Williams: 'Oasis were on lap of honour'

Robbie Williams has predicted that Oasis will not get back together after their split earlier this year.

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

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."

Williams joined Oasis on stage at the Glastonbury Festival in 1995, but the group's guitarist Noel Gallagher later described Williams as "that fat dancer from Take That".

He responded that Noel was a "mean-spirited nasty little dwarf" and reportedly sent a funeral wreath to the band following the release of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants with the note: "R.I.P. Heard your latest album - with deepest sympathy, Robbie."

Gallagher later dismissed Williams's Rudebox LP as "f**king dog s**t".
