Usher Slams Noel Gallagher Over Jay-Z Glastonbury Comments

US R&B star Usher has attacked Noel Gallagher over comments the Oasis guitarist made about Jay-Z headlining this years Glastonbury Festival.

Last month, Gallagher said it was “wrong” for a hip-hop artist to top the bill, adding: “I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance.”

Usher said that he was “shocked” by Gallagher’s comments and described Jay-Z as “an incredible artist and headliner”.

“I saw him perform at the Hollywood Bowl in LA, and you’re not getting better than that,” he told the Sun.

Usher’s response comes just days after organiser Michael Eavis asked why Gallagher should want to get involved with which artists are playing.

“He should give someone else a chance. He needn’t have said that and I was disappointed he did.”

Jay-Z will headline the Pyramid Stage at this year’s festival, which runs from June 27th-29th, alongside The Verve and Kings of Leon.
