Noel Gallagher has said that Axl Rose joining AC/DC on tour is ‘wrong’.

The High Flying Birds star has weighed in on rumours that the Guns ‘N’ Roses frontman is set to replace Brian Johnson on tour.

Never one to mince his words, Gallagher gave his opinion on the reported line-up change in an interview with Triple M.

Despite proclaiming to be a fan of Guns ‘N’ Roses in the past, the former Oasis star simply said: “Wrong, that’s wrong.”

While neither AC/DC nor Rose have confirmed the collaboration, they were recently spotted leaving the same rehearsal space in Atlanta.

Last month the band announced that Johnson had to quit the tour as he was at risk of suffering ‘total hearing loss’.

A statement on their official website read: “AC/DC are forced to reschedule the 10 upcoming dates on the U.S. leg of their “Rock or Bust” World Tour.

“AC/DC’s lead singer, Brian Johnson, has been advised by doctors to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss.”

The statement continued: “Tomorrow's show in Atlanta through Madison Square Garden in New York, NY in early April will be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist.”
