Robbie Williams has seemingly reignited his feud with Noel Gallagher after he placed huge billboards around Manchester ahead of 2026 BRIT Awards.
The singer, 52, famously fell out with the Oasis star, 58, and his brother Liam, 53, back at the ceremony way back in 2000 after they described him as ‘that fat dancer from Take That.’
Robbie, who was originally firm friends with the band in 1995, most recently hit out at the brothers in 2024 when he made a brutal remark after they announced their highly-anticipated UK reunion tour.
The duo will be reunited at this year’s BRIT Awards on Saturday with Noel being honoured with the Songwriter of the Year award and Robbie performing in tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.
Many music fans have disputed Noel’s award as he didn’t release any new songs in 2025, which Robbie has taunted him about in his new posters.
A billboard advertising Robbie’s new album reads: ‘A sing-along choruses to make question whether he ever needs to bother writing another song.’

The posters reference a review from The Daily Telegraph, with Robbie not wasting the opportunity to poke fun a Noel once again.
The Daily Mail has contacted both Robbie Williams’ and Noel Gallagher’s representatives.
In 2024, the Take That legend said on an uncredited podcast: ‘As for the shows? They’re gonna be incredible, off-the-scale special. Oasis getting back together is going to be a healing moment for our country.
‘Liam Gallagher reading his phone on the toilet would be more charismatic and intriguing than 99.9% of the world’s population at their most enigmatic.
‘All he has to do is stand there and sing for the audience to be guaranteed their money’s worth.’
The superstar then added: ‘Noel will be there too.’
Speaking on the Talent Takes Practice podcast, Robbie described their feud as ‘unbearable’ back in 2021.
He said: ‘Every time I watched TV programmes, there were people being hateful about me. That was just wrong and grotesque. It was unbearable. I just left the country.’

Robbie continued: ‘I remember every single syllable of every single thing they’ve ever said about me. Liam said that I should be hung, Noel said I was ‘the fat dancer from Take That’.
Neither brother seems to be a fan of Robbie after Liam also branded him a ‘fat f*****g idiot’ in 2013.
Noel previously told his critics to ‘meet me there and we’ll have it out’ as he addressed the controversy surrounding his BRIT Award.
The singer-songwriter is said to have ‘defined British music’ after Oasis took the UK by storm with their reunion tour, however, music fans have disputed the award as he didn’t release any new songs in 2025.
He said: ‘I haven’t written a song for two years. I’m not sure how I’ve got away with that one but I’ll take it.
‘To be honest I think they were just desperate to get someone from Oasis up there because it’s Manchester. Our kid said he’s not going.’
TalkSPORT, Host Andy Goldstein asked what he thinks about the criticism, with Noel adding: ‘I think the Brits is all based on record sales, and I’m not sure there was another single songwriter that sold… I mean, we sold a million records last year.’
He continued: ‘Didn’t even get off the couch and I’m not sure there’s a songwriter that can match that.
‘But you know, if anybody’s got a problem with it, meet me there. We’ll have it out on the red carpet.
‘If any of those wet wipes songwriting teams, all 11 of them, want to write a song between the lot of them, want to have it out on the red carpet, I’m there.’
The BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard will take place on Saturday, February 28, from Manchester’s Co-op Live, broadcasting on ITV and hosted by Jack Whitehall.
