Noel Gallagher, Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon And Paul Weller Play Blur's Tender Live

Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn put two decades of Britpop animosity behind them tonight (March 23), when they performed together at London's Royal Albert Hall for a Teenage Cancer Trust gig.

Former Oasis man Gallagher once famously claimed that he wished Blur's Albarn would "get AIDS and die", while Albarn had retorted: "I can't make up with Noel. Britpop would be over and heaven forbid that we'd ever admit we'd all grown up!" But the pair have been meeting up over the past few years, and were happy to pose together at the Brit Awards last month.

And tonight the thawing of their relationship was complete, as Gallagher joined Albarn on stage for a performance of Blur's 'Tender' at around 8:30pm (GMT).

Gallagher has curated this week's series of shows at the grand London venue, and it had long been rumoured that he was set to collaborate with his former rock rival. But tonight's joint performance still drew surprise from the audience at the sold-out show, as Albarn started saying "Noel? Noel?" during his scheduled performance with Blur bandmate Graham Coxon, Paul Weller and American author Michael Horowitz.

Gallagher then emerged to cheers as he played guitar for a performance of Blur's 'Tender' with Albarn on guitar and vocals, Coxon on guitar and vocals and Weller on drums. The ex-Oasis man had joked to NME the night before that he wanted to play 'Tender' with Albarn because it was "easy" to play on guitar.

The night is set to continue with a full set from Gallagher.

Check the next issue of NME, out March 27 for an exclusive interview with Gallagher about the collaboration and pictures from the performance.

Noel Gallagher To Play At The 'Teenage Cancer Trust' Concerts Later Today

Noel Gallagher, Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon are set to perform at the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts at the Royal Albert Hall later today.

Check back later today for all the details.

Russell Brand Takes Aim At Noel Gallagher

Noel Fielding and Russell Brand performed for the Teenage Cancer Trust at London's Royal Albert Hall last night (March 20) as part of a week of special shows organised by Noel Gallagher.

The chaotic show was introduced by the charity's founder Roger Daltrey, after which Fielding and Brand appeared as a double act called The Goth Detectives, inviting audience members to offer up mysteries for them to solve. The show culminated later in the evening with them giving a 'gothmakeover' to an audience member, cutting his hair and draping him in black.

During the show, Noel Gallagher made an appearance to talk about the charity's work. But he was also the brunt of many of Russell Brand's gags. Brand joked about how Gallagher took the mickey out of him "murdering" The Beatles during the Olympics Opening Ceremony. Brand then joked that at least he hadn't "dug up their corpses and made a career of it".

Brand also played a video recorded at Gallagher's house, which showed the singer's children punching a Brand face mask while shouting, "I hate Russell Brand!"

Brand also performed solo for a section of the show, as did Fielding, who performed as Roy Circles, the chocolate finger PE teacher character from his show Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy. Comedians Tony Law and Seann Walsh also played sets during the show.

The Teenage Cancer Trust shows continue tonight with Primal Scream. Kasabian play on Friday and Noel, Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon and Gruff Rhys appear on Saturday.

Noel Gallagher To Play Songs He's Never Played Before At Teenage Cancer Trust Concert

Noel Gallagher is set to play a brand new song and a number of Oasis songs he's never played before at his Teenage Cancer Trust concert that takes place at the Royal Albert Hall later this month.

Speaking to Sky Sports 'Fantasy Football Club' about playing new songs at the annual event he said.

"I might do one new song, I'm going to be doing songs I have never done before, but that's not to say they are new songs. I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do yet,  I'm not doing the same thing as I done, I did eleven gigs in London last year so I cant really get away with the same set.

He also spoke about collaborating with Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon at the event.

The former Oasis man said "Damon and Graham are going on before me doing something, they told me what they are doing the other night but I cant remember what they said. But it's special though, unique".

When asked about collaborating with the pair on stage he said "We spoke about it the other night at the Brits, but I cant remember what we decided we were going to do, cause Champagne was involved".

More On Noel Gallagher's And Russell Brand's XFM Show

The notorious dream team are back to celebrate the Teenage Cancer Trust dates...

Russell Brand is to return to Xfm next month... and he's reuniting with his old friend Noel Gallagher for a special series of shows to mark this year's Teenage Cancer Trust gigs.

The pair are to helm a new programme in the lead up to the week-long set of dates for the charity - the first time in seven years that they've worked with producer Matt Morgan and poet Mr Gee.

Noel told Xfm presenter and Sun columnist Gordon Smart: "Xfm asked me if I wanted to do my own radio show leading up to this year's TCT concerts. I said, I have a better idea. Why don't we resurrect whats-his-name's career? That hairy skinny-legged yogameister, Rustle Brand? Last seen shaming the nation at them Olympics…

"It'll be great to remind people how colossal me, Matt Morgan and Mr Gee were on that bloody show before 'Arthur' got us all the sack. Tune in and see if I'm wrong."

Russell told Gordon: "I miss radio. It was lovely when we did the show. It'll be great to get the old team back together."

This was the show that landed Jonathan Ross and Brand in trouble over the whole Andrew Sachs "Sachsgate" affair. Xfm is excited, ecstatic, pleased - and ever so slightly nervous - at welcoming the Brand/Gallagher team back into our studios.

Noel has curated this year's Teenage Cancer Trust dates, which include performances by Primal Scream, Kasabian, Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon and an evening of comedy featuring Russell Brand, Noel Fielding and more.

The Xfm shows will make a fine prelude to an incredible run of gigs at the Royal Albert Hall.

It's going to be unmissable, and takes place in late March. The TCT shows start on March 19 and run through to March 24.

Video From Noel Gallagher's Press Conference

Noel Gallagher has asked long-time Blur rivals Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon to perform at a charity gig to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.Gallagher, who famously feuded with the band during the Britpop years, said he had asked Blur to play but was told they had been put "to bed".

 

Noel Gallagher Backs Christopher Maloney To Win The X Factor

There are fears that if Baloney is crowned winner he’ll not only ruin the show’s credibility but could also kill the prospect of a 10th series next year.

Noel Gallagher has scuppered his chances of ever being asked again to be an X Factor judge by Simon Cowell... he’s backing cheesy Chris Maloney to be the winner.

The ex-Oasis star said: “I’ve been watching X Factor and I wouldn’t mind seeing the Scouser win, because it’d be great to watch him have a nervous breakdown.

“But I also think James Arthur should win. That lad’s the best out of them all.

“I do like The X Factor, I’ve got say, for my sins.”

There are fears that if Baloney is crowned winner he’ll not only ruin the show’s credibility but could also kill the prospect of a 10th series next year.

Rocker Noel, who announced the line-up for the 2013 Teenage Cancer Trust At The Royal Albert Hall gigs, has asked his long-time Blur rivals Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon if they’ll perform alongside him.

Noel, who ended his feud with the band last year, said: “Will we play together? I hope so.”

The dad-of-three also had some paternal advice to give royal parents-to-be William and Kate.

He pointed out: “They’re not the first people in the country to have a baby, are they? I’ve had three.

“William should probably think about rejoining the Army. He’d have a quieter life.”

A garden shed might be a safer option.

Noel Gallagher Gives Out Fatherly Advice To Prince William

Noel Gallagher knows quite a bit about maintaining a clean image while being a dad in the spotlight.

So it’s unsurprising he’s doled out some fatherly advice for Prince William about coping with parenthood.

His words of wisdom won’t win him any Dad Of The Year awards though.

The singer says William would be best fighting with the Army once his missus Kate Middleton has the tot — because it would be less hassle than coping with the crying and potty-training sessions.

Noel, who ditched his hardcore party days years ago, said: “They’re not the first people in the country to have a child, are they?

“I’ve got three, you know. Do I have any advice for them? People write books about that s***. Very expensive books — my wife’s got ’em all.

“Tell William he’d be better thinking about rejoining the Army — he’d have a quieter life.”

Noel was asked for his thoughts on how Wills should handle the new arrival while revealing the line-up for next year’s Teenage Cancer Trust gigs, which will feature Kasabian, Primal Scream, Rizzle Kicks and Labrinth.

Noel will be curating the annual event, to run from March 19 to 24 at the Royal Albert Hall.

And Noel pulled off a decent surprise — announcing yesterday that he’s persuaded his old Blur rivals Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon to support him on the final night of the shows. He said: “I was on tour with Graham and asked him if Blur would do it.

“They said just the two of them could and it’ll be great. Ten years ago with Liam, who’d have thought it?”

Noel also hinted that the former rivals could take to the stage together, now they’ve finally buried their Britpop hatchet.

He said: “They’ll be playing Blur songs, I’ll be playing mine.

“Will we share the stage together? I hope so. I’m up for it. It’s always good to have a little jam.” Noel also showed how much he’s softened since his hard-living Oasis days.

He added: “I do play Blur’s Tender at home to myself, when Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Minute Meals is on.

“He’s got some good s*** going on on there, you should try it out.”

Setting up the gigs has clearly helped bring out Noel’s charitable side — that plug should help shift a few more copies of Jamie’s Christmas cookbooks.

Tickets for the TCT gigs go on sale tomorrow, priced £25. To keep up to date, visit teenagecancertrust.org.

Noel Gallagher: I Want To Play Tender With Blur

Noel Gallagher is curating next year's Teenage Cancer Trust shows at the Royal Albert Hall and has told Xfm we might see him on stage with former Britpop rivals Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon from Blur.

It's the first time anyone other than Roger Daultrey has looked after the line-up for the annual charity event - for which Xfm is once again the exclusive radio partner.

Kasabian, Primal Scream and Ryan Adams have all been chosen by the former Oasis man for the series of shows next March but most notably - Noel himself is playing March 23 with Damon and Graham also on the bill for the same night.

Speaking to Xfm's Dan O'Connell Noel explained that he was after Oasis' former enemies Blur for the bill.

"They were one of the first people that I asked - if Blur could do it - because Damon had always said that he'd like to do it, they've tried to get Gorillaz once or twice but could never quite make it work. It was a shame Blur couldn't do it.

He continued, "I dunno how they're gonna do it... I think Damon plays piano and Graham plays guitar and they'll do a load of Blur songs and everyone has a great night.

"I wouldn't be adverse to getting up with them and playing Tender though - that being one of my favourite Blur songs."
It's something you wouldn't have imagined possible 15 years ago - something Noel acknowledged.

"What would I have said in '97? There would have been swear words involved. Definitely," he told Dan.

"We're all older now. I've been on tour with Graham recently and I've met Damon recently... we're all old dudes from the past."

Another Review: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds In Nottingham

There are some things that just work unquestionably well together – fish and chips, Morecambe and Wise, Marmite on toast and that other quintessential British duo the Gallagher Brothers.

When Oasis split three years ago nobody knew what to expect, little brother Liam had clearly got his eye on being the bigger, better success and letting everybody know about it, and yet Noel quietly confident since the split seems to be creeping out of his younger, louder brothers shadow. With his band Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds forming in the wake of Liam’s band, Beady Eye, it’s now Noel’s turn to let the songs do the talking.

Settling into our seats amongst a sea of Gallagher style sideburns, mums, dads and teenagers the crowd were a mixed bag to say the least. Graham Coxon opened for Noel, yes he of the famous Blur, the band that were famously at loggerheads with Oasis for the majority of the mid-90s. Graham standing awkwardly played a great opening set of spiky, energetic songs.

It would be fair to say that the hatchet is now well and truly buried and all is forgiven as Graham dedicated the song You and I to Mr Gallagher.

Then along came Noel after being in one of the biggest bands in the world, the man had more than a little to prove, yet he commanded the stage like the seasoned pro that he is.

Old songs and new songs worked seamlessly alongside one another throughout the carefully chosen set list. Beginning with Whatever B-side, (It's Good) To Be Free, Noel’s voice was surprisingly as strong and clear as on any of his recorded material.

From there he dived into the opening three songs of his solo album. Confident throughout and amusingly charming in only a way a Gallagher brother can be, at one point heckling a ‘a f****** fat skinhead’ in the crowd, the Crouch End ladies choir who joined him for backing vocals on stage may have blushed a little at such profanities but ever the gentleman, Noel did apologise to them after each curse.

The atmosphere was indescribable, as Noel led the crowd through singsongs of classics such as Don’t Look Back in Anger, and an acoustic Supersonic. Stand out songs and a personal favourite was the Oasis ballad Talk Tonight, whilst I was also pleasantly surprised to hear D’yer Wanna Be A Spaceman? which is rarely heard live. The newer solo stuff was unmistakably ‘Solo Noel’ with If I had a Gun and AKA…What A Life sounding fresh and original alongside the Oasis nostalgia.

This years NME Awards saw Noel Gallagher being declared a ‘Godlike Genius’, after this gig I surprisingly find myself agreeing with NME. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds showed great musicianship, and proclaimed Noel as a talented solo artist, and songwriter with equally impressive vocals. I don’t think anybody can write-off this Gallagher Brother quite yet, and with undoubtedly more to come, little brother Liam certainly has a hard act to follow.

Review: Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds In Cardiff

Who says Blur v Oasis was the British music story of the ’90s? Fast-forward two decades and two of Britpop’s foremost faces are once again the talk of the town.

A spiky, grungy set from former Blur guitarist Graham Coxon loosened up a testosterone-fuelled crowd, showing how British rock’s elder statesmen still set the bar for the young pretenders some two decades on.

From the moment a black-clad Noel Gallagher emerged there was nothing but unadulterated adulation. Typically stylish yet unassuming, an understated (It’s Good) To Be Free led the way before a huge and harmonious Everybody’s On The Run – stoked by the sonorous backing chorus – saw the arena erupt. The balconies went mad as Gallagher pinged and prodded their adrenal glands, briefly slackening the pace before a beautiful, bare version of Supersonic with a tender piano.

An adoring crowd resorted to boos when the Burnage boy dedicated AKA... What A Life! to “Manchester City fans everywhere, the nicest people in the world” but they were cheering his name again by the track’s denouement.

It felt like a single-fingered salute to crowd-pleasing platitudes – this is a man who has earned the right to gig how he wants, swaggering around with his trademark scarlet guitar slung across a snappy leather jacket.

Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks went off like a rocket before Gallagher asked his audience to augment a melodic Half The World Away – in truth, they needed no encouragement. After 70 minutes of relentless excellence he and his menagerie of musical maestros sloped off the stage before a four-song encore building to the climax everyone wanted.

A rowdy, reminiscing Whatever tugged at the memories of yesteryear before a punchy Little By Little brought everything back the more recent side of this millennium.

And then, as Gallagher himself pronounced, it was “that time”. As he launched in to Don’t Look Back In Anger 10,000 arms poked skywards in unison, a shared ecstasy spilling throughout the auditorium.

The ’90s may be long gone, but Noel Gallagher’s appeal burns brighter than ever
