When you get to Noel Gallagher's level of success and fame, I suppose you can do whatever the fuck you like. As evidenced here, in this clip from Later... With Jools Holland where he's got someone on stage with him 'playing' the scissors.

The elder Gallagher brother appeared with his band The High Flying Birds to perform the new track 'She Taught Me How To Fly' and as the camera panned across the band you could see one woman open and closing some scissors into the mic.
Doesn't she look bored? She's probably always dreamt of appearing on stage with one of the biggest names in musical history, but not like this...
Music and stationery fans alike flocked to social media to ask what was going on:
Noel Gallagher is turning into every musician he used to tear the piss out of. Imagine being told to stand there and play the scissors.

A common theme was that Noel is trying his very hardest to piss off brother Liam, which seems like a possibility.
Noel Gallagher had a woman on #LaterJools playing the scissors. Yes, the SCISSORS! It's like he's doing things to deliberately annoy Liam.

Noel G had a woman playing the scissors on Jools Holland. Surely that's just to wind up his brother.

But maybe she's just really good at closing scissors and Noel decided his new track can't be without the sound.
Is she a musician or a
hairdresser/professional gift wrapper? I need to know. I've got so many questions, Noel.
It's good news for me, I lack any musical talent, but I can use scissors, so there's hope for me to headline Glastonbury in the future.
