Noel Gallagher says Scotland is a 'third world country' in bitter feud with Lewis Capaldi
Oasis are set to play Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium for three nights next month but Scots fans may not be impressed to hear what Noel has said about Scotland in the past.
Oasis are now just three weeks away from playing Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium with Scottish fans counting down the days until they see the iconic Gallagher brothers reunite on stage in the Capital for the first time in over sixteen years. Liam and Noel will perform three nights at Murrayfield next month on August 8, 9 and 12 to crowds of over 67,000 per night.
Despite the excitement building up around their arrival with thousands still hoping to snag a last minute ticket, Scots Oasis fans may not be so thrilled to discover that Noel Gallagher previously brutally bashed Scotland in an interview. Despite his now ex-wife Sara McDonald being from Edinburgh, at the time of the interview, Noel went as far as to brand Scotland as a 'third world country'.
What's more, the singer also previously picked a fight with Scotland's beloved music icon, Lewis Capaldi who is considered a national treasure for his down to earth nature, hilarious sense of humour and incredible musical talents. Their dispute first started when Noel said during an interview on Radio X in 2019 that he didn't know who the Scots singer was.
At the time, Lewis' debut album, 'Divinely Unexpired to a Hellish Extent' had peaked at number one in the UK and Ireland and became the fastest selling album of the year.
The Oasis star said: "Music is f***ing w*** at the moment". He then insulted the Glasgow-born star as he said: "Who's this Capaldi fella? Who the f***'s that idiot?"
However, in true Capaldi fashion, the Scots singer left fans rolling about laughing as he took to his Instagram stories to celebrate Noel's comments in a sarcastic manner.
While watching the interview, he responded: "F***ing c'mon! F***ing peaked – slagged off by Noel Gallagher!
"Number 1 single – who gives a f***? Number 1 album – who gives a f***? Noel Gallagher has just slagged me off. This is dreams coming true."
Capaldi didn't stop there as he wished Gallagher a happy Father's Day while he filmed himself enjoying Oasis' 2002 hit 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'.
Noel was fast to hit back with a tweet making fun of Lewis' track, 'Someone You Loved' alongside a clip of his then 11-year-old song pretending to cry at the song.

He captioned it: "@LewisCapaldi you big daftie. You might wanna try and find some joy in your tunes, you're destroying the 11yr old is in bits."
In response, Lewis took to the stage at Glastonbury Festival that same month, wearing a typical Gallagher style parka jacket which he unzipped to reveal a top with the Oasis guitarist's face inside a love heart.
He then took things a step further by getting a backstage snap beside Noel's then-estranged brother and former Oasis bandmate, Liam Gallagher.
Noel was left furious and referenced Lewis' stunt in an interview with Variety. He then brutally poked fun at the singer's appearance.
The High Flying Birds frontman said: "F****** Chewbacca should enjoy his 15 minutes. The greatest day of his life that I slagged him off or called him an idiot.
"It's the greatest day of his f****** life so far. He's just thinking 'wow'.
"Well, I know you're Scottish and all that but f****** hell. It is like a third world country but for f***'s sake, man, you must have had a better day than this. Surely."
Lewis was quick to leave fans in fits of laughter once more as he then changed his Twitter name to "Chewis Capaldi" and made his profile picture an image of his face edited onto the Star Wars character's head.
Despite all of that, the pair have now put their feud to bed and have even met a few times since. Noel has since branded Lewis as a "good lad" after all of his previous jibes at him.
Noel and Liam have also put their differences beside them and are currently performing around the UK on their Oasis Live 25 tour.
