Inside Noel Gallagher's tense feud with Lewis Capaldi and 'third world' Scotland
Noel Gallagher is no stranger to causing controversy and that was certainly the case when he branded Scotland a 'third world country' and reignited his feud with Lewis Capaldi Noel Gallagher might be gearing up for the Oasis shows in Scotland, but he's previously hit out at one of the country's biggest stars. Liam and Noel are set to rock Murrayfield with three gigs on August 8, 9, and 12, each expected to draw mammoth crowds of over 67,000. The anticipation is palpable as thousands still hope to get their hands on a last-minute ticket, but some Scots may have their excitement dampened upon recalling Noel harsh past comments about Scotland. Despite his then-wife Sara McDonald being from Edinburgh, Noel once went so far as to label Scotland a "third world country" during an interview. Adding to the controversy, the singer has also had a spat with one of Scotland's most loved singers, Lewis Capaldi, who is often praised for his grounded personality, witty humour, and exceptional musical gift. The feud ignited when Noel admitted on Radio X in 2019 that he was clueless about the Scottish vocalist. At the time, Lewis's first album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, had soared to number one in the UK and Ireland, becoming the year's quickest selling album. Noel didn't mince words about the current state of music, declaring: "Music is f***ing w*** at the moment". He then took a swipe at the Glasgow-born Capaldi, asking: "Who's this Capaldi fella? Who the f***'s that idiot?" In typical Capaldi style, the Scottish singer had fans in stitches as he took to Instagram stories to mockingly celebrate Noel's disparaging remarks. While watching the interview, Capaldi exclaimed: "F***ing c'mon! F***ing peaked – slagged off by Noel Gallagher!" He continued with glee: "Number 1 single – who gives a f**k? Number 1 album – who gives a f**k? Noel Gallagher has just slagged me off. This is dreams coming true." Capaldi didn't hold back, cheekily wishing Gallagher a happy Father's Day while playing Oasis' 2002 anthem Stop Crying Your Heart Out. Noel quickly retorted with a tweet mocking Lewis' hit 'Someone You Loved', featuring a video of his then 11-year-old pretending to weep to the song. His tweet read: "@LewisCapaldi you big daftie. You might wanna try and find some joy in your tunes, you're destroying the 11yr old is in bits." Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time. This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show! Undeterred, Lewis rocked up at Glastonbury Festival donning a classic Gallagher-esque parka which he unzipped to reveal a tee emblazoned with the Oasis star's face encased in a heart. Capaldi escalated the banter by posing for a backstage photo with Noel's formerly estranged brother and Oasis bandmate, Liam Gallagher. Noel, clearly irked, mentioned Lewis' antics in a Variety interview and savagely mocked the singer's looks. The High Flying Birds frontman declared: "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. Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

"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 had supporters in stitches yet again when he promptly updated his Twitter handle to "Chewis Capaldi" and switched his profile image to a doctored photo showing his face superimposed onto the iconic Star Wars character's body. Nevertheless, the duo have since buried the hatchet and have actually crossed paths on several occasions. Noel has now described Lewis as a "good lad" following all his earlier digs at the singer. Noel and Liam have also set aside their rivalry and are presently touring across the UK as part of their Oasis Live 25 shows. viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans.

His final public appearance was at Glastonbury 2023, where he visibly struggled to finish his set and his fans famously sang the lyrics for him when he couldn't. Following the heartbreaking performance, the star confirmed that he would be taking some time away from the spotlight, even pulling out of Electric Picnic that same year. After nearly two years away from the spotlight, Lewis Capaldi is officially stepping back into the music world. Pic: Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock His return is not just a musical moment, but an emotional one, marking the end of a deeply personal chapter in the Scottish singer-songwriter's life. Now, to fully understand the weight of his comeback, we need to revisit why he stepped away in the first place. At the time, Capaldi stunned fans when he announced he would be cancelling upcoming tour dates, citing the toll that fame, relentless touring, and his struggles with Tourette's syndrome and anxiety had taken on his mental health. His final public appearance was at Glastonbury 2023, where he visibly struggled to finish his set and his fans famously sang the lyrics for him when he couldn't. Pic:Capaldi had always been honest about the pressure he felt to deliver, especially after the runaway success of his debut album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, alas his candor didn't make the weight any easier to carry. Taking to X at the time, Lewis extended his thanks to Glastonbury organisers as well as his audience 'for singing along when I needed it.' Writing that 'this probably won't come as a surprise', Lewis announced he would be taking a break from touring. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lewis Capaldi (@lewiscapaldi) 'I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I'd hoped 3 weeks away would sort me out,' he explained. 'But the truth is I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come.' The star acknowledged being 'fortunate' to take leave, and thanked his family and friends as well as the medical professionals who have helped him along the way. Following the heartbreaking performance, the star confirmed that he would be taking some time away from the spotlight, even pulling out of Electric Picnic that same year. Pic:'I'm so incredibly sorry to everyone who had planned to come to a show before the end of the year but I need to feel well to perform at the standard you all deserved,' he apologised. 'Playing for you every night is all I've every dreamed of so this has been the most difficult decision of my life. I'll be back as soon as I possible can.' Earlier that same month Lewis donated £50,000 (€58,000) to the ISPCC (Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children after a statement confirmed the singer would not be able to attend FM104's The Gig at the Olympia Theatre 'due to illness.' Now, the beloved star has shocked fans by returning with new music which reflects on this time of his life. Lewis dropped his new track, Survive, early on Friday morning, leaving his dedicated fans delighted. 'Most nights I fear that I'm not enough, I've had my share of Monday mornings when I can't get up,' he sings in the candid and vulnerable track. However, the track does have its lighter moments, proving Capaldi truly can weather any storm; 'I swear to God I'll survive, if it kills me to, I'm gonna' get up and try, if it's the last thing I'll do.' Delighted to have you back Lewis!

Lewis Capaldi's Star-Making Album Continues Its Winning Streak
Lewis Capaldi's debut album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent reaches 300 weeks on the U.K.'s ... More Official Albums chart, proving its enduring popularity years after release. LONDON, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 11: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Lewis Capaldi attends The BRIT Awards 2023 at The O2 Arena on February 11, 2023 in London, England. (Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage) Years after its release, Lewis Capaldi's debut album remains a favorite among fans in the U.K. This week, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent reaches a milestone few modern records manage, showing that even as time passes, listeners aren't ready to let go of the singer-songwriter's first full-length, which turned him into a global superstar. Capaldi's Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent has now spent 300 weeks on the Official Albums chart, the U.K.'s main ranking of the most-consumed full-lengths. This win is a first for the musician. The set climbs only one spot this frame, advancing from No. 98 to No. 97 as it extends its impressive run. While his debut set maintains a steady presence, Capaldi's sophomore effort, Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent, is still working its way toward similar longevity. The collection, released in 2023, has now spent 49 weeks on the Official Albums chart, as it has yet to reach a full year on the tally. That project is no longer present on the tally, while its predecessor continues to find space…even if only barely. Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent isn't just holding on, it's improving. In addition to its gains on the Official Albums chart, the title also moves up on the Official Albums Streaming ranking. It rises slightly from No. 82 to No. 80, as fans continue to press play on the record's biggest hits on platforms like Spotify. While Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent has now spent 300 weeks on the Official Albums chart, its track record is even more impressive on the streaming-focused list. On the Official Albums Streaming roster, the title has now racked up 304 weeks, passing its tenure on the main albums ranking – but only by a few frames. Capaldi earns one more entry on the U.K. charts this week, though not with anything new. His single 'Grace' returns to the Official Physical Singles Chart, re-entering at No. 75. The track, which originally served as the lead single from Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, has now spent an impressive 218 weeks on the list.
