Noel Gallagher: Amy Winehouse is a destitute horse

Oasis songwriter criticises the Back To Black singer

Noel Gallagher and Oasis are working on a new album Dig Out Your Soul

Noel Gallagher has hit out at troubled singer Amy Winehouse.

The Oasis guitarist, 41, labelled her a 'destitute horse' during Chris Moyles's Radio 1 breakfast show last week.

And he criticised her pal DJ Mark Ronson, 32, for failing to pen his own material.

'He wants to write his own tunes instead of ruining everyone else's,’ he said.

‘Mark Ronson needs to learn three chords on the guitar and write a tune.'

Fiery Noel, who claimed he was still drunk from the night before, also slagged off rock rivals Kaiser Chiefs.

'I did drugs for 18 years and I never got that bad as to say, "You know what? I think the Kaiser Chiefs are brilliant".'

The BBC defended its decision to have him on the show.

'As ever Noel was a lively and opinionated guest,' said a spokesman.

'Of course Radio One does not condone drug abuse and if we felt our guest was drunk we would not put him on air.'
