Oasis and Paul Weller team up onstageNoel Gallagher also covers The Beatles
Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller joined forces onstage at a charity gig in London tonight (November 2).
Gallagher, watched by his brother and bandmate Liam and backed by a two bandmates including Oasis bandmate Gem Archer, was joined by his buddy onstage at KOKO, at a show in aid of drugs charity Focus.
Together they performed Weller's 2005 hit single 'Come On/Let's Go' and 'Thick As Thieves', a classic by Weller's old band The Jam, from their 1979 album 'Setting Sons'.
