Ed Sheeran has hit back at Noel Gallagher after he claimed he "couldn't live in a world" where the Don't singer can headline Wembley Stadium.

During an interview with NME, the former Oasis star revealed his unhappiness that Ed will grace the stage at the 80,000 capacity venue in July, stating: "I don’t think I can live in a world where that’s even possible.

"When you hear that kind of polished pop and then there’s a ginger guy with a f**king guitar it seems subversive, but it’s f**king not."

And, after hearing about Noel's remarks on Twitter, Sheeran quipped: "I can live in it, it's really enjoyable."

"It’s not all over, but it’ll go back to the way it was in the early ‘80s where indie bands are the alternative thing, the lower level."

He added: "In the early ‘80s everyone at indie labels, even major labels, were trying to push this music to the fore because everything else was shit, and maybe it’ll happen again, but I don’t see it for the next decade."

Noel is yet to respond to Ed's come back.
