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.

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.
