SIR ELTON JOHN has stepped up his attack on Oasis, labelling the biggest British band of the 90s “stupid sods” for not making it in the USA.

“They went over there and argued between themselves and cancelled the tour and they never broke America,” John told Absolute Radio’s Christian O’Connell.

“You only get [the chance] once, and if you blow it, it’s gone. You can’t not regret that.

“I always thought, ‘You stupid sods. You’ll never get that opportunity again’.”

The Rocket Man was in explosive form in the interview, arguing that Oasis were “boys” compared to “men” like, um, Coldplay, Muse and U2.

“It’s only the cream that rises to the top,” he said.

“It’s the boys from the men. Coldplay, Muse, U2, all those bands. They’re the men, and all the rest are boys.”

Last week, John launched a potty-mouthed attack on Oasis in response to Noel Gallagher laughing that the Bitch is Back singer was too much of a diva to buy his own milk at the shops.

“He’s just such a tosser,” said John.

“I go into fucking shops all the time myself. He’s an absolute tosser and he looks like Parker from Thunderbirds.”
