're huge fans."
