The singer told Shortlist magazine the Manchester band didn't need to reform because “they've already left their mark”.

Flowers also said he had been “lucky” when meeting Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher in the past.

“They've made some good music so that's good enough for me,” Flowers replied when asked if he hoped the band would ever reform.

“I've met [Noel and Liam] and they've been kind to me. I'm one of the lucky ones.”

Flowers is currently promoting his debut solo album 'Flamingo', which topped the UK album chart earlier this month.
