Noel Gallagher says Ed Sheeran is a “good lad” – despite disliking his music.
The former Oasis guitarist previously included the flame-haired pop star in his list of “s*** best-selling stars”, and while he still isn’t a fan of the ‘Shivers’ hitmaker’s hits, the 54-year-old rocker says Ed is a true gentleman.
Speaking about his phone call with the ‘Perfect’ hitmaker on his pal Matt Morgan’s podcast, he recalled: “I work for The Teenage Cancer Trust and I get to call up the bands and say, ‘Do you want to do it this year?’
“To cut a long story short, I spoke to Ed Sheeran and he said, ‘I can’t do it because I’m going to Australia … but I’ll do it next year.’
“I was like, ‘Whatever.’
“Anyway, he actually called me back a year later and said, ‘Right, this gig, let’s do it.’
“He’s a good lad, but his music … nah.”
Ed ended up making his debut at the TCT show in 2014, and the ‘Wonderwall’ rocker admitted he was shocked how the ‘Shape of You’ star can create a full band sound from his single guitar and loop pedal.
He said: “He came on stage on his own with that pedal, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, I was like, ‘What the f***?!’
“A full tune was coming out of this little fella with his guitar, it was like f***ing hell.”
Noel tips his hat off to Ed, 30, for making millions with minimal overhead costs for his tours.
He added: “His overheads are nothing, he’s got an acoustic guitar and a microphone stand, a few checked shirts and a f***ing bracelet.
“I was talking to his tour manager, this was when he was just about to become the biggest star in ginger-dom, and he was like, ‘It’s a bit boring on tour, it’s just me and him.
“It’s just little Ed Sheeran on a tour bus, ‘All right mate, might get an early night tonight, bye.'”
