Jay-z Praise By Noel Gallagher of the Oasis
Noel Gallagher of the Oasis criticized the appearance of hip hop artist Jay-z on Glastonbury Festival initially. But he recoup his remark by saying “I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong,” as he told BBC.
Jay-Z’s controversial appearance at Glastonbury has been given two thumbs up – by the man who questioned hip-hop’s place at the English music festival. The rapper’s headlining act was blamed for initially slow ticket sales at the Glastonbury Festival.
But on Friday Gallagher, 41, was singing an altogether different tune. “I thought it was great. I love Jay-Z,” he told PEOPLE at the O2 Silver Clef Awards in London, where Oasis received the top honor. “The thing is, I was actually giving my opinion about ticket sales at Glastonbury. And it really wasn’t about hip-hop or anything like that.”
Perhaps Jay-Z’s homage to the Oasis guitarist helped: he opened his performance last Saturday by coming on stage with a guitar and playing a cover of the Oasis hit “Wonderwall,” which Gallagher wrote.
Of Jay-Z’s version Gallagher said, “I only caught the second half of his set. But everyone says it was great.”
