Noel Gallaghar on his Oasis
Thursday,

Noel
Gallagher
has
joked
Oasis
will
be
just
like
"Sting" after
they
win
the
Outstanding
Contribution
To
Music
award
at
tonight's
BRITs.
The
guitarist
is
unsure
of
whether
he
should
be
proud
to
receive
the
honour
because
it
means
his
band
is
officially
getting
old.He
told
Britain's
NME
magazine:
"We're
finally
up
there
with
Sting,
Eurythmics
and
Sir
Bob
Geldof,
so
I'm
not
sure
that
congratulations
are
in
order.
We're
taking
it
now
because
otherwise
they're
going
to
ask
us
every
year.
It
seemed
the
right
time.
We'd
put
out
our
'best
of'
album,
'Stop
The
Clocks',
and
we're
all
under
40.
So
we
just
decided,
'F**k
it,
let's
just
do
it
now.'
"
Despite
Oasis'
wild
reputation,
Noel
has
warned
anyone
expecting
him
and
brother
Liam
to
bring
some
drunken
anarchy
to
the
ceremony
this
year
will
be
left
disappointed.The
rocker,
who
is
famed
for
his
hellraising
behaviour,
insists
they
want
to
close
the
show
with
a
blistering
performance
and
then
get
drunk.
He said: "I hope people aren't waiting for us to smash the place up or something.
We're just going to play five songs, have a party and get f***ed. We haven't got anything special planned - we're not that sort of band. The organisers did say, 'Can you do a medley of your greatest hits?' But I find that slightly pretentious."Oasis have livened up many BRITs ceremonies with their outrageous antics. In 1996, a drunken Liam famously insulted the late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence on stage as he collected an award with the band, saying: "Has beens shouldn't be giving awards to gonna bes!" The group have won several BRITs during their career, including Best British Breakthrough Act in 1995 and Best British Album in 1996 for '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?'.
