During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the High Flying Birds frontman was asked what advice he would give to the singer. He said: “(For Zayn) I’d say, ‘F**kin’ get a good accountant because life is very f**kin’ long.” Zayn with his mum shortly after leaving One Direction. The 47-year-old added: “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... gettin’ paid half a million dollars a week, you f**kin’ idiot. You want to be a normal 22-year-old? Have you met any normal 22-year-olds? They’re f**kin’ sh*t-for-brains.” High Flying Birds are going on tour in North America. Noel, who is gearing up for his band’s North American tour, finished with: “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.’” Check out the full interview on the Rolling Stone website.
