Noel Gallagher Slams Media Phone Hacking Scandal

Noel Gallagher has slammed the media over the recent phone hacking claims.

The singer/guitarist who appeared at a press conference today (July 6) in London to announce his new solo album, said that phone hacking is 'the dark side of the media' today.

When asked what he thought about the recent phone hacking claims, Noel said: ''I hope ours have been hacked. There are some f*cking great comments on their from over the years. And if it was hacked you'd all end up in the s*it''

He added: ''It's probably the most gross an infringement of people's civil liberties as there is ever likely to be particularly in the case of that young girl who died. It's the dark side of the media.''

Noel Gallagher's 'High Flying Birds' is released on October 17 – and is the first of two albums the singer has completed.
