Noel Gallagher Blasts Thom, Bono
Outspoken Oasis bandleader Noel Gallagher has blasted political musicians Thom Yorke and Bono, telling them to stick to playing their hits, and to stop preaching their political beliefs to the masses.
The Mancunian rocker is coming under the media spotlight this week, in the run-up to next week’s Brit Music Awards where his band will achieve the Lifetime Achievement Award for their contribution to the British music industry. And once again, he hasn’t disappointed with his latest rant.
Gallagher says: “Thom Yorke sat at a piano singing, ‘This is f**ked up,’ for half an hour. We all know that, Mr Yorke. Who wants to sing the news? No matter how much you sit their twiddling, going, ‘We’re all doomed,’ at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play CREEP. Get over it.”
On U2 frontman Bono, Gallagher says: “It’s the same with U2. Play ONE, shut the f**k up about Africa.”
