Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno backs Noel Gallagher in Elton John row

Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno has backed Noel Gallagher in his spat with Elton John, calling the pianist a fat man in a tracksuit.

I used to think Kasabian weren't so bad, but after this latest news, I may have to rethink my position. Not, I hasten to add, because I'm a massive fan of Elton John, or anything. It's more to do with my relationship with the Gallaghers, which, as you may have gathered, is somewhat strained.

So, what's happened is this. Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno has backed Noel Gallagher in his recent verbal spat with Elton John. You may remember that Gallagher said Elton John wasn't capable of buying his own milk, and Elton responded by calling Noel "an absolute tosser who looks like Parker from 'Thunderbirds'". Which to be fair, he does a bit.

Pizzorno says: "Elton's just a fat man in a tracksuit. Whereas anything that comes out of Noel's mouth is absolute genius. Noel is the last man you want to start with. He's so quick he can destroy anyone. Elton John needs to watch out."

Yeah, if I were Elton John, I'd be positively trembling.
