Damon Albarn claims he and old rival Liam Gallagher "get on famously".

The Blur frontman and the Oasis singer have been feuding since the mid-90s when the two Britpop giants went head-to-head in the charts with their respective singles 'Country House' and 'Roll With It'.

Damon insists he and Liam have put their differences behind them, but he and Liam's brother Noel still don't speak.

He told Britain's NME magazine: "The weird thing is I get on famously with Liam, but me and Noel never talk. For some reason the chances of me and him having a normal conversation are off limits."

However, Damon is happy he and the Oasis guitarist - who famously said he wished the Blur singer would get AIDS at the height of their feud - haven't made up, because he'd have to admit he'd grown up.

The musician - who created animated pop group Gorillaz and has just formed a new band The Good, The Bad and The Queen - added: "I can't make it up with Noel. Britpop would be over and heaven forbid that we'd ever admit we'd all grown up! Britpop still reigns supreme over Britain as a musical force and will do until Blur and Oasis split."
