Elton John has hit back at Noel Gallagher with a foul-mouthed tirade after the Oasis rocker branded him a recluse and "precious".
The Rocket Man singer is outraged that Gallagher portrayed him as an isolated celebrity who refuses to mix with the general public.
Gallagher said: "Life is a great thing, why shut yourself away from it? I can't understand people like Elton John."
John hits back: "I go into shops all the time myself... he looks like Parker from Thunderbirds."
