Posted February 2, 200718 yr Beatle to hand Oasis top award SOME Might Say Brits bosses have played a blinder by getting RINGO STARR to help them out of a tight spot. THE BEATLES drummer is to hand over an award to the legendary band’s biggest fans — OASIS. And just as well — NOEL and LIAM GALLAGHER are still so angry at their album Don’t Believe The Truth being sensationally overlooked in last year’s award nominations that they had vowed they would only turn up to accept their Outstanding Contribution gong if someone “amazing†could hand it to them. Brits bosses had thought they were on a winner when they lined up JOHNNY DEPP to do the honours. But the Hollywood star has pulled out of his duties at the last minute due to a clash with his filming schedule. I am a Male Female looking for a Male Female Either aged 20s30s40s50s60s70s80s90s So organisers — desperate to get the boys to the ceremony at London’s Earls Court on February 14 — thought big and nabbed Ringo for the role. It is the perfect lure for band members Liam, ANDY BELL, Noel and GEM ARCHER. Oasis — whose hits include Go Let It Out — credit The Beatles as their biggest musical influence. The boys even recruited Ringo’s son ZAK STARKEY to play with them at live dates in 2005 and got him in as drummer on their album Don’t Believe The Truth that same year. At the time, I told you that Noel was “gutted†that despite coming to know Zak so well, he had still not managed to meet Ringo. He said: “It’s obviously not meant to be.†So it’s no surprise the band are over the moon about the drummer’s role at the Brits. A source said: “Noel is well chuffed. It is the ultimate accolade for the lads to be honoured by their heroes. “It is something they have dreamed of ever since they were starting out in their Manchester bedrooms.†Back in 1977 The Beatles were the first band to receive the Brits’ Outstanding Contribution prize. So having a member of the group passing the baton to Oasis will be a magic moment on what is set to be a magic evening. Hosted by RUSSELL BRAND and going out live on ITV1, acts performing on the night will include AMY WINEHOUSE, SCISSOR SISTERS, THE KILLERS, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and TAKE THAT. Let’s just hope the great moment really does happen. Sources tell me Noel and Liam have had another of their rows and are on grunting-only terms at the moment — meaning one or both might decide to be a no-show. Come on lads — you owe it to your heroes to Let It Be.
February 2, 200718 yr Well they probably would not have turned up if Sir Paul McCartney was presenting them the Award after Macca said (in a loaded gun question: "Who do you prefer Blur or Oasis") he prefers Damon (Albarn)'s back catalogue to the Gallagher's brothers as it is "more varied and interesting to listen to..." :lol:

I guess he was more of a Lennon fan :P
