If Noel Gallagher didn't already have our hearts, his latest comments about fans with cameraphones would have won them.
The former Oasis man and current High Flying Birds frontman - who is bound for Electric Picnic in September - was speaking to Rolling Stone about fame, and while he says he generally enjoys being famous, there are downsides to it, too - most notably, people following you and taking unsolicitied pictures.
He said: "It is a bit awkward when you're just walking around a department store trying to buy underwear and there's people following you with camera phones and shit like that. But the downside to fame, I've yet to experience one. It's great."
On the topic of selfies, however, he had some more scathing words:
"I'm sick of fans asking for selfies, but I just tell them to go and fuck themselves. I'm not beholden to anyone with a camera phone and I don't give a fuck if they think I'm an arsehole."
He continued: "I turn down photographs on a daily basis. When people say can I have a picture and I just say no and they just (laugh and) go, 'Yeah, what really?' 'Yeah really I'm fucking busy here buying underwear'. Some people get so offended and then you get people who insist, they insist. If I feel like doing it, I'll do it if I don't feel like doing it fuck them. I don't live my life to have my picture taken by fans whether they buy my records or not. I don't ask them to buy them."
Noel, you're our kind of guy.
