Paul Weller says he would ‘never, ever’ give advice to Noel Gallagher

Liam Gallagher had accused the former Jam singer-songwriter of influencing his brother’s solo career

The Jam’s Paul Weller has said that he would “never, ever” give advice to former Oasis musician Noel Gallagher.

The comments come after Gallagher’s brother and former bandmate Liam accused Weller of holding “secret meetings” in which he offered advice to the Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds star about going solo.

Liam Gallagher had also stated that Weller was “full of s***”.

Speaking to NME about the controversy, Weller said: “I’ve got better things to think about. I love both of them, anyway… I think they’re both brilliant characters.”

“Listen – to put the record straight, I would never, ever give Noel Gallagher advice. What do you say to somebody who’s just sold 50 million fucking records? ‘Oh, I know what you should do…’ So that’s not true.”

In the same interview, Weller also addressed the praise he received from Tyler, the creator, who recently revealed he was a fan of Weller’s former band, The Style Council.

“Funnily enough we met him very briefly,” he said. “He’s got a shop on Melrose [Los Angeles]. I’m surprised he’s even heard of us.

“Would I work with him? I don’t know, mate, but I’m open for working with anyone if they’re good.”
