Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has some tough love for the dork who left One Direction.

Do have any advice for Zayn Malik, who recently left the group?

I've never met him. I've only met Harry, who orbits in social circles where sometimes we end up at the same parties. Harry's not got a great deal to say for himself, but he's a good lad! For Zayn, though, I'd say, "Fuckin' get a good accountant because life is very fuckin' long."

It's a strange thing for that lad to have done at that age. The greatest quote was — I laughed out loud when I read it — "I just want to be a normal 22-year-old." Pfft. Who wants to be a normal 22-year-old?! Hang on a minute. You can be fucking anything that moves and gettin' paid half a million dollars a week, you fuckin' idiot. You want to be a normal 22-year-old? Have you met any normal 22-year-olds? They're fuckin' shit-for-brains. What are you talking about, you fuckin' idiot? God. All those young Japanese girls suckin' me cock. [Sarcastically] So shallow and meaningless. I'll say this to you, Zayn: You might have wanted to be a normal 22-year-old, but you won't want to be a normal 25-year-old [laughs].

He also handles Christina Aguilera, Journey, Joe Walsh, Van Halen, Steely Dan, and Lindsey Buckingham.

He's a big part of the reason why they're as wealthy as they are. It's never just "talent" in the music business, and I'm sure it would be easy to come up with a long list of musicians just as worth of fame and fortune, if it weren't for the fact that they made bad business decisions.

Azoff is feared and loathed by many. He does not mess around, he is no lightweight.
