Because the word of tabloid journalists is gospel, we can now inform you that Noel Gallagher has fled his Ibiza home because he can’t stand living down the road from saccharine serenader James Blunt.

The Sun has reported the Oasis singer sold his party isle pad for £5.5m to escape his neighbour. A – œpal’ of Gallagher told the paper, “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 very close to Blunt’s place and he says he can’t stand the thought of Blunt writing crap songs down the road.”
