Noel Gallagher ‘To Be Paid Thousands’ For John Lewis Christmas Advert

It’s tradition for the annual John Lewis Christmas advert to bring a smile to the Nation’s face every year, but in 2015 Noel Gallagher will be smiling bigger than anybody else as the ad is apparently going to earn him thousands.

That’s a pretty nifty Christmas bonus, isn’t it?

The traditionally tear-jerking advert isn’t set to debut until tomorrow morning, but it has already been confirmed that it features Oasis track ‘Half The World Away’, which was written by Noel.

The song has been covered by unknown Norwegian singer, Aurora, but The Sun report that Noel will still rake in thousands of pounds in royalties for the store using the song - which you might recognise as the theme tune for The Royle Family.

Stars such as Lily Allen and Tom Odell have previously recorded songs for the advert, and a source told The Sun that John Lewis opted to use Aurora instead of an established artist because her voice is so “quirky”.

They explained: “There have been lots of options and the process has been kept top secret. Even though Aurora is a complete unknown, they felt her quirky voice is perfect for the song.

“There were initially some discussions about the song being a cover of Steve Winwood’s Higher Love, but the Oasis track won out.”

So far we have only seen an Adele-esque teaser of the ad during Sunday night’s X Factor, which simply displayed the hashtag #OnTheMoon in John Lewis’ famous font.

Needless to say, we can’t wait for the final product to truly kick off the festive season tomorrow morning.

Noel Gallagher Tears Into Adele, 1D, Ellie Goulding And Arctic Monkeys

"I've got a cat that's more rock'n'roll than all of them put together. Pigeons? Rips their f**king heads off."

Oh dear. Self-proclaimed last of the great rock and rollers Noel Gallagher has torn into One Direction, Adele, Arctic Monkeys and, well pretty much everyone.

The former Oasis star gave a typically outspoken interview to Esquire, where he called modern popstars (except Kanye West) "c**ts" who don't deserve fame.

"Fame's wasted on these c**ts today. Bar Kanye. You watch him on the MTV Awards and you think, 'You can f**king stay, you're alright,'" he said.

"Does anybody give a f**k about what any of these current pop stars are up to? Who gives a shit what f**king One Direction do? Cocksuckers, all of them in rehab by the time they're 30.

"Who gives a shit what Ellie Goulding is up to? Really? Adele, what? Blows my f**king mind. It blows my f**king mind. Nobody cares! "

It wasn't just the popstars who found themselves in Noel's bad books though, as the guitarist also bemoaned rockstars, or rather the "spotty f**king herberts with guitars".

So if the likes of Royal Blood and Arctic Monkeys aren't cutting it (neither of whom we recall wearing eyeliner by the by) who would Noel like to see come to the forefront?

"F**king utter gobshites just being f**king headcases ." We're saying nothing.

Noel Gallagher Would Be Interested In Writing The Theme To A James Bond Film

Noel Gallagher has said he would be interested in writing the theme to a Bond film, but he does not expect to get the job as he is not well known enough in America.

Gallagher made his big screen ambition known in a new interview with German publication N-TV, telling Ingo Scheel that he would write a song for the long running 007 series "in a heartbeat".

"I would do it if I was asked. I would do it in a heartbeat," he said. "And I could do it and it would be great, but I'm not a star and for that you have to be a big star. You have to be someone in America."

Sam Smith is currently the favourite to follow Adele's Skyfall theme in the next Bond film. Ed Sheeran, Lorde and Lana Del Rey have also been mooted for the role. Spectre is set for release on November 7.

Gallagher also touched on the subject of being branded "too old for radio" in the same way Madonna has found herself in recent weeks. The High Flying Birds man confesses he will eventually suffer the same fate.

"This is gonna happen to me, too, they're not going to play my songs either. But that's cool, cause when my records come out they go to the top of the charts. Radio tries to tell you that you don't exist and yet the people are putting you to the top of the charts and therefore you do."

Gallagher recently concluded his UK arena tour, making a triumphant return to Manchester along the way. He was joined onstage at Manchester Arena by Johnny Marr and the pair performed 'Ballad Of The Mighty I' together during the encore.

Over the weekend, Gallagher posted a photo of himself holding a backstage pass to one of his brother Noel's concerts. Liam Gallagher posted the image to his Twitter account, followed by the caption: "Keeping it in the family...LG x"

Recently, Noel Gallagher said his younger sibling Liam should make a solo album and "put his balls on the line".

Ed Sheeran And Noel Gallagher Have Kissed And Made Up

Ed Sheeran and Noel Gallagher have had the shortest feud ever.

According to Ed, the pair have already kissed and made up after their fallout last week.

The Oasis rocker, 47, said of the flame-haired singer: “I can’t live in a world where Ed Sheeran sells out Wembley stadium.”

But it’s all water under the bridge for Ed, who texted him as soon as he saw the interview in NME.

The Thinking Out Loud superstar, 23, said: “I read what he said, I texted him because I have his number and asked him if he’d like some tickets.

“He wrote back, ‘You cheeky so and so. My daughter would love some.’”

Ed added: “He’s always going to be the guy who’s outspoken. I wasn’t offended. I found it quite cool to be in his interview.”

But despite being pals with Hollywood A-listers like Jennifer Aniston, 45, and Taylor Swift, 25, Ed isn’t about to up sticks and move across the pond.

That’s because he reckons the Press here keep him grounded.

He told Radio 2: “I get a lot of stick from Press and people, but it’s good to get stick. That’s why Americans go off the rails. Ego wise you are risen and risen and risen. Your ego grows.

“If you speak to anyone from Adele to Chris Martin, they would say they are grounded cos they get a hiding from press.”

Hurts’ Adam Anderson Tells Noel Gallagher And Jake Bugg To Leave One Direction Alone!

Adam Anderson has spoken out in defence of One Direction…surprisingly.

The Hurts star felt compelled to stick up for the X Factor singers, after they came under fire from all sides this month, following their win of the Global Success gong at the Brit Awards.

Jake Bugg branded the band ‘terrible’, Paloma Faith said they do not deserve to be compared to The Beatles, Matthew Fox hates the fact that his daughter is a 1D fan and Noel Gallagher is proud that he and Damon Albarn ignored the boys at the awards ceremony.

Anderson was sitting next to the fab fivesome at The Brits and he told Gigwise that he thinks people need to give them an easier time. He explained:

“I think they seem like decent lads and they’re having fun. If you were 19 and in their position then you would have fun.

“I think they should be left alone really. It’s good for the equilibrium of pop to have boybands.”

Adam thinks it’s a good thing for the UK music industry to have local artists selling well around the globe and after all, One Direction boast the third and fourth best selling albums in the world in 2012.

Anderson added: “At the end of the day they [One Direction] are a big export for music in this country. If One Direction and Adele raise the profile for British acts then fair enough.”

He thinks perhaps Brits organisers could have planned their ceremony better and added some different styled acts to the lineup. He thinks had they done that the event wouldn’t have been branded ‘boring.’

“I think there was an absence of a certain type of band which was the problem, but that’s just timing.

“It is what it is. It was still a good laugh and a good party afterwards. You make your own fun sometimes.”

Tom Odell Slams Liam Gallagher

It’s Odell, not Adele. The names of the 2008 Critics’ Choice Brit Award winner and this year’s recipient aren’t spelled the same, but the 22 year-old from Chichester doesn’t mind the comparison.

‘I wouldn’t mind being the male Adele,’ Tom Odell says, opening a beer. ‘She came along and people were like, “Damn, we haven’t heard anyone this real for years.”’

We’re on a bar-room sofa, talking about the award he’ll pick up on Wednesday, the only Brit that’s announced in advance. Odell won it on the strength of six or seven plangent, soaring piano songs. Some are calling him a one-man Coldplay.

The thing is, no man has ever won a Critics’ Choice Award: the previous five went to Emeli Sandé, Jessie J, Ellie Goulding, Florence Welch and Adele.

‘Women have ruled the world for the past five years,’ Odell says. ‘The dominant male is history. Could you see a male Lady Gaga? The closest we’ve got is Justin Bieber, who’d be locked up if he tried the stuff Gaga gets away with. Women are the only rock stars now. Adele is brutally honest. I want to be like her.’

Brutally honest is one way of describing the middle-finger gesture Adele gave while receiving her last Brit – but everyone loves an outspoken star, I say. She’s taken over from Liam Gallagher.

‘But Liam Gallagher was full of ****.’ Odell says. He winces.

‘You won’t print that, will you? I can’t make enemies like that just yet.’ There’s a pregnant pause as I weigh up the pros and cons.

‘The point is, Adele is not full of ****,’ Odell continues. ‘I don’t think there’s much room for the drunken, misogynistic male in music any more.

'Although I think we’re opening a can of worms here. I said rock ’n’ roll was dead the other day and people got very angry…’

Rock ’n’ roll is dead, of course. Its age is past, just like the jazz age and the music hall age before that.

If you want to reach kids enduring 24-hour peer-group surveillance, it’s no longer enough to pick up a guitar and look cool. You need to go uncool. You need to go piano.

Adele's '21' Overtakes Oasis To Become The Fourth Biggest-Selling Album Of All Time In The UK

Adele's '21' has become the fourth biggest-selling album of all time in the UK.

According to data from the Official Charts Company, the soul singer's second LP has overtaken Oasis's 1995 record '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?'. The album, which was produced by Paul Epworth, has now shifted 4,562,000 copies, meaning it just edges ahead of the Britpop-era LP from the Gallagher brothers, which has sales figures of 4,555,000.

Queen's 'Greatest Hits' collection remains the UK's biggest-selling album, having sold a whopping 5,866,000 copies, with The Beatles' 1967 record 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' in second place with 5,059,000. In third, meanwhile, is ABBA's greatest hits compilation 'Gold', which has sold 5,046,000.

Oasis And Adele Mash-Up - 'Some Wonderwall Like You'

Below is a mash-up of Oasis And Adele called 'Some Wonderwall Like You' by Daft Beatles.
 

Oasis' (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? Is One Of Britain's Biggest Selling CD's Ever

ABBA, Oasis and more recently Adele have the biggest selling albums on the CD format in British history, according to new figures issued by the Official Charts Company.

ABBA’s greatest hits collection ‘Gold‘ has amassed 4 million sales on CD, enough for a relatively comfortable lead over Adele, who is in second place thanks to her record ‘21‘, which has amassed 3.5 million sales on the format since its release early last year.

One further place back is Oasis’ landmark second LP ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?‘ which, despite being released in 1995 when sales on vinyl and cassette were still in their prime, has enjoyed 3.4 million CD sales.

Meanwhile, Coldplay and Robbie Williams have the distinction of being the two artists to have more than one album in the Top 30, with the former’s first three releases all making the rundown, and the latter’s ‘I’ve Been Expecting You‘, ‘Sing When You’re Winning‘ and ‘Greatest Hits‘ placing at #25, #26 and #27 respectively.

Oasis, The Beatles, The Sex Pistols And More On List For Olympics' Opening Ceremony

The Sex Pistols’ song appears on a leaked list of music proposed for the ceremony on July 27, alongside some more notable classics.

The song includes the lines: “God save the Queen, the fascist regime...God save the Queen, she ain’t no human being” and ends: “No future, no future, no future for you.”
Use of the track, which was banned by the BBC when it was released in 1977, reflects an eclectic and controversial style to be adopted by Danny Boyle, the creative director, in contrast with that of the Golden Jubilee concert earlier this month.

The list also includes Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s Relax, which was similarly banned by the BBC when it was released in 1984 on the grounds of its explicit lyrics.

Other music on the list of 86 tracks is more traditional, including patriotic favourites such as Land Of Hope And Glory, Jerusalem and the Dambusters March.

Tracks by the elder statesmen of British pop music are included, such as The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and David Bowie.

And there are classics such as London Calling by The Clash, Going Underground by The Jam, My Generation by The Who and Rudy by The Specials.

They come alongside more recent tunes such as the Sugababes, Push the Button, Amy Winehouse’s version of Valerie and Adele’s Rolling in the Deep.

Rock acts such as Radiohead, Coldplay, Muse, Oasis and Blur are on the list alongside rappers such as Rizzle Kicks, Tinie Tempa and Dizzee Rascal.

Classic TV and radio theme tunes include Eastenders, Coronation Street, the Archers and the BBC news and film theme tunes such as Chariots of Fire and the James Bond Theme.

Among the fun tunes listed are My Boy Lollipop and Tiger Feet, but there is no room for performers at the Diamond Jubilee Concert including Cliff Richard, Elton John, and Tom Jones.

The music will be mixed together by Underworld – DJs Karl Hyde and Rick Smith – at Abbey Road Studios and the pair have included their own dance music classic Born Slippy, which featured in Boyle’s film Trainspotting, as well as the Prodigy’s Firestarter.

Mr Boyle, 55, has already revealed that the spectacular will feature a Glastonbury-style “mosh pit” but an Olympics spokesman said: “We want the ceremony to be a fantastic surprise for the watching world, and we want the British public to be proud of it.

“There is endless speculation about the content – much of which is simply guesswork, as we are keeping the show under wraps.”

Adele Equals Oasis And Queen's Album Chart Record

Adele has equalled the album chart records of Oasis and Queen.

According to The Official Charts Company, 21 is now in its 20th non-consecutive week at number one since its release twelve months ago.

Adele has now spent a career total of 21 weeks at number one, with her debut album 19 spending one week at the top.

This now puts her on a par with Oasis and Queen in the number of weeks spent at the top of the album chart.

But where Adele has achieved this with her first two albums, Oasis took eight albums to notch up 21 weeks at the top and Queen nine albums to reach the same feat.

And 21 is the longest running number one album for a solo artist in UK chart history and sixth longest running overall, with only Simon & Garfunkel and The Beatles surpassing the record.
