Gallagher has a go at dopey fans

Noel Gallagher has criticised Oasis fans who ask for autographs on bus tickets and fag packets, and says photos are a hassle.

Noel Gallagher has turned his ire on his fans. On the "idiots" who fund his lifestyle by buying his music and going to his gigs, he says: "I don't like having my picture taken with them because half our fans are too dopey to use a camera. I've already wasted hours of my life on idiots with cameras in their hands who can't even work the flash."

He continues: "Then there are the ones that come to you and say 'Can I have your autograph?' You say, 'Yeah, go on then', then you get, 'I haven't got a pen.' Well, you know, that's like turning up for a football match with no boots. I do get upset when people give me bus tickets to sign. I don't mind album covers, but if you're gonna come up with a bit of fag packet and ask me to sign it, I'll tell you to go and buy an album."

So remember, Oasis fans, always go everywhere with a copy of one of their albums, just in case you find yourself in need of Noel Gallagher's autograph.
