Oasis - Oasis Excited About Tour

Outspoken OASIS guitarist NOEL GALLAGHER is delighted tickets for the band's summer (05) tour of the UK, America and Canada were snapped up in minutes - but he's worried it's all too good to be true.

The SOME MIGHT SAY star is particularly pleased about the response in the States because the band make a bigger profit on the shows they play there, but he can't guarantee the British weather will follow them across the Atlantic - a factor that's sparked concern in him.

The 37-year-old says, "Well, they sold out and there's gonna be some really cool support bands... and lets hope the f**king weather stays fine.

"There's been lots of people in our office going, 'Oh, isn't it amazing?' But you know these things always are a recipe for a f**king disaster.

"I'll enjoy it in the dressing room after we've raised the roof. But it is good to flog that many tickets in America, because apparently they're more expensive."
