Noel Gallagher says he would like to play a villain in the next 007 film and would happily write the next Bond song if asked.

The Oasis rocker, 58, also said that any track for the next instalment should be performed by a British artist. Asked how he would respond if Barbara Broccoli phoned him up, Gallagher said: “I’d say ‘all right Babs’... for Oasis to do it?

"Absolutely, yeah of course, it’d be an absolute honour, you know. I think those kind of things should be done by Brits and, you know, not Yanks.”

He also clarified that he has not been asked, amid speculation the band were top of Amazon’s wishlist. However, he joked on TalkSport with Andy Goldstein that he would be up for playing a “Mancunian villain” in the film.
