Oasis guitarist/singer Noel Gallagher was amazed when he heard the temporary cure for fellow British rocker Tom Meighan's attention deficit disorder (ADD) - a visit to toy store Toys 'R' Us.

Gallagher toured the United States with the Kasabian rocker and his bandmates earlier this year (05) and was taken aback by Meighan's behaviour when he would start to merge his sentences into one long monologue.

He says, "He is mental. And when he gets too mad, they have to take him to a toy shop to calm him down... I don't know whether I'm supposed to say that. He can hold 20 conversations at the same time.

"He was in our dressing room one afternoon, and he's drinking a pint of vodka and Red Bull, and this is before the soundcheck, and in literally one sentence he's going, 'Have you got any f**king Red Bull? Look at that lighter! F**king hell, four for a pound! D'you smoke Marlboro Lights? Birds' fags!'

"And apparently whenever he gets like that and he's too mad, they have to take him to Toys 'R' Us. The last time I actually laid eyes on him, he was in our hotel, he was in LIAM's (GALLAGHER) room, but management were s**tting themselves.

"Somebody turned up, put him in a cab to take him to Toys 'R' Us in Times Square, calm him down, because of all the flashing lights and he plays with the toys and then he's alright. That's f**king genius, man!"
