Noel Gallagher has responded to musicians putting an 80s twist on one of his most iconic Oasis anthems.
A band by the name of DECO shared a video which sees them treat Don't Look Back In Anger as if it "came out in the 80s" by blending it with one of Hall & Oates' biggest hits Out Of Touch.
They captioned their post: "Noel Gallagher is going to be livid".
