Noel Gallagher thinks that Coldplay are going to have Chris Martin "hand-deliver" their next album.

The former Oasis player has taken a jab at the singer as he compared the group to U2, joking that Coldplay will visit each fan who buys their record and even offer to help out with house chores.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Mastertapes he said: "I firmly believe we'll all get a knock on the door at some point over the next two years and Chris will be stood there. And he'll say, 'Alright man, you know, here's a Coldplay album.' And you'll go, 'Thanks.'

"And there's a ladder and he'll say, 'Bass player's [Guy Berryman] just fixing the guttering, Johnny [Buckland's] round the back, he's doing the gardening and I think Will [Champion's] going to put the recycling out, so enjoy.' And then he'll come back and say, 'Oh, I forgot - here's a tenner.'"

Despite his light-hearted tone, the rocker's adamant he'll never give away his music "for free".

"Who knows what's going to happen. But for the record, no-one's getting anything out of me for free.

"I don't agree with music being given away for free because it costs a lot of money to make a record. Look, [U2] obviously don't need the money, good for them, but it's not something that I would ever consider."
