Noel Gallagher: 'I Got Mistaken For Maroon 5's Adam Levine At World Cup Final'

Noel Gallagher has revealed that he got mistaken for the lead singer from Maroon 5 at the World Cup final in South Africa.

The former Oasis guitarist was a guest of honour for the match between Spain and the Netherlands on Sunday (July 11).

Gallagher said he was enjoying a pre-match dinner with a number of high profile guests when someone confused him for Adam Levine.

"I had dinner with Naomi Campbell, [Nelson Mandela's daughter] Zindzi Mandela, the minister for the interior and some of the top ANC crew," Gallagher told The Sun.

“Armed guards everywhere. Incredible. And I got mistaken for the lead singer from Maroon 5 by some **** from Tanzania!"

Andres Iniesta struck a dramatic winner in extra time to seal victory for the Spanish side.

The team later thanked Kasabian for inspiring them to the title.
