Noel Gallagher has claimed that Adele’s songs are “shit” and compared the singer to Cilla Black.The High Flying Birds and former Oasis musician took aim at the multi-Grammy-winning vocalist in a new interview and said that regarding her discography, he finds the “whole thing offensive”.The comments arose on a recent appearance on a podcast hosted by Matt Morgan when Gallagher was asked if he was a fan of Adele’s catalogue of chart-topping hits.“Fuck off, fucking hell.

Name one?” he responded (via The Mirror). “They’re fucking shit. It’s fucking awful. It’s fucking Cilla Black.
