James Blunt lashes out at Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn after blasting Adele
Fresh from slagging off Adele, chart topping singer James Blunt has now turned his anger and condemnation on fellow singers Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn.
The 49-year-old Your Beautiful warbler stunned fans this week when he hit out at 35-year-old Adele to blast her for cancelling live performance dates at the last minute - particularly taking aim at the fact that she cancelled her Las Vegas residency dates when fans were on planes and flying in from all over the world to see her. Now James has turned his ire on Oasis star Noel, 56, and Blur frontman Damon, 55.
Taking aim at Noel, James says he was unimpressed when the Don’t Look Back In Anger singer lashed out at him in 2006 when he was planning to buy a house in Ibiza next to him - and Noel announced he would be selling his holiday home as he didn't want to stay next door to James knowing he would be making "terrible music". However, James claims to have had the last laugh as he claims property prices increased once Noel left the area.
Opening up to Kathy Burke on her Where There’s A Will There’s A Wake podcast, James said: “I do actually bump into Noel at various places and he only says these things behind your back. To your face he’s a coward. He said he couldn’t have me writing my s****y songs just down the road from him.”

James cast his mind back to an appearance on the long-running BBC music show, Later with Jools Holland, when the alleged incident took place. James said: “He’s a lovely chap I’m sure, but he didn’t want me.
"They get all the musicians to have the photo of the episode and everyone gets the photo and that photo is put up on the wall of the studio, the Jools Holland studio. And for some reason he didn’t want me in the photo. So I was kept in the dressing room while they took that photo.”

It was the whole time of that Britpop thing, before my time, people were so competitive about each other. Music is music, you can enjoy all different types of music.”
On Friday, James hit out at Adele for cancelling her Vegas shows last minute last year - with her residency then being pushed back by months. Reports at the time suggested the singer cancelled her shows as she had been unhappy with her staging - but James says she should have been more considerate to her fans.
He told Matt Everitt during a talk at the Emmanuel Centre in Westminster: "I think she should have turned up. People came across the world, paid good money, booked hotel rooms."
When Adele cancelled, fans lashed out - with one telling the MailOnline at the time: "I was furious that Adele waited so last minute to make this call. I recognise it's not a call any artist wants to make but she would've known yesterday that the show wouldn't be ready by tomorrow."
