Ringo Starr to present Oasis with Brit award

Ringo Starr will reportedly present Oasis with their Outstanding Achievement Award at the Brits later this month. Word has it the original plan was for Johnny Depp to present the award, but he has had to pull out, so Ringo has been asked instead (frankly, and no disrespect to Mr Depp, but Starr does seem a much more sensible choice, especially given his family connection with the band's current line up). As previously reported, Oasis are due to close this year's Brits bash on 14 Feb, after picking up their lifetime achievement gong - though Noel Gallagher has said to expect nothing special! Can't wait.
