Chris Sharrock, Robbie Williams’ drummer, is to replace Zack Starkey as the drummer in Oasis, according to reports.

Sharrock has apparently grown tired of waiting for his employer to release new material and has joined on the request of the Manchester band.

The claims, in today’s Mirror newspaper, come just three days after reports that said Starkey and Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher had fallen out with each other.

Zarkey, who is the son of former Beatle Ringo Starr, has been an unofficial member of the band since 2004 and is their third drummer.

In today’s Mirror, an unnamed source says Sharrock’s introduction is “sure to infuriate” Williams, who’s had an ongoing feud with Oasis throughout his career.

"Everyone thinks Chris has had enough of sitting on the picket line and not playing music,” they added.

"Oasis aren't striking against anyone so at least he'll be getting a bit of action now."

Chris is just following in the great Zak’s footsteps ...first the Lightning Seeds, now Oasis. I first heard Zak play at the Red Lion pub in Sunningdale 20 odd years ago, he was s*** hot then and now just can’’t stop kicking arse. He rocks!

One of the best drummers in the country and I have had the pleasure of playing with him. Oasis, you really are a lucky band to have him on your team! Well in lads...

the drummer is the bus driver he drives the music i think oasis as one in a full whole descion as a band,and not noel and his self patriotic fukn views.Would have kept zarkey. just listen to the difference Noel mate dont believe the truth.fud.

i went to Oasis last night in brum and chris rocked the nia - master class of drumming.
~ by dazza james 10/15/2008
Technically, Chris will be bored s***less within one tour, Oasis aren't exactly noted for their creative drumming are they? Zak is slightly better than his old man - that's about as good as he gets!
