Daltry, " I Think It's Fantastic That Noel's Doing The Show On His Own With An Orchestra"

The Who will perform on Saturday, March 31st, at London's Royal Albert Hall for the for the last of the three Teenage Cancer Trust (TNC) benefit concerts. The charity shows, which are organized by frontman Roger Daltrey, are celebrating their seventh year at the Albert Hall.

Prior to the shows, Daltrey said that he was proud to have Oasis' Noel Gallagher perform acoustically with an orchestra for two of the shows: "My son was a huge fan, so I was exposed to all of their records. I think it's fantastic that Noel's doing the show on his own with an orchestra. I think it's a really good thing to do at the Albert Hall. It sold out -- I mean it crashed all the computers. The whole Teenage Cancer Trust Week sold out so fast, every ticket outlet computer crashed. So the whole thing is sold out. The whole thing has gone on. (I'm) very thankful for that."

The Who first performed at the first TNC benefit in 2000. In 2003 the Who released their Live At The Royal Albert Hall album, which featured tracks from their 2000 and 2002 TNC appearances.

Over the years the benefit has included performances by Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Oasis, Madness and the Cure.

The Who, who wrapped up their U.S. on Monday in Florida, have a six-week break before kicking off their final European leg on May 16th in Lisbon, Portugal.

For the final dates of the band's U.S. shows, the Who dropped their latest mini-opera from their Endless Wire album, titled Wire And Glass. The band replaced the songs with '60s fan favorites "Substitute," "The Kids Are Alright," and "Naked Eye," all of which have been absent from the band's recent setlists.

Paul Weller Spits On Sting

The Modfather gobs on The Police star

Paul Weller spat on a portrait of Sting on Wednesday (March 28) at the Teenage Cancer Trust gig.

As previously reported Weller joined Noel Gallagher at the charity event for a version of The Jam's 'The Butterfly Collector' and The Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love'.

According to The Mirror, during the interval of the event at London's Royal Albert Hall Weller saw a picture of Sting's gig from 2000 and decided to deliver his own style of music criticism.

According to the report, Weller "marched straight up to it [the photo], coughed-up as much phlegm as he could muster and planted it plum in the middle of The Police frontman's head... as he walked away, Weller then snarled: 'Fucking twat!'".

Weller has never shy of expressing his opinions of Sting, recently stating: "He's a f**king horrible man. Not my cup of tea at all. Fucking rubbish. No edge, no attitude, no nothing."

X-clusive: Kasabian On Glastonbury And Bloc Party vs Oasis

On the eve of their gig at the Royal Albert Hall, one of a series of concerts in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, Kasabian spoke exclusively to Xfm about Glastonbury, new material, and that Oasis vs Bloc Party feud.

The concerts were part of a week long series of gigs, taking place at the Royal Albert Hall to raise money and awareness for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Turning first to festival plans for the summer frontman Tom Meighan finally confirmed all those Glastonbury rumours and revealed they'll be playing on the Pyramid Stage,

"Yeah well I can't wait", Tom enthused, "That's gonna be monumental. Yeah Glastonbury is wonderful. Its good to be playing it. It's gonna be fantastic, they've got some amazing bands, Monkeys, Killers, its gonna be fantastic. Yeah, its gonna be really good."

And following the recent war of words between Bloc Party and Kasabian's bosom buddies Oasis (Liam Gallagher called Bloc Party a 'University Challenge' band, they retorted that Oasis are 'over-rated' and 'made stupidity hip'), Tom was uncharacteristically keeping his opinions tight to his chest, happy to let the Gallagher brothers handle this particular battle themselves.

"Silly innit?", He explained, "You know what i mean? It all gets a little bit out of hand. I'm learning to grow up, trying to grow up and not comment on this.

"Let them go to war on it", he continued, "I'm sure Liam will have something to say about them anyway, i know he will. Its all good fun. I'm not saying anything [laughs]. You wait, it will be a while. I'll think of something soon. Its all fun."

Turning next to plans for a third Kasabian album Tom divulged that it'll be a good few months until they start recording anything new,

"I reckon we're gonna be going into the studio after all the summer dies down, all the fesivals." Tom explained, "I reckon about October, November. We're just gonna go in there and try and make a better record than 'Empire', thats all we can do. As long as we're happy with it, that's the main thing."

Noel In A Pickle Over A Name

Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher may inflict a wacky celebrity name on his first child with long-term girlfriend Sara MacDonald.

He said: "Chutney is one I fancy, if it's a geezer. Gizmo Gallagher or Gilly Gallagher.

"If it's a girl, Sarah's already got the names picked out."

Speaking to Manchester radio station Xfm, he added: "But you know, suffice to say it's gonna be legendary."

We wouldn't expect anything less...

Noel" Can I Play Glasto Please"

This week will see Noel Gallagher play his biggest ever solo gigs as he takes to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall in London for two shows in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.

With support coming from The View and The Coral, the dates sold out in seconds - not bad for someone who is supposed to be "taking time off".

Having begun his acoustic run last year playing a charity show at KOKO for pal Russell Brand, Noel ended up performing shows across the globe last winter supporting 'Stop The Clocks'.

However Oasis' leader has now asked us to help get him another gig - a slol slot at Glastonbury.

"Playing the acoustic stuff at the festivals, that would be good," admitted Noel, before making a direct appeal through NME to play the Somerset bash.

"Actually, Glastonbury Acoustic tent sounds nice! That would be good," he declared. "Yeah, do us a favour stick that in and Mr Eavis will give me a call!"

The guitarist did, however, joke that if his last-minute request is successful, he could find himself playing against all the bands he wants to check out this year.

"Saying that, he'd probably put me on at the same time as Arctic Monkeys," mused Noel. "The best slot is second on the bill on the other stage. I've never had that slot at Glastonbury, but we've done it at foreign festivals and it's great."



Also in the magazine in the NME gig guide, Noel's show at the Manchester News Arena was Pick Of The Week.


Pick Of The Week

A whole gaggle of legends including Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, Ian Brown, The Charlatans, Peter Hook and Echo & The Bunnymen will turn to support Andy Rourke's cancer awarness event.

A line-up worthy of the course.

Hands Off My Mum, Russell

Brand Plans Stay With Gallagher

Russel Brand is set for a weekend break at the home of Liam Gallagher's mum up in Burnage.

But the Oasis frontman has made the promiscuous one promise to be on his very best behaviour.

The funny fella, 31, hosted the Teenage Cancer Trust Comedy Night at London's Royal Albert Hall, alongside comedian Noel Fielding, 33.

During randy Russel's solo stint on stage, he told how he had initislly been "terrified" when he'd first met Liam, 34, at last months Brit Awards, but was flattered to hear the Gallagher mum Peggy is a huge fan of his.

But things have developed since Russell became close pals with Liam's older brother Noel, 39.

An insider said: "Russell is good mates with Noel and said as soon as he gets the chance he'll go up to Peggy's house in Manchester for the weekend.

"But in a really sweet, protective way. Liam growled a bit and stressed he is over-protective when it comes to his mum.

"Like most sons, Liam made a point of how close he is to Irish Peggy and all his family."

"Russel loves parents and wants Peggy to give him a tour of where the Gallaghers grew up - and will give a exclusive performance for her and the Gallagher clan in return."

Noel: Bring Back The Noose

Rock superstar Noel Gallagher wants to run for Prime Minister – and bring back hanging.

The Oasis guitarist yesterday vowed to reinstate the death penalty if he were to get the keys to 10 Downing Street.

Noel, 39, said: “I might stand for election myself, to be honest.

“I’ve worked this out and I reckon I could sort out the country in a year-and-a-half.

“I’d definitely bring back hanging – that’s for starters.

“All these violent offenders – you get convicted three times by three separate juries then you’re going to the gallows.”

But he said that he would show some mercy.

He added: “If by any off-chance some evidence comes up that you might have been innocent and could prove it beyond reasonable doubt, then your next of kin gets £500,000. Vote for me.”

And he said he could succeed on public transport where Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, 68, had failed miserably.

He said: “The streets would be a lot safer and I could sort public transport out – half a year, that would take.”

The Labour Party supporter said Gordon Brown, 56, would not get his vote.

Noel said: “The last three times I voted I believed. I believed in it.

“But I don’t believe in The Left or The Right or The Middle anymore because they all pretty much say the same thing.”

Noel also told Radio 1’s Newsbeat he was desperate for girlfriend Sara MacDonald, 31, to give birth a few weeks before the September due date.

“We are trying to hurry it up so it doesn’t come out the same star sign as Liam. One of them is enough in our family.”

Liam, 34, was born on September 21 under the sign of Virgo.

Reeves Challenged To Arm Wrestle By Gallagher

British comedian Vic Reeves was once left shocked when Liam Gallagher challenged him to an arm wrestle because the Oasis wildman thought he was posh.

Reeves and his comic partner Bob Mortimer were sat in a hotel at the time, when the Wonderwall singer approached.

He recalls, "Liam Gallagher had a go once.

I was sitting with Bob in a hotel after some awards ceremony - the Brits, I think. "Liam came over and said, 'You two are upper class. You've had everything laid on a plate. I'm working class and I've had to work to get where I am.' "Then he said we should arm wrestle to sort it out. I won."

Noel Gallagher "Caner Of The Year Will Be Staying With Me"

Bizarre’s Caner Of The Year Noel Gallagher has vowed that his 40th birthday bash will be “bigger and better” than Elton John's 60th.

The Oasis star turns 40 in May and is planning the mother of all parties to celebrate.

Noel invited me in to his dressing room after his triumphant Royal Albert Hall gig on Tuesday, and proved he’s in with a strong chance of winning my 2007 Caner gong.

The boozy singer had a huge grin as he partied with Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno, Modfather Paul Weller, Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie and Mani and Hollywood star Jude Law — there with son Rafferty — following the star-studded gig in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.

Talking of Elt’s do at the weekend Noel told me: “F*** Elton John.

“My 40th birthday party is gonna be bigger and better than his — he hasn’t seen nothing. Mine’s gonna be the dog’s b*******!”

Despite impending fatherhood, Noel says he plans to carry on partying hard until the baby is born — just so he can win my Caner award again. He said: “I’m ’avin’ it — it’s mine.” Noel also revealed he WON’T be playing at Glastonbury this year — but plans to go there to party with new best pal Serge.

He said: “I’ll be ’avin it large with Serge in a caravan at Glastonbury.”

Noel partied with Serge, pregnant missus SARA MacDONALD and the Bizarre team until the early hours at various drinking dens including the Groucho club and the grungy Gerry’s bar.

Noel On Forthcoming Oasis Album And His Solo Gigs

Following two triumphant sets at the Royal Albert Hall for this year's Teenage Cancer Trust concerts, Noel Gallagher spoke with Xfm about the events and the forthcoming Oasis album.

The concerts on Monday and Tuesday opened a week of Teenage Cancer Trust gigs, and saw Noel - joined by Paul Weller – play covers of The Jam's 'The Butterfly Collector' and The Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love’ and ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’, during which Noel seemed to forget the words.

“No it wasn’t that, it was Gem”, he laughed, “Gem made an absolute howler on the guitar and I couldn’t contain the laughter. When we’re on tour with Oasis if he plays one wrong note he beats himself up about it for ages. But to do one last night when it’s kinda so prominent.

“I just found that really amusing, cos I know that he would’ve gone home and locked himself in a darkened room, going ‘Oh fuck’. That’s why I started laughing. And on that song! We weren’t even going to do it, and it was kinda like, ‘Oh go on then, so we’ll go on and do it’. We should’ve quit while we were ahead, but I don’t think it spoiled the evening.”

And going on to explain why he initially called the event organisers up himself and offered to play two nights in a row Noel told us,

“They came asking a couple of years ago and we were on the road and we couldn’t’ do it cos we were in Thailand or somewhere like that. And I said, ‘The next time we’re available, we’ll do it’. But of course Zak [Starkey – Oasis drummer] went off and played with The Who, so Roger [Daltry] didn’t think we were available. So I said, ‘Well look, I’ll do it’, and they were like, ‘What really? Oh wow! Oh, alright then’. So that’s how that came about. I don’t want anybody to think I sit by the phone going, ‘Roger, let us play the Albert Hall…”

Turning next to news from the Oasis camp Noel divulged that most of the new material for what will be their seventh studio album has already being written – though he has other things on his mind.

"Oasis land is very quiet at the moment, there’s not a great deal going on. But a lot of the preparation for the next record has already been done. Because we wrote 60 odd songs for the last one, and out of that we used obviously eleven of for ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’. Then a lot of them, listening back to them, weren’t very good really, but there were eleven that we thought were really good.

“And out of that eleven we thought seven were really good. Out of that seven, that’s now gone up to eight, so we now think eight’s really good.

“So that’s virtually an album recorded, so there won’t be a great deal of work to do once we start, but as my lovely missus is making a baby that kinda puts most of this year out I would’ve thought.

Could Bonehead Be Joining Noel On Stage In Manchester?

The Versus Cancer show on Friday takes place in Manchester this week. And is featuring Noel Gallagher (semi acoustic set), Paul Weller, Ian Brown, The Charlatans, Echo and the Bunnymen, Andy Rourke, Peter Hook, Mani, Steve White, Bernard Butler, David McAlmont, Denise Johnson and The Electric Milk Band, Andy Rourke, Peter Hook, from New Order, Mani of Primal Scream and the Stone Roses, Bernard Butler and David McAlmont, from McAlmont and Butler, Primal Scream vocalist Denise Johnson.

Also amazingly on the bill is former Oasis member Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs with his new band.

Arthurs left the band in 1999, during the recording of Oasis' fourth album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. In his official statement he claimed he wanted to spend more time with his family (his first son, Jude Arthurs - named after the Beatles' song Hey Jude - and was born August 12, 1997).

However, Noel Gallagher claims Arthurs left for after a drunken row with Noel regarding a drink and drugs ban set by the band during recording. Noel had intended to ease the recording process by keeping Liam sober, and to make it fair, he insisted the rest of the band do likewise.

Noel is also godfather to the Arthurs' first child, Lucy Arthurs and sometimes claims to have written Don't Go Away at Arthurs' request, for Arthurs' mother, Delia, who was dying of cancer at the time.

Could he be about to join Noel during his set or vice versa? With Don't Go Away being added to Noel's acoustic set now would be the perfect time.

Could we be saying them back on stage together for the first time in years?

Block Party's Okereke: 'Oasis Are Over-Rated'

Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke has branded rockers Oasis as "over-rated" and claims the band have "made stupidity hip".

The So Here We Are star has hit back at the Manchester group after Noel Gallagher made disparaging comments about Bloc Party earlier this year (07), comparing the band to geeky contestants on UK TV quiz show, University Challenge.

He says, "I think Oasis are the most over-rated and pernicious and of all time. They had a totally negative and dangerous impact upon the state of British music. "They have made stupidity hip.

They claim to be inspired by the Beatles but, and this saddens me, they have failed to grasp that the Beatles were about constant change and evolution."

Noel Gallagher Says His New Baby Is "What The World Has Been Waiting For"

The baby hasn't even been born yet, but Noel Gallagher already thinks his child is going to take over the world so "help you all!"

Noel says his new baby will be "gorgeous" and a "genius."

The Oasis guitarist is expecting his first child with long-term girlfriend Sara MacDonald, who he has been dating for seven years, and is convinced the tot will be the perfect mix of both of them.

He told Virgin Radio: "Another addition to the Gallagher family is what the world has been waiting for. I'm looking forward to seeing a direct cross between me and my Mrs. because she is gorgeous and I'm a genius - f**ing god help you all!"

On Monday night Noel dedicated a song to Sara at his Teenage Cancer Trust charity concert, which was broadcast by the British radio station. The Oasis guitarist spoke affectionately about the sexy brunette, who is four months pregnant, before introducing classic Oasis song "Slide Away."

He said: "I'd like to dedicate this next song to my lovely Mrs, Sara."

The couple's baby will be Sara's first child. Noel already has a seven-year-old daughter, Anais, with ex-wife Meg Matthews.

Noel Gallagher: 'Can I Play Glasto Please?'

Oasis' leader uses NME.COM to ask for a slot this year

Oasis leader Noel Gallagher has asked NME to help get him another gig: a solo slot at Glastonbury.

The star, currently playing a host of solo shows, is so anxious to play the bash he has headlined twice with his band (in 1995 and 2004) that he's put in a request to organiser Michael Eavis via us.

"Playing the acoustic stuff at the festivals, that would be good," admitted Gallagher. "Actually, Glastonbury acoustic tent sounds nice! That would be good. Yeah, do us a favour stick that in and Mr Eavis will give me a call!"

Although the guitarist joked that if his last minute request is successful, he could end-up playing against all the bands he wants to check out this year.

"Saying that he'd probably put me on at the same time as Arctic Monkeys," mused Gallagher. "The best slot is second on the bill on the Other Stage. I've never had that slot at Glastonbury, but we've done it at foreign festivals and it's great."

Noel Gallagher

Oasis are not a group noted for charitable works. They were one of the few acts who declined to play at Live 8 and, as Noel Gallagher explained to the audience on Monday night, when he asked his brother Liam if he would like to join him at the Albert Hall to perform on behalf of the Teenage Cancer Trust, the answer he got was “a sentence which included the words ‘f***’ and ‘charity’.”

Fortunately, Noel not only takes a more benevolent view, but had also persuaded Oasis colleague Gem Archer and percussionist Terry Kirkbride, to join him on an “unplugged-style” voyage around the more thoughtful regions of the Oasis repertoire.

With Archer alternating between electric guitar and keyboard, and Kirkbride stationed behind the suggestion of a drum kit, the 39-year-old Britpop icon sat centre stage, leaning over a Gibson acoustic guitar, and singing with an air of intense, almost pained concentration. He didn’t open his eyes until halfway through the second number, Talk Tonight, which, like all the others, was taken at a steady, mid-tempo stroll and graced with a tune that defied you not to sing along, if only in your head. By the time he followed it with Fade Away, much of the audience actually were singing along out loud, and as the show progressed, it was uncanny to observe how little Gallagher did to sell his songs, and yet how great was the corresponding effect. Armed with a remedial strumming technique, a handful of basic chords and a voice that only occasionally gets to take the lead when his brother is around, Gallagher commanded a degree of attention and affection that was out of all proportion to the apparent effort he put in to winning either.

With his craggy features magnified to huge proportions on the screen behind the stage, there was an unlikely sense of intimacy, despite the grand surroundings, as he navigated the soaring choruses of Cast No Shadow and Half the World Away and skated over the catchy falsetto vocal line of The Importance of Being Idle.

Paul Weller arrived in a slim, spiky swirl, raising the energy level just by walking on. With Gallagher in a supporting role, Weller knocked off a magnificent version of The Butterfly Collector followed by a good natured swing through the Beatles’ All You Need is Love. Gallagher was then joined by an eight-woman string section, and the furrowed brow returned for a string of romantic odes full of bittersweet masculine emotion including surprisingly moving versions of Wonderwall and Slide Away which he dedicated to “My lovely missus, Sara”.

The encores produced a plaintive reworking of the Smiths’ song There is a Light that Never Goes Out, a massively crowd-assisted Don’t Look Back in Anger and a rather dishevelled Strawberry Fields Forever, during which Gallagher burst out laughing – a fitting end to a show with do-good and feelgood factors both slotted firmly into place.

Noel Doesn't Want Baby To Have Same Star Sign As Liam

The fighting Gallagher brothers are at it again, and we can't say we're surprised. This time, it's Noel slagging off his younger brother Liam saying that he is going to pay to have his baby with Sara MacDonald born early just so that it doesn't have the same star sign as Liam.

This latest comment comes after Liam decided not to turn up at the Royal Albert Hall for the Teenage Cancer Trust gig in London last night. Noel told those in attendance “Unfortunately Liam isn’t here tonight."

When asked why Liam didn't show up, Noel didn't have much of a clue, stating:

“I don’t know why. I asked him and when he replied all I heard was fuck and charity in the same sentence.”

It looks like Liam won't be babysitting for brother Noel anytime in the forseeable future. Perhaps they should start looking for a suitable sitter or nanny; its never too early to run a background check nanny and start looking.

In other baby news, Noel spoke to a radio show last night and says he can't wait to see the new baby:

"I’m looking forward to seeing a direct cross between me and my missus because she is gorgeous and I’m a genius — God help ya.”

Noel Gallagher Dedicates Slide Away To Pregnant Girlfriend

Noel played a solo set for charity at the Royal Albert Hall last night

Noel Gallagher dedicated a song to his pregnant girlfriend at his Teenage Cancer Trust charity concert last night (26.03.07).

The Oasis guitarist spoke affectionately about long-term love Sara MacDonald, who is four months pregnant, before introducing classic song Slide Away.

He said: "I'd like to dedicate this next song to my lovely Mrs, Sara."

Earlier in the evening, Noel was joined by friend Paul Weller at the special acoustic show at London's famous Royal Albert Hall.

Noel - who has performed at the annual fundraising concert on a number of occasions - said: "So, as it's the Teenage Cancer Trust and as it's the Albert Hall, I'd like to introduce, somewhat predictably, Paul Weller."

The pair, accompanied by Oasis guitarist Gem Archer and percussionist Terry Kirkbride, then launched into a version of The Jam's Butterfly Collector, to the delight of the sell-out crowd, followed by a cover of The Beatles' classic All You Need Is Love.

Noel opened his show with a selection of Oasis B-sides, including (It's Good) To Be Free and Fade Away, which was included on the 1994 hit single Cigarettes and Alcohol.

The musician was joined for the second-half of the show by an all-female string orchestra. He then treated fans to a version of the rarely played Don't Go Away, taken from Oasis' third album Be Here Now.

Noel was in good spirits and joked with the crowd throughout the night.

Before playing Wonderwall, he responded to chants for his brother Liam, by saying: "Unfortunately Liam can't be here tonight. I did ask him to come down but the words f**k and charity followed in the same sentence."

He closed the show with a cover of The Smiths song There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, Don't Look Back in Anger and Married With Children.

As the crowd started to make their way out, Noel surprisingly strolled back on stage to cover The Beatles' Strawberry Fields.

Scottish rockers The View and Liverpool band Shack both provided support on the night.
