Oasis star Noel Gallagher has claimed his comments about Jay-Z performing at Glastonbury were taken the wrong way.
Gallagher courted controversy when he said of the decision to feature the hip-hop star in the line-up: "I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance. Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music ... I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong."
However, speaking to NME Gallagher said: "I wasn't saying I was better than Jay-Z as a person or rock was greater than hip-hop as a thing or whatever it is. I said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong, and now all this."
He added: "My single went back in the charts; Jay-Z's profile went through the roof. Everyone's a winner. He knows that I was misrepresented, as I guess he was, so let's move on."
Gallagher added that he watched Jay-Z sing Oasis' anthem 'Wonderwall' at the festival.
He said: "For my own part I can sit here and say I never dissed that guy. I never would. But there's no point in going on about it, because you end up sounding like Heather Mills: 'I said this! I meant that!' I'll have a beer with him one day and it'll all be fine."
Speaking to NME, Gallagher also said that he toyed with the idea of making Oasis' forthcoming world tour a free event.
He said: "They're free to get in, but you've got to pay 75 quid to get out. That'd be great at Wembley, wouldn't it? I didn't spend a year in a recording studio to go, 'Yeah, you can have it.'"
