Scissor Sisters and Gallaghers heal the breach

Scissor Sisters' Ana Matronic says she has settled her band's dispute with Noel and Liam Gallagher, telling Metro she hugged Noel at the Brits and was called a 'top bird'.

According to an interview in Metro, Ana Matronic has overcome the dispute between her band Scissor Sisters and the Gallagher brothers, who have, as previously reported, criticised the New York pop band.

Matronic explained how she met the Oasis duo at the Brits earlier this year, telling the paper: "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. 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".

Matronic also spoke about an encounter with Paul McCartney at Live 8 back in 2005, saying: "I saw Sir Paul McCartney walk by and thought: 'Now's my chance,' and said: 'Excuse me, Sir Paul, could I...?' But before I could ask, he asked me for my autograph. He was collecting them on his programme for his grandson, I think. It was mind-blowing for a Beatle to be asking me for my autograph".
