A timeline of Noel Gallagher and Lewis Capaldi's feud

June, 2019

During an interview with Gordon Smart in June, Noel gave an unenthusiastic account about modern music.

When Gordon mentioned Lewis Capaldi in an attempt to counter the singer’s argument about young artists, Noel asked: "Who's this Capaldi fella?", before branding the Scottish singer an “idiot”.

In reference to Noel, Lewis claimed he had “peaked”, a comment which many of his fans found humourous.

He said: “That’s me, I’ve peaked, slagged aff by Noel Gallagher. It’s me. What a day.” (sic)

In a video shared on Father’s Day via Snapchat, he added: “It’s Father’s Day and I’m being slagged aff by a man who’s old enough to be my dad. And I’ve never been more happy. Happy Father’s Day Noel.” (sic)

He captioned the short video: “@LewisCapaldi you big daftie. You might wanna try and find some joy in your tunes you’re destroying the youth… my 11yr old is in bits.”(sic)

Following Lewis' Glastonbury gig, Noel called the Scottish star a “Chewbacca” and mocked his music career.

Speaking to , he said: “F*****g Chewbacca should enjoy his 15 minutes. The greatest day of his life that I slagged him off or called him an idiot."

He then launched into a foul-mouthed rant about the musician’s hometown – Scotland.

“It’s the greatest day of his fucking life so far. He’s just thinking, ‘Wow!’ Well, I know you’re Scottish and all that, but fucking hell!

"It is like a third world country, but for fuck‘s sake, man, you must have had a better day than this. Surely!”

A day after Noel’s “Chewbacca” remark Lewis changed his profile picture to an image of his face superimposed on the Star Wars character.

Sharing the shot on Twitter, he simply captioned the spin-tickling photograph: “#NewProfilePic”.

Elsewhere, Liam leapt to the defense of the young artist, tweeting that he “adored” Scotland.

Of course, Noel's comments about Scotland infuriated many, not that he would notice, as he continues his feud with the breakthrough artist.
