James Blunt has slammed Noel Gallagher for being ‘two-faced’ after he moved away from him because the Oasis star ‘was fed up with his songs’.
The singer, 50, also called out the two famous musicians that have been ‘mean’ to him throughout his career.
Speaking on the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast, James – who lived nearby Noel in Ibiza – revealed the Oasis star, 57, sold his home because he couldn’t bare his ‘s*** songs’.
He said: ‘I bumped into Noel Gallagher the other day. He’d said he was leaving Ibiza and selling up his house because he couldn’t handle me writing my s*** songs down the road from him, house prices subsequently went up after he’s left.
‘Whenever I see him, he’s really sweet to my face. I think everyone’s sweet to each other’s faces.

‘It’s just with the courage of a microphone and a journalist and trying to show off a little, they’ll do something different.’
James and Noel have known each other for years and back in 2006, the Don’t Look Back In Anger singer lashed out at him when he was planning to buy a house in Ibiza next to him.
At the time, Noel announced he would be selling his holiday home as he didn’t want to stay next door to James knowing he would be making ‘terrible music’.
However, James claims to have had the last laugh as he claims property prices increased once Noel left the area.
James previously labelled Noel ‘two-faced’, admitting: ‘To your face he’s a coward. He said he couldn’t have me writing my s****y songs just down the road from him.’
James also touched on the criticism he has faced from Paul Weller, 66, and Damon Albarn, 56, over the year.
Elizabeth asked: ‘I want to talk to you a bit about award ceremonies, because they haven’t been happy places for you a lot of the time, even when you win…Because you’ve had people really slag you off at them, Paul Weller.’
James said: ‘I did. I did go through a session, didn’t I, then Paul Weller was mean. I don’t know where’.

Paul previously said ‘he’d rather eat his own s*** than work with James’
Meanwhile, James delved into the time Damon of Blur refused to have his photograph taken with him on the BBC2 show Later With Jools Holland
Paul previously said ‘he’d rather eat his own s*** than work with James’.
James added: ‘Yes. But the weird thing about that was I genuinely hadn’t asked to work with him. So why has he suddenly come up with this statement?
‘It just must be that he really, really just was seizing the opportunity to eat his own s***. I don’t know why he was effectively volunteering to do that because I hadn’t asked him.’
Meanwhile, James delved into the time Damon of Blur refused to have his photograph taken with him on the BBC2 show Later With Jools Holland.
He said: ‘Damon apparently refused to be in the same picture as me so I was going through this really weird experience.
‘Suddenly where they kept me back in my dressing room and they kept saying, you can’t come out and they were being really shady with me while they gathered all the musicians.
‘And then they took the photo and then they said, “okay, now you can come out” as Damon walked off and got in his car and then they took a second photo with all the musicians except Damon.
‘And I don’t know which is on the wall, but I can take a guess. So it was just really weird behaviour.’
