While most of the world is gushing over Adele’s brand new album, Noel Gallagher is less than impressed.

The former Oasis star has said that he ‘doesn’t know what all the fuss is about’ when it comes to the singer and has slammed her latest musical efforts.

In an interview with Music Feeds, he said: “If someone wants to know what I think of Adele, I’ll f***ing tell them… I just don’t see what all the fuss is about.”

Not mincing his words, Gallagher added: “I don’t like her music. I think it’s music for f***ing grannies.”

Making it clear that he was simply giving his thoughts, not trying to cause controversy, he added:

“If I get asked a question on anything, I give a straight answer… Not because I have any sort of agenda or because I’m trying to whip up any kind of hysteria.”

Gallagher hasn’t held back with his opinion on current musicians in recent months, letting rip on One Direction last month.

Speaking to Esquire about the state of the music industry he said: "I’ll tell you what’s wrong. Fame’s wasted on these c**** today.

"Harry Styles has got nothing to say for himself - nothing. “You alright, mate?” “Uhhh.” That’s it. The gig will never die because you can’t download it. You can’t download spirit.”
