Goodbye my lover: Noel Gallagher can’t bear to live on the same island as James Blunt

DrownedinSound’s daily trawl through the pantomime press has turned up a story of no little relevance – apparently Oasis’ Noel Gallagher is selling up and moving out of his Ibiza holiday home to get away from mewling blandateer James Blunt.
Blunt has had a residence on the Balearic island since his mum bought him the £1.7m ‘pad’ in 2006. Gallagher has been living on the White Isle seven years longer, but he’s now “fed up of hearing James Blunt bang on about Ibiza like he owns the place”, the Sun quotes the ever-reliable anonymous source as saying.
“Noel has been going to Ibiza every summer for years. But… it’s taken the charm out of it for him so he’s put his villa up for sale. It’s close to Blunt’s place, and he [Gallagher] says he can’t stand the thought of Blunt writing crap tunes up the road.”
At least Gallagher can boast a bigger pool of money than Blunt, the home he bought for £2.5m from Mike Oldfield in 1999 now on the market for over double that at £5.5m.

seems infinantly better company then noel, spoil sport trying to be cool and with it
couldn't
agree more. isn't noel too old for playground sniping?
playground sniping makes me laugh
so 'no'.
He is a tedious, rich, spoilt
out-of-touch bore... And James Blunt is not much better
^^ I would of agreed with that
until recently, his top gear appearance in particular showed him in a much better light. He doesnt take himself seriously at all + he used to drive a tank! A TANK!
Yeah,
Blunt actually comes across as a fairly decent bloke. Which doesn't by any means completely excuse his music, but he'd probably get the drinks in.
James Blunt strikes me as an infinitely preferable neighbour
to that obnoxious, mono-browed, chip on both shoulders, professionally Northern, melody dodging cunt Gallagher.
James Blunt
As mentioned above came across as a nice bloke when he was on Top Gear at the end of last year.
i agree with this
James Blunt may be responsible for some of the worst, most heinous, horribly bland tunes in recent years
but he does seem to be able to laugh at himself, and seems an alright guy sometimes
Noel Gallagher on the other hand, has also been responsible for some of the worst, most heinous, horribly bland tunes in recent years
and he's a cock-end

They probably both would.
I reckon Noel makes a better cuppa, though.
