Oasis star Liam Gallagher has praised Harry Styles for always having a "good time" but still insists the One Direction singer's music is "sh*t".

The Beady Eye frontman has been critical of the chart-topping boyband in the past, whilst his brother and former Oasis comrade Noel is no stranger to lashing out at the 'Kiss You' stars.

Gallagher says he has a certain amount of respect for Styles though as he always looks like he's having fun.

Speaking to The Sun's Fabulous magazine he said: “You want your rock ’n’ roll stars to have a good time. When I see Harry out and about having it I think, ‘Go on, lad’.

He added: “The music’s sh*t, but at least he’s living it. It’s equally important as writing a good song. If you write a good song and you’re just a stiff and a square then you can just f*** off in my book. At least Harry is having a good time, right?”

Gallagher recently spoke out about One Direction - also comprising Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne.

He said: "I'm not into their music. [But] fair play to them, man, they got lucky - like we all do, I guess - and they're just going for it. That's what it's all about, innit? It's all going to end at some point. And when it ends, you want to make sure you've ticked all the boxes."
