Kasabian guitarist Serge Pizzorno thinks Noel Gallagher is “Mexican” - because he loves tequila.

The rocker - who is close friends with the former Oasis guitarist - says every time he has a night out with the ‘Falling Down’ songwriter they end up drinking huge amounts of the strong South American shot.

Serge said: “I think Noel might be part Mexican the he goes at tequila.”

Kasabian singer Tom Meighan agrees with his bandmate and insists 42-year-old Noel lives up to his hard partying reputation with ease.

He said: “Noel is very much a tequila man and moving from bar to bar - brilliant.”

Although Tom enjoys a night out with Noel, he insists his brother Liam, 37, is as equally good company.

The ‘Fire’ singer added: “Liam can sit on the same stool with ten pints of Guinness but you only have to chat with him for an hour and you’ve travelled through the f***ing universe on a magic stairlift. Two very different propositions but both brilliant.”
