Keane Offer Olive Branch To Oasis

Keane have offered an olive branch to Oasis after Liam Gallagher branded the trio a bunch of “posh lightweights”.

Liam slated the band after frontman Tom Chaplin spent a short spell in rehab where he was treated for drink and drug addiction.

However, speaking exclusively to Mirror.co.uk, Keane songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley, above right, said he was still a massive fan of the band.

He said: “I absolutely worshipped Oasis as a teenager. They were one of the biggest influences on us when we were starting out . I hope sooner or later they come to enjoy our music as much as we enjoy theirs some time.”

Tim rang us to talk about Keane’s new album Perfect Symmetry, their third, which hits the shops on October 13.

Tim explained: “There’s a lot of different instruments on there, lots of new sounds – even African percussion and electric saw!
