Noel Gallagher has turned his withering wit on the world's favourite redhead, saying "I can't live in a world where Ed Sheeran is headlining Wembley." Has our Noel got a new album coming out or something?
Ed, who plays a rather smaller show in Whelan's of Dublin on January 24, is set to play three gigs at London's Wembley Stadium in July and Noel is none too pleased about it.
"I don’t think I can live in a world where that’s even possible," he told NME. "When you hear that kind of polished pop and then there’s a ginger guy with a f***ing guitar it seems subversive, but it’s f***ing not."
Gallagher also had a go at Bastille and decried the current state of the music industry in the NME interview.
"It’s a strange time, and it seems like the whole thing is embedded for good now, for f***ing forever," he said. "It’s not all over, but it’ll go back to the way it was in the early ‘80s where indie bands are the alternative thing, the lower level.
"In the early ‘80s everyone at indie labels, even major labels, were trying to push this music to the fore because everything else was shit, and maybe it’ll happen again, but I don’t see it for the next decade."
Gallagher releases Chasing Yesterday, his second album with High Flying Birds on March 2, and plays Irish dates around the album release.
