Drummer Zak Starkey will play no further role in recording singles for the forthcoming Oasis album, it’s been reported.
Starkey, who has been an unofficial member of the band since 2004, has apparently fallen out with guitarist Noel Gallagher.
Speaking to the Sun Newspaper, a source said: “There have been arguments with Noel Gallagher and general disagreements.
“It looks like the album will be his last involvement with the band.”
Starkey, the son of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, is the band’s third drummer after Alan White and Tony McCarroll.
The reports come just under a week after three unheard Oasis songs - ‘Nothing On Me’, 'I Wanna Live A Dream (In My Record Machine)' and ‘Stop The Clocks’ - leaked online.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the band said the songs were “old” but wouldn’t say whether they were scheduled to appear on their new album.

- I hope this isn’t true - I think he looks really good with the band!!

- yeah, ’cos ”looks” are really important when you need a drummer.

- Noel you idiot...not only do sack a great drummer...you dont even change you’re socks until you’ve fired one (in reference to the sun’s article) Well done Noel *claps*

- Oasis have had their day - since Masterplan (which was b-sides anyway I might add), they ain’t done nothing worth recognition. Starkey probably realised in the end that both Gallaghers are as arrogant as they are self absorbed, listening to them twonks on a daily basis is enough to send anyone on the off.
