Don't believe everything you read in the paper. Especially if that paper is the Sunday Mirror and they're telling you that Oasis are going to be taking up residency at The O2 in the autumn. Because they aren't, right? Oasis will never play the O2. And I mean never. Well, that's what Noel says.
Asked by BBC News if his band were planning an O2 residency, Noel Gallagher said yesterday: "We'll never play The O2. We went there to see Led Zeppelin and, to be honest, the gig was fantastic, but it was the most soul-destroying venue I've ever been to". So, a pretty definitive answer to a simple question, I reckon.
Though that's not the only thing he wanted to get off his chest while BBC journalists were on the phone. Wading into the debate over Glastonbury's decision to book Jay-Z (which has, some say, played a role in the less positive response to the festival this year) Gallagher said: "Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw the odd curve ball in on a Sunday night you go 'Kylie Minogue?' I don't know about it. But I'm not having hip hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong".
Quite right. Hip hop at Glastonbury? They'll be having circus acts next.
