Noel Gallagher rubbishes Bond theme claims

Noel Gallagher has rubbished claims that he has been lined up to record the theme for the next James Bond film.

The ex-Oasis guitarist had been linked with writing the official song for the upcoming SkyFall due for release in October 2012.

In a blog post on his website Noel Gallagher called the song rumours "bizarre".

He said he had not had any contact from the film's makers and that no meetings had taken place.

Questionable 'source'

He wrote: "I don't know whether you've seen a story that's doing the rounds about me being offered the job of penning the tune for the new James Bond film?

"Apparently, I'm being courted by '007 bosses.'

"A meeting will be 'taking place in the next few days!' With some guy called 'Michael G. Wilson' (whoever he is)!

"A 'source' says, 'nothing has been signed or made official' Of course it hasn't! Who is this 'source'? Has he been on the 'sauce?'"

Previously Adele had been linked with performing the new Bond theme.

Rapper Tinie Tempah seemingly confirmed that she was lined up to sing it back in September.

"I was with her yesterday and she was telling me about it. That's amazing," he said.
