Keeping a Beady Eye on Noel Gallagher

TIMID former Oasis bass player Andy Bell has finally stuck up for himself and had a pop at old bandmate Noel Gallagher.

The gentle giant, now in Liam's band Beady Eye, had some uncharacteristically harsh words for Noel about his version of events on the night Oasis imploded in Paris a couple of years ago.

At the launch of his solo career a few weeks back, Noel blamed the split on a fight with Liam over Pretty Green - among other personal problems they had.

He also claimed Liam wasn't able to play the V Festival in 2009 due to a hangover and not because of laryngitis claims.

But Andy disagreed, saying: "B*******!

"He lied about a lot of things.

"The argument about Pretty Green was lies, what he said about V Festival and the fake laryngitis was lies.

"I don't know, maybe he's convinced that's the truth.

"I don't know what goes on in his head. I know him, so I'm not disappointed, that's what he's like.

"I know how he spins the Press - he's used the Press for years.

"Interviews and Press are secondary for us, that's his life.

"There were three of us in that room and I'm telling you it was nothing to do with Pretty Green.

"I'm not going to add more fuel to the fire.

"But I've ended up in a band with Liam, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock, with the same management and road crew.

"But at the same time, I wish him all the best. I want him to be happy."
