You wait ages for one Avicii story, and then two come along at once, eh?
The Swedish DJ and producer, real name Tim Bergling, has started a war of words with Noel Gallagher - or perhaps more accurately, responded to Gallagher's recent comments about him in an interview.
The High Flying Birds frontman recently dismissed Berling's music by telling NME: "I don’t know anything about Avicii. I don’t wish to know anything about Avicii. It sounds like an artist from the Renaissance period."
Now, Avicii has responded to the jibe by posting a video of a South Park clip to Instagram (below), with the caption reading:
"Sounds like youre playing the wrong festival if youre at the same time dissing its entire audiences music taste you silly sausage! :O. (PS: Guess what: There are still good bands, still making great music that changes peoples lives, - what is really "sad" is hearing a old time musician like yourself confessing so bluntly and openly to not having an open mind to new music by dissing shit u havnt even heard."
He continued: "I really didnt think someone whose whole image is being witty would turn all stereotype 'bitter ol timer rocker' like that lol. I Wish you nothing but the best and hope you one day will broaden your music taste and keep developing urself as an artist and musicians.
I would actually love to preview you my album song by song and hear your honest feedback but I dare you to say the same thing afterwards // "Dude in a hat"🎩"
The floor is yours, Noel...
