Noel Gallagher has given his thoughts on the size of Rihanna's entourage.

The Mancunian told GQ that he came across the singer's crew when they both appeared at the same Norwegian festival.

The Oasis man - who picked up the Icon gong at last night's (September 3) GQ Men of the Year Awards - said that Rihanna brought with her about one hundred people, with fashion designers queuing up to give her gifts. Gallagher said:

"I don't do rock star stuff. I don't wear sunglasses all the time - I tend to wear them when it's sunny. I don't have an entourage, and when I do it's pathetic. Never more than two people. I was at a festival in Norway and Rihanna had just arrived with 100 people. F**king small army. And I had to go into this room, which was all just racks of clothing and stuff that designers and punters had brought to give to Rihanna. 

The musician added: "And they all had these cards in front of them, saying, 'Dear Rihanna, we are such huge fans, please accept this $90,000 handbag from whoever and whoever'."
