Oasis singer/songwriter Noel Gallagher has backed Michael Jackson after the documentary on the singer aired last week, causing some controversy.

“Look, any man that has got a fairground in his backgarden and can say to a child, ‘I’m going to build a water park behind that mountain’, well, we all have to give him a round of applause.”

“He seems like a very passionate and caring father so let’s not tear him up.”

He described the Martin Bashir documentary as “typical British effing journalism.”
