OASIS have hired Justin Bieber’s longtime bodyguard Ian Norrington for their reunion tour, along with Madonna’s chef Darren Staats.
The East London hardman looked after the American pop star during the height of his career but he has now joined Noel and Liam Gallagher on their global 41-date sold out run of shows.

A source said: “Ian is one of the best in the security business and looked after Justin for years.
“Oasis know the tour is going to be absolutely frenzied so there is no one better to look after them than Ian.
“At the height of his fame, Justin’s fans were wild and the crowds around him were huge.
“Ian is an old hand and is the perfect fit.”
As well as bringing Ian on board, Noel 58, and Liam, 52, have called upon the services of Madonna’s former chef Darren.
An insider added: “Darren knows exactly what the band want on tour – it’s got to be healthy and nutritious – as well giving them plenty of energy to get through the gigs.
“Previously he’s worked for Madonna and Tori Amos.
“There is a focus on clean foods, as well as rustling up some of their favourite grub as a treat.”
Noel and Liam arrived in Cardiff earlier this week ahead of tonight’s first show.
Earlier those close to Noel and Liam said the pair were “as good as gold,” adding that the set list was “monumental.”
A source added: “Both of the brothers are ready and raring to go.
“They have described the set list as monumental and think the band have never sounded better.
