Noel Gallagher said he had given his daughter a list of people to insult at Ed Sheeran‘s gig.
When asked by NME if he would attend Ed Sheeran’s Wembley gig, to which Sheeran offered him tickets, Gallagher replied:
“No, no, they’re for my daughter. She’ll go, drink his champagne, and maybe play Top Trumps with James Blunt backstage. I’ve given her a list of people to insult while she’s there.”
The former Oasis member continued:
“No, I won’t go. I’ll be playing at a festival in Azerbaijan that night, for half the fee and twice the stress. No doubt, I’ll read about Sheeran’s gig in some newspaper and feel slightly less legendary than I did that morning.”
Gallagher discussed the current state of chart music, which he believes has declined in quality.
“Sometimes, when I say I’m not into pop music, I think, well, I am into pop music. We all are. We grew up on everything from Elvis to Sex Pistols, Nirvana, and The Smiths. That was all pop music.”
He added:
“For the first time in history, the charts are completely dominated by major label acts. They have teams of songwriters and follow major label strategies. It all sounds the same.”
