USHER HAS blasted Noel Gallagher over his comments about Glastonbury headliner, Jay-Z.

The R&B singer believes the Oasis star is wrong to say Jay-Z should not headline the music festival, and insists the rapper will prove him wrong with a spectacular performance.

Usher said: "It really shocked me that he said Jay-Z was the wrong choice. Jay-Z is an incredible artiste and headliner.

"I saw him perform at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and you're not getting better than that."

Usher is not the first person to blast Noel, who claimed booking Jay-Z was "wrong" and went against the festival's "tradition of guitar music".

Disappointed

Last week, event organiser Michael Eavis hit back, saying: "Why did Noel need to get involved? It was a bit weird, to be honest. He should give someone else a chance. He needn't have said that and I was disappointed he did."

The Glastonbury festival takes place in Somerset, Southwest England, on the weekend of June 27-29.
