John Lydon 'Saddened By Oasis Split'

Sex Pistols singer John Lydon has confessed to being gutted that Oasis have split.

The punk icon was saddened to hear that guitarist Noel Gallagher had walked out of the rock group at the end of last month, following an alleged fight with younger brother Liam.

"It is sad." Lydon is quoted saying by Female First. "They're a nice backdrop on a dull day. There's no content or depth to Oasis but it's still poignant."

"Noel is fantastic, one of Britain's finest." He added, before suggesting Gallagher junior had copied his vocal style: "Liam's alright if you want a second-rate Rotten."

"I remember hearing Rock 'n' Roll Star for the first time and it sounded like John Lennon and John Lydon mixed together."
