Noel Gallagher's past comments about Scotland and Lewis Capaldi have resurfaced as Oasis prepares for three shows at Murrayfield in Edinburgh on August 8, 9, and 12. The gigs are expected to draw over 67,000 fans each, but some Scots may recall Noel's controversial remarks.
In a past interview, Noel described Scotland as a 'third world country', despite his then-wife Sara McDonald being from Edinburgh. He also clashed with Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi in 2019, when he admitted on Radio X he was clueless about Capaldi and called him an 'idiot'. Capaldi responded with humour, celebrating the insult on Instagram and later wearing a T-shirt with Noel's face at Glastonbury.
The feud escalated when Noel mocked Capaldi's appearance, comparing him to Chewbacca. Capaldi embraced the jibe, changing his Twitter handle to 'Chewis Capaldi'. However, the pair have since reconciled, with Noel now calling Capaldi a 'good lad'.
Noel and his brother Liam have also set aside their long-standing rivalry for the Oasis Live 25 tour, which includes the upcoming Scottish dates.
