Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher launched into a foul-mouthed rant in which he misgendered Sam Smith and called “them” a “f***ing idiot”.

Gallagher referred to the non-binary singer as “him” as he spoke about the “current state of pop music” on Dutch radio station Kink.

Via MirrorUK: “Music has become quite fractured and chart music is dominated by pop. Pop music is alright if the pop stars are cool. Sadly the stars of today are f***ing idiots. When probed on who he was referring to that was “uncool”, Noel replied: “Sam Smith.” Quizzed on why he had said the 30-year-old – who uses they/them pronouns – Noel replied: “Look at him!“
