Muse frontman Matt Bellamy joked that drummer Dominic Howard would be returning to real cigarettes, after Noel Gallagher mocked his electronic ones.

Gallagher was at the BRIT awards when he saw Howard smoking the electronic cigarette and mocked him, saying it was one of the most boring moments of the event.

Speaking to Time Out Dubai, Gallagher said, "I saw the drummer from Muse smoking an electronic cigarette. A cigarette with a battery in. I had to say to him: ‘Really? Really? Is that where you are at? Do me a favour mate, either have a proper one outside, or don’t have one.’

"It lit up green when he had a drag of it. Nonsense. He said that immortal line – ‘Oh you know how it is mate’. And I said ‘I’m sorry mate, I actually don’t.’"

Bellamy was asked about the quotes by a fan, and responded saying, "Dom took Noel's lyrics "I want to live I don't want to die", "maybe I just want to breath"and "you and I are gonna live forever" literally. He's switching to real cigarettes based on Noel's apparent U-turn."

Gallagher continued his rant in the magazine, saying, "It was an instantly forgettable night. There was nothing going on at the Brits, there was nothing going on at the aftershow parties. There seemed to be a lot of young people in hats, with iPhones. They’re either all involved in some massive video game that they’re all hooked up to, or they’re just texting each other saying ‘Where are you, what are you doing?’

"And they’ve all got hats. Where did the hat come from? We’re going back to some Dickensian nightmare. I don’t understand it. People with hats and Blackberrys under the age of 30 should be shot. Or stoned to death."
