LOUDMOUTH rocker Noel Gallagher has sparked a fresh feud — this time with superstar Adele.

The former Oasis star, who has previously riled stars including Sam Smith, Harry Styles and Blur’s Damon Albarn, compared the British superstar to late singer Cilla Black and said he found her singing “offensive”.

When asked if he was a fan of Adele’s songs, Noel, 56, said: “F***k off, f***ing hell. Name one?

"They’re f***ing s**t. It’s f***ing awful. It’s f***ing Cilla Black. I find it and that whole thing offensive.”

Adele, who has a residency in Las Vegas, has scored four No1 albums and 11 UK Top singles including her No1s Someone Like You, Hello and Easy On Me.

Noel, who sold 75million records with Oasis, went on to admit the only way Adele, 35, could improve herself would be performing a song he wrote.

Speaking on the Matt Morgan podcast, Noel said: “If I fall out of love with touring, I could see myself just sitting at home writing songs and sending them to my publishers. I might in the future.

“I’ll be saying, ‘Get Adele to sing that. Don’t call until she’s done the guide vocal’.

“I want Lewis Capaldi to murder this song, I want him to st on it from a great height. Make me rich’.”

Noel, 56, who is on tour with his band, The High Flying Birds, is no stranger to throwing out insults at musicians.

He slammed Sam Smith as the “biggest idiot around”. When asked why he thought that, Noel added: “Just look at him.”

He has also taken aim at stars who got their break from talent shows — including One Direction singer Harry.

He said: “The X Factor is a TV show. It’s got nothing to do with music. It’s got nothing to do with music whatsoever and anything that has come from that, that’s got nothing to do with music”.

“You’re not telling me Harry Styles is currently in a room somewhere writing a song.

“With any joy, he’ll be surrounded by a lot of girls.

“I can assure you he’s not got an acoustic guitar out trying to write a middle eight for something.”

Of Britpop rival Damon, Noel admitted his younger self would be angry for collaborating with him on Damon’s Gorillaz’s song, We Got The Power, in 2008.

Noel added: “What would my younger self think of me working with Damon Albarn? It would depend entirely on what side of the bed I got out of that day.

“If you caught me on a good day I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I could see that happening.’

“On a bad day, I’d f***ing knife myself in the b*****ks.”
