Damon Albarn Says Adele Quotes Were Taken Out of Context

In a recent interview with TimeOut, Blur's Damon Albarn stated that a rumored feud with Adele is nonexistent. "It’s not even true," he told the blog.
Previously, after a collaboration for Adele's mega-album 25, Albarn was quoted by The Sun describing her tracks as "middle of the road."
In the Sun article, Albarn doubted that the tracks they had worked on together would make it onto the album, saying, "Will she use any of the stuff? I don’t think so. Let’s wait and see. The thing is, she’s very insecure. And she doesn’t need to be, she’s still so young.”
Adele addressed his comments in an interview with Rolling Stone, expressing her regrets for collaborating with Albarn and calling the experience a "don't meet your idol" moment.
For his part, Albarn is dismissing the comments as typical gossip mag fodder. "It’s amazing how people will run with stuff that has no credence whatsoever and turn it into something and then watch the reaction," he said.
