Gallagher praises new Oasis drummer

Liam Gallagher has praised Oasis's new drummer Chris Sharrock for his drinking capabilities.

Gallagher said that he admires Sharrock, Oasis's fourth drummer, for drinking Stella and not being a "lightweight".

"It was cool when we went out the other night," the frontman is quoted as saying. "Chris didn't chew me ear off, he let me speak. He drinks Stella and he's not a f**king lightweight. He can handle his beverages and he can play the drums."

Gallagher added that he does not care about Sharrock's previous attachment to Robbie Williams's live band.

"F**k the Robbie Williams thing," he said. "F**k Robbie. Chris was the only thing that was good about that clown."
