Pharrell wants to work with Gallaghers

US music star Pharrell Williams says teaming up with former Oasis stars Noel and Liam Gallagher would be a dream project.

Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Pharrell Williams has revealed that reuniting the feuding Gallaghers for a collaboration would make him Happy.

The singer and producer - who was guest vocalist on Daft Punk's Get Lucky - said teaming up with former Oasis stars Noel and Liam Gallagher would be one of his dream projects.

The pair have not spoken since Noel stormed out of the group in 2009 following years of friction. Noel now has his own solo career while Liam continued to work with his Oasis bandmates under the name Beady Eye.

Williams - who has worked with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Jay Z and Robin Thicke - said he wanted to bring them together.

"Who wouldn't want to work with the Gallaghers? Yeah, both of them," he said.

Williams - in the running for an Oscar for his track Happy from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack - also longs to work with Sir Elton John who even inspired his own son Rocket's name with his 1970s hit Rocket Man.

"I really respect Elton John's music and I'd love to do something with him," he said.

"Contrary to popular belief, Rocket's middle name is not Man. But Elton John's Rocket Man song was a part of it and also Stevie Wonder's Rocket Love. But Elton would be really interesting.

"I would love to do a whole album with Stevie Wonder. That would be amazing. He doesn't need me, but it'd be amazing," Williams said.
