Noel Gallagher reportedly ended his verbal attack on the Scissor Sisters after meeting singer Ana Matronic.

The Oasis guitarist hit out at the band's music earlier in the year, calling it music for "squares", but a meeting with Matronic at the Brits changed his opinion of the group.

"We share the same security company, so when I heard they were hanging out backstage I marched straight up to Noel, pinched him on the cheek and gave him a big hug," Matronic explained. "If someone says something bad about Scissor Sisters I don't engage them in an argument but try to kill them with kindness and make them love me. Noel referred to me as a 'top bird' to a mutual acquaintance. He was very nice, as was Liam."
