Former Oasis guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher says celebrities have wrecked Twitter by using it to try and sell to people.

He has a bit of a point. A fair few celebs do like to endorse, but fear not people the singer whose new single ‘AKA… What A Life!’ came out earlier this month (the acoustic version below is excellent) won’t be doing any hawking of his upcoming album in these social media parts as despite his vocal thoughts on the microblogging service he isn’t on Twitter although his brother Liam with 312,000 followers is.

“I’m not a tweeter … Stuff like, ‘Oh I’m going for a shower,’ great. ‘I slept in again, bugger.’ Life’s too short for that kind of thing but I think those things like Facebook and twitter and stuff were started with the best of intentions to connect ordinary people around the world, like daughters travelling in Europe can tweet their mums.

“But as with everything celebrities get involved and bastardise it, trying to sell you their s**t. There’s too much of that. Anything that’s of any use famous people get hold of it and take it for themselves and it gets a bad rap. I’m like sitting here and thinking I hate twitter and I don’t know why,” Noel told Yahoo.

He must be talking about people like ‘Coronation Street’ star Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie Webster, who was told off recently by ITV bosses for using Twitter to plug products to her followers. Naughty. What do you think is he right?

His new album ‘Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ is out on October 17 until then enjoy this:
