Noel Gallagher declares Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl show 'nonsense'

Noel Gallagher has declared Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show "absolute nonsense".

The Oasis singer claimed to dislike all halftime performances in an interview with sports radio station TalkSport.

"I had to switch it off. It was absolute nonsense," Noel, 57, said, before adding he avoided watching the halftime show entirely.

"I didn't watch it all, I just switched it off. There was like 300 people getting out of a car in the first two minutes."

The guitarist and frontman revealed he had rarely enjoyed any halftime performance at a sporting match.

"I don't like the halftime nonsense, it's usually artists I don't like," he declared. "I never watch it, I'm not interested in it."

Noel went on to explain he was troubled by the mixing of sport and music in general, deriding halftime entertainment as an unwelcome American influence on British sporting fixtures.

"Americans are taking over our sport," he complained.

"They're taking over the Premier League, they'll take over the Champions League, trust me, 20 years from now it will all be nonsense," he said.

Despite Noel's disapproval, 37-year-old Kendrick's show was the most-watched Super Bowl halftime performance of all time.

It earned 133.5 million viewers, in comparison to the actual game's average of 126 million viewers.
