Despite the former Nirvana drummer’s constant presence at Glastonbury, Noel made a point not to chat.

‘I would just like him to wind his f**king neck in about Oasis,’ he continued. ‘I wouldn’t talk to him. I haven’t got time for that f**king mob any more.’

Dave has previously called the Don’t Look Back in Anger icons ‘assholes’ for not reforming the band, which both brothers have expressed they don’t wish to do.

He called it ‘virtue-signalling’ and asked ‘What are all the kids in a field at Glastonbury going to do about it?’

‘I don’t like it in music – little f***ing idiots waving flags around and making political statements and bands taking the stage and saying, “Hey guys, isn’t war ­terrible, yeah? Let’s all boo war. F**k the  man,” and all that.
