Noel Gallagher and James Blunt feud revived as Oasis star branded 'sad human'
Singer-songwriter James Blunt has criticised Noel Gallagher. He described the fellow musician as a "sad human being" in a segment on a podcast that has attracted attention this month amid the ongoing Oasis reunion tour.
James, 51, is said to have moved into the same neighbourhood as Noel, 58, in Ibiza almost two decades ago. It's been claimed that Noel, however, decided to sell his property at the time to avoid having to live close to James.
You're Beautiful singer James has spoken about tension with Noel over the years, including on the High Performance podcast. The podcast shared a clip from the episode, with fans on Instagram over the weekend.
In the clip, James is heard sharing his thoughts on the High Flying Birds member. He said on the podcast: "Noel Gallagher's never said anything unkind to my face. He just always does it to your back when he's trying to flog music."
James also said in the video: "[Noel was] saying he can't live in Ibiza because I live down the road - well, what a sad human being he is because it's a big enough island. You don't have to ... I'm not asking you to come and see me."
He continued: "Weirdly house prices went through the roof the moment he left, actually, and I don't know whether the house prices went up because he'd left or because I'd arrived. But y'know there's gotta be some connection."
Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now!
A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time.
This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show!
Alongside the clip, the High Performance podcast teased in the caption that Noel isn't a "fan" of James. It added in the post on Saturday: "Our interview with [James] is available to watch and listen to now on all podcast platforms!"
The post comes amid Noel touring with his brother Liam Gallagher at the moment. The Oasis Live '25 tour has already been to Cardiff and Manchester, with it now heading to London for shows at Wembley Stadium in the next week.
It has previously been reported that Noel criticised James in 2006 when he was planning to buy a property next to him in Ibiza. It's been reported that Noel announced that he would be selling his holiday home as he didn't want to be living close to James who would be making "terrible music".
James has spoken about Noel on several occasions in recent years. As previously reported, it included during an appearance on the Where There's A Will There's A Wake podcast, with him having been a guest on the podcast in 2023.
He's quoted as having 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."
viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.

The £62.5million striker was seen in hospital scrubs in one image. He wrote: 'Hello world I'm Liz. And we are four now. 'I am very blessed to have you. Thanks God for everything.' Among those to offer their best wishes to the family were his new team-mates Bruno Fernandes and Joshua Zirkzee and ex-United defender Rio Ferdinand.

A source said: 'Gabriela knew how important it was for Matheus to be able to go on the pre-season tour to get to know his team-mates before the start of the season.

Nicola Peltz shares yet another sultry snap as she puffs on a cigarette and poses in a skimpy purple crop top - after sharing naked bath picture
Nicola Peltz shared yet another sultry snap as she puffed on a cigarette and posed in a skimpy purple crop top on Wednesday. The actress, 30, took to Instagram to share a gallery of snaps from her trip to St Tropez where she indulged in a smoke. It comes after on Tuesday she raised eyebrows as she shared another snap completely naked as she lounged around in the bath. As she held the cigarette she flaunted her toned abs in the crop top which featured fur detailing, while fixing the camera with a sultry stare. Another snap in her slew of images saw her cosying up to husband Brooklyn Beckham, 26, in the same outfit which featured a sheer skirt that flashed her underwear. She also posed various other loved-up snaps with the aspiring chef who is currently locked in a family feud with his parents David and Victoria. It comes after on Tuesday she set pulses racing with a jaw-dropping naked snap, after enjoying a swanky lunch with her pal Elton John. She paid tribute to the music legend by using his collaboration with Dua Lipa, Cold Heart, as the song for his post. Nicola's post showed her seductively posing in a bath, along a gallery of snaps with her husband Brooklyn, who was quick in the comments that he took the snap. It came hours after sources revealed that Elton invited Brooklyn and Nicola for lunch at a swanky Cannes eatery in a desperate attempt to calm the family's feud. The legendary musician, who has been friends with David, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51, for over 30 years, treated Brooklyn and his wife Nicola at fancy La Guerite beach club in the South of France. The Beckham family have been at the centre of a feud that has pitted Brooklyn and his wife Nicola against the rest of the family. According to The Sun, Sir Elton 'briefly' spoke about the family's feud in the hope Brooklyn would patch things up with his parents. A source said: 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy. 'There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously. 'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short - to patch things up.' The source added Elton is 'adamant he doesn't want to stick his nose in' the feud, he just simply 'wants peace'. MailOnline contacted the Beckham's and Elton's representatives for comment. Nicola couldn't wipe the smile off her face during the lunch as she sipped on Aperol Spritz at the fancy beach club. Sir Elton is also said to have generously picked up the entire bill, after dining on the restaurant's signature lobster linguine which comes in at an eye-watering £190. David affectionately calls the musician 'Uncle Elton' after becoming friends in his football heyday. Sir Elton was due to perform at the Beckhams wedding in 1999 before suffering a heart attack that prevented him from playing. He later sang at one of the children's christenings. Meanwhile Victoria once disclosed that it was Elton who inspired her to say goodbye to the Spice Girls, penning an emotional letter to her older self where she confessed that watching her friend perform made her realise that her true calling lay beyond singing. It comes after Nicola doubled down on the family feud as she declared Brooklyn 'her everything' on Instagram last week during their luxury St Tropez trip. Nicola took to her Instagram Stories with snaps of the pair embracing during their sun-soaked getaway on board her billionaire father's yacht in St Tropez. The couple only had eyes for each other as she wrapped her arms around his neck while he pulled her in close. She wore a bikini top and skimpy white shorts while her husband shielded his eyes behind shades and a baseball cap and cheekily squeezed her bottom. Nicola captioned the post: 'My everything @BrooklynBeckhamPeltz' with Brooklyn later resharing it with his followers. Last week, it was revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers Cruz, 20, and Romeo, 22, in the latest family drama. However, Brooklyn's friends told MailOnline on Friday that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform. This would make sense given that Brooklyn and Nicola are still following Victoria, 51 and David, 50. Cruz and Romeo were still following Brooklyn and Nicola earlier this month but appeared to take action after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo without them in it – which Nicola reposted. It comes hours after sources revealed that Elton John invited Brooklyn (pictured with the singer) and Nicola for lunch at a swanky Cannes eatery in a desperate attempt to calm the family's feud There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp. Brooklyn's birthday tribute to Harper marked his first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26, despite remaining silent and shunning his father's 50th birthday earlier that same month. Sources close to the family have told MailOnline of their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have also distanced themselves from Harper after they failed to visit her when they flew into London in May to film an advert for French-Italian clothing brand Moncler just over a mile from the family home in Holland Park. David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him.
