Noel Gallagher: ‘Shakespeare is all fucking gibberish’

Gallagher also speaks out about abolishing the smoking ban

Noel Gallagher has branded the work of William Shakespeare ‘fucking gibberish’.

Recalling watching Jude Law in a production of Hamlet, Gallagher explained of the four hour production that there “wasn’t one single minute that I know what was going on”. He added:

I was thinking ‘I know they’re speaking English but it’s just all fucking gibberish’. I can appreciate the action and the way they learned all those lines but… what the fuck was going on?

Speaking to ES Magazine, Gallagher also revealed that if he was Mayor of London for the day, he would abolish the smoking ban. He said:

I’ve smoked since I was a teenager and now poor souls like me have to stand outside. What really annoys me is that in the winter we’re all outside shivering, with all the squares inside, and then in the summer the squares come outside and it’s like, ‘This is for smokers, get back inside with your Birkenstocks’.
