In what could seem like a case of green envy after Adele trampled on all previously set record sales including Oasis's sales record for Be Here Now, Noel Gallagher has labelled the 'Hello' singer as a "sea of cheese".

The outspoken Manchester singer, who released the chart topping Chasing Yesterday earlier this year, said of his musical rival, "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. I don't like her music. I think it's music for f**king grannies..."

Noel Gallagher is, it must be added, a fan of some bands. Two bands that have escaped Noel's venomous lambasting are Coldplay and U2 with the singer having come clean that he is a fan of both.
