Paul Weller: 'Working With Paul McCartney And Noel Gallagher Was The Best Day Of My Life'

Paul Weller has said that his War Child duet with Paul McCartney on Beatles classic Come Together as the best day of his life.

Paul said: "It all kind of came together. The Beatles were a huge influence on me and my career so working with Macca was brilliant. Noel Gallagher got involved too.

Weller said the music legends were a major influence on his music "We rehearsed at Abbey Road. Working with a Beatle in Abbey Road studio was very surreal. I never ever would have dreamt that would happen."

The Stars Come Out For Paul McCartney In London Tonight

The Beatles legend has been swamped with guestlist requests for his gig at London's O2 tonight - and there isn't enough room at the inn.

The famous faces will be out in force, that's Ringo Starr, Madonna, Gary Barlow, Noel Gallagher, Chris Martin, Kate Moss, David and Victoria Beckham, Chris Evans, Dermot O'Leary, David Walliams, Vernon Kay and Tinchy Stryder - not to mention their guests.

Sir Paul's team will have a job keeping the queue at his dressing room door under control with that lot passing by to say well done.

The pop icon told me last week in Cologne, Germany, that 100 tickets normally come his way for big gigs.

But I hear Macca has now reached 600 on his allocation - which includes friends, family, mums from his daughter's school, celebs, musicians and royalty.

A source said: "Macca's gig is the only place to be in town tonight. The O2 will be rammed to the rafters."

In Cologne Macca rolled out Wonderful Christmas Time, his famous festive hit.

Everybody gonna Dance Tonight, as Macca might say.

Elvis Costello 'Noel Gallagher Is Deluded'

Elvis Costello speaking to the Telegraph in a recent interview.

"I think I can do Paul McCartney better than Noel Gallagher can do Paul McCartney, Noel is deluded about a lot of things, most obviously that he is a songwriter at all. That he even brackets himself in the same sentence as Paul is laughable ."

End Of The Road For Johnny

Manc music legend Johnny Roadhouse has passed away, aged 88. The man is responsible for some of the best bands to come out of North-west England.

He was the guy who put a guitar in the hands of almost every rock ’n’ roll band to come out of Manchester.

Johnny owned a famous music store in the city’s Oxford Road and was a pal of Sir Paul McCartney, The Smiths and Oasis.

Ex-Smiths drummer Mike Joyce said: “Every band in Manchester has gone through Johnny Roadhouse’s music store at some stage.”

The saxophonist, who once worked with Elton John, also sorted Oasis’s Noel and Liam Gallagher with their first guitars. As a tribute to Johnny, in 2006 the band featured Johnny’s shop in the vid for track The Masterplan.

Meanwhile, Noel, on tour in South Africa, has paid homage to the role alcohol played in one of his biggest hits.

He said: “Wonderwall is an album by George Harrison so I nicked the title from that, I nicked the chords from somewhere else and a few of the words. I was probably drunk.”

When asked why he went into music he said: “I wanted to be rich.”

He achieved his goal — unlike his beloved Man City, who put me off my Easter eggs on Sunday with a dire game against Fulham...
