ROCKER Noel Gallagher says he realised the music industry was dead when he saw Muse drummer Dominic Howard smoking an electronic cigarette at the BRIT Awards last month.
The former Oasis star launched into a wild rant in a recent interview with Time Out Dubai, lashing out at the state of the music industry and saying that the BRIT Awards was an "instantly forgettable night."
"There are no characters left in the music business. When we first started going there was a healthy percentage of people, and we were all dirt-kickers from council estates, and we all couldn't believe our luck that we were at the Brits.
"You go in now and everybody is a careerist. It's very corporate, and you know what I’ve actually seen people doing at the Brits? Eating," the 45-year-old singer fumed.
"I saw the drummer from Muse smoking an electronic cigarette. A cigarette with a battery in. I had to say to him: 'Really? Really? Is that where you are at? Do me a favour mate, either have a proper one outside, or don’t have one.'
"It lit up green when he had a drag of it. Nonsense. He said that immortal line - 'Oh you know how it is mate'. And I said 'I'm sorry mate, I actually don’t.' " Gallagher continued.
But the outspoken star wasn't done there. He went on to trash the younger generation of musicians, declaring that they are nothing but "a lot of young people in hats, with iPhones".
"There was nothing going on at the Brits, there was nothing going on at the after-show parties. There seemed to be a lot of young people in hats, with iPhones. They're either all involved in some massive video game that they're all hooked up to, or they're just texting each other saying 'where are you, what are you doing?'
"And they’ve all got hats. Where did the hat come from? We're going back to some Dickensian nightmare. I don't understand it. People with hats and Blackberrys under the age of 30 should be shot. Or stoned to death."
In a separate outburst earlier this week, the Don’t Look Back In Anger singer had a dig at Justin Bieber for keeping fans waiting two hours at his sold-out London gig on Monday.
"I would have been relieved if I was one of his fans," Gallagher quipped at Russell Brand's Comic Relief concert.
"I would be [disappointed] because kids are crying. I don't really know a great deal about him. I don't have an opinion on him. But it's not cool."
