Noel Gallagher has made a public apology for 'ruining dance music', after apparently coming to the realisation that Oasis' success brought about the end of the scene.

The High Flying Birds star spoke of the realisation, which took place after an all-night session at Coachella Festival in the US earlier this year. He came to the conclusion that the rise of Oasis, and the guitar bands that followed, was responsible for the demise of the dance scene.

"We were up till seven o'clock in the morning, listening to those classic house tunes, going, 'Why did music have to change? Why couldn’t it have stayed like this?' Then someone said, It’s because of you! And I was, 'Yeah, sorry about that'," says Noel in an exclusive interview with Q Magazine.

Noel's love for classic dance music remains today, and he believes his track, and most popular solo hit, 'AKA... What A Life!' is perfect for Manchester's classic club venue, the Hacienda.

"It's taken me 20 years to write a song which could've actually been played in the Haçienda!" He adds.

Gallagher recently revealed his plans to take time on recording the follow up to his debut solo album, claiming that he wants to avoid recording a record as 'sh*t' as Be Here Now', the Oasis album he has frequently criticised.
