Noel Gallagher has confirmed that he is attending Russell Brand's stag weekend and wedding.

The former Oasis guitarist told Talksport he expected to be the “token northerner” on the stag trip.

“I have no idea [who is going],” Gallagher told the radio station. “I imagine me and him, his mate Matt, all the people that work for him and his comedian mates.”

Gallagher went on to deny reports that he was set to be Brand's best man at his wedding to Katy Perry.

Meanwhile, the guitarist also revealed that he was due to head into the studio "this week" to work with an unnamed musician.
