Noel Gallagher lost interest in Kanye West’s Glastonbury set 'after half an hour'
High Flying Birds frontman Noel Gallagher has revealed he lost interest in Kanye West’s Glastonbury set after half an hour.
Gallagher, 48, said at first he was impressed by the performance while watching it on his iPad, but he soon got bored.
"I thought for half an hour it was f****** outrageous. It looked amazing on my iPad, I have to say," he told NME.
"For 30 minutes I thought, 'Wow, this is truly f****** amazing'. Then, like most hip-hop gigs, after 45 minutes you're going, 'I want something else now'. But for half an hour it was as good as it gets."

West's Saturday night headline slot on the pyramid stage was met with mixed reviews after he halted several songs before continuing and told the audience: "You are now watching the greatest living rock star on the planet."
Gallagher's comments do not mark the first time he has hit out at a Glastonbury headliner.
The former Oasis singer famously slammed Michael Eavis’ decision to book rapper Jay-Z for a headline slot in 2008. "Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music... I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury,” he said. “It's wrong."
