Known for his flare-ups against female pop stars, Noel Gallagher hits new targets - it's world-renowned Adele's turn to be on Gallagher's firing line. The ex-Oasis star, 56, ignites a fresh storm by trashing her illustrious discography and calling her stardom “offensive.”
Noel Gallagher has trained his sights on international icon Adele, leveling an unkind comparison against the singer-songwriter with late TV presenter and singer, Cilla Black. Not confined to Adele, pop-prince Lewis Capaldi didn't escape Gallagher's infamous banter launcher either during a recent podcast. The latter was under fire as he steps back for a mental health break, reported by The Mirror.
"Name one of Adele's hits you like?"prompted the podcast host. Gallagher's retort? "F* off, f*ing hell!" But his criticism took a sharper turn when he likened Adele's music to the late Cilla Black, adding, "It’s f***ing awful. I find it offensive."
Adel is a platinum-grade music icon, boasting record sales of over 120 million and four No1 albums globally. When it comes to record sales, Gallagher isn't a small-fry either. Oasis has an impressive 75 million global sales record, and Gallagher's current ensemble, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' latest tracks hit No2 in the UK Album Chart.
Gallagher kept on with his stringent critique of Adele, even hinting that the globally-acclaimed artist could turn his opinion around if she performed one of his tunes. "If I pull away from touring, I can see myself writing songs at home and mailing them to my publishers. I may consider having Adele sing that. Don’t ring [me] until she’s guided the vocal," Gallagher speculated.
Yet, Adele isn't the first female artist Gallagher has sent fiery darts towards. His snubs targeting the Geordie singer's band Little Mix in 2021 received a scathing comeback from Jade Thrilwall. Gerald's comments came on the heels of the girl group's record-breaking win at The Brit Awards that year.
Controversially, Gallagher suggested that Little Mix is "not in the same league as Oasis," indicating an issue in the music industry. TV series Never mind the Buzzcocks found Jade defending Little Mix from Gallagher's unasked censure. The 30-year-old recalled his criticism, saying, "Something about us being undeserving of the Brit Award because we're women, and don’t - well we do write music - but he thinks we don’t write music."
"Shame indeed," continued Jade, "Because you know, we are indeed the country's most successful girl group, but he’s not even the most successful performer in his family!"
