Noel Gallagher Disses Ed Sheeran: 'Thinking Out Loud' Singer Fires Right Back in Response to Wembley Stadium Slight

"I don't think I can live in a world where that's even possible," Gallagher said about Sheeran selling out the stadium. "When you hear that kind of polished pop and then there's a ginger guy with a f--king guitar it seems subversive, but it's f--king not."

Originally, Sheeran was scheduled to play one show this July, but two additional gigs were added due to popular demand.

"I can live in it, it's really enjoyable," the pop star fired back.

Gallagher's inital comments were followed by a long speech about the good old days.

"It's a strange time, and it seems like the whole thing is embedded for good now, for f--king forever. 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 s--t, and maybe it'll happen again, but I don't see it for the next decade," he added.

Gallagher is currently charting his return with Chasing Yesterday, an album due out in March under the Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds name. He has already released two singles, "In the Heat of the Moment" and "Ballad of the Mighty I" featuring Johnny Marr, both of which sound promising.
