Ed Sheeran Fans Sending Noel Gallagher Death Threats


. (Radio.com) Aging rocker and master ranter Noel Gallagher has a knack for making headlines with controversial comments and his latest is no exception. While speaking to NME, the former Oasis guitarist and songwriter voiced his less than favorable opinion of GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter and Taylor Swift BFF Ed Sheeran.

Gallagher wasn't pleased that Sheeran was able to book three gigs at Wembley Stadium and said, "I don't think I can live in a world where that's even possible. When you hear that kind of polished pop and then there's a ginger guy with a f-ing guitar it seems subversive, but it's f-ing not."

Just as he did at the end of 2013, Gallagher went on to offer his synopsis of what's wrong with the current music scene. "It's a strange time, and it seems like the whole thing is embedded for good now, for f-ing forever," he said. "It's not all over, but it'll go back to the way it was in the early '80s where indie bands are the alternative thing, the lower level. In the early '80s everyone at indie labels, even major labels, were trying to push this music to the fore because everything else was s-, and maybe it'll happen again, but I don't see it for the next decade."

Well, Sheeran fans weren't happy with Gallagher's comments and called him out on Twitter, even going as far as threatening his life. Read more here.
