Apparently Oasis’ Noel Gallagher is selling his Ibiza holiday home – because he can’t stand to live near James Blunt, who owns a nearby pad, anymore.

According to The Sun’s Bizarre column, Gallagher has put the £5.5million villa on the market, saying that he can’t stand living there in the knowledge that Blunt is nearby making terrible music.

The newspaper quotes an anonymous source as saying: “Noel has been going to Ibiza every summer for years. But he’s fed up of hearing James Blunt bang on about Ibiza like he owns the place.

“It’s taken the charm out of it for him so he’s put his villa up for sale. It’s close to Blunt’s place, and he [Gallagher] says he can’t stand the thought of Blunt writing crap tunes up the road.”

Gallagher bought the property for £2.5 million in 1999 from Mike Oldfield.

That's a tad pathetic really but this did make me laugh,
â€œItâ€™s taken the charm out of it for him so heâ€™s put his villa up for sale."
Ibiza may be a lot of things but charm certainly isn't one of the characteristics I'd associate with it.

Moving house isn't that much of a big deal really. I mean, compared to what I did when I first heard the 'Be Here Now' album

Surely if people knew they both lived on the island, hostile military force would have been required.

Fucking brilliant. I can't stand to be in the vacinity of radio playing a James Blunt song let alone have him live on my road. You tell em Noel, top man.
