Italian controversy for Noel Gallagher as he complains about a TV interview

Noel Gallagher raised a few eyebrows in Italy after posting a rant on Facebook about an interview recorded as part of the talk show “Che Tempo Fa”, which averages four million listeners on the state channel Rai 3.

The Facebook post has since been heavily edited, but here is a transcription and below is a screen capture.

“That Italian TV show was a fucking struggle. The miming I don't mind, it's the interview.
You have an actual person in front of you asking questions in Italian and a phantom in your ear translating them into English. It can be, and usually is, very awkward.
Here is but one example of what I mean...and bear in mind I'd been kissing the sky with Nancy until 5am the previous.
"Noel...you say that you don't take yourself seriously and that you live only for the moment. I also hear you say you refuse to overthink anything that you do in as much as you let the people decide what is and what is not...but what we would like to know is how do you come to such enlightenment at such an age?"
"..........Erm....Si?"
"I'm sorry but you have to give me an answer.."
".......Erm...I don't know?"
(Huge round of applause).
I started to do a little sweat.
After about 6 months we left the TV studio and were taken out to some swanky restaurant, which was indeed a night club, which was indeed the preferred hang out for yer Milanese footballer.
All the women (and there was a LOT of women) looked like Mick Jagger when Mick Jagger looked like an Italian woman (1965-1969!). Nice enough gaff...Nancy would have loved it.”

The presenter of the program, Fabio Fazio, replied to Gallagher’s statements on Twitter, arguing that (translation)

“The question that Noel Gallagher complains about has never been asked. You just need to listen back… ;-) He’s right: he had had too much to drink the night before.”

At least, Noel enjoyed his Milan gig, posting:

“The gig was amazing, the kind of gig you'd never want to end. Easily my favourite so far. I would go into greater detail but I'll freely admit I'm suffering with a raging hangover.”
