Noel Gallagher says Adele’s music is “for fucking grannies”

Noel Gallagher has opinons. Just like everyone else has opinions. But when Noel Gallagher has an opinion, he doesn’t tend to hide it, and this is a quality he proudly boasts about in a new interview with MusicFeeds.

“If I get asked a question on anything, I give a straight answer,” he says, before promptly giving an opinion on Adele without actually being asked. “If someone wants to know what I think of Adele, I’ll fucking tell them. Not because I have any sort of agenda or because I’m trying to whip up any kind of hysteria. I just don’t see what all the fuss is about. I don’t like her music. I think it’s music for fucking grannies.”

Blimey. That’s a worryingly ambiguous quote, especially in written form. Hopefully he doesn’t need to clarify.

“It is interesting that no-one ever talks about my love of U2 and Coldplay, but there you go,” he adds.

“The way I was brought up, you’re obliged to give an honest answer if someone asks you an honest question. If you trot out the same bullshit all the time, then you’re one of them. And I’m not one of them. I’m one of us.”
