Is Noel Gallagher Planning On Taking Two Years Off?

Noel Gallagher is planning two years off when he finishes touring with his High Flying Birds, on his wife’s orders.

The musician said that wife Sara wants him to have time at home to be with their children after what will have been a year on the road.

Noel also revealed that he has softened his war with brother Liam.

The pair now communicate through their peacemaker mum Peggy and Noel is back on speaking terms with ex-Oasis bandmate Gem Archer.

Noel, 44, said: “It’s a happy camp at the moment because the record has been really well received. It is selling like hot cakes in England.“We can’t get rid of them fast enough. I did not expect it.

“I’m going to tour the a*** out of it until the wheels fall off. Then I’m going to indulge my wife for a year or two.”

The band will be at this summer’s festivals across Europe before Noel’s break.

Arctic Monkeys: 'We Pretended To Be Oasis In School'

Alex Turner has revealed that he and Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders once dressed up and pretended to be Oasis during school assembly.

In a new interview with US website Pitchfork, Turner reveals that he and Helders performed in front of his primary school, using a tennis racket in place of a guitar.

"So me and Matt and some of our friends put on 'Morning Glory' – we 'played' some tennis racquets and pretended to be Oasis," says Turner. "Matt was Liam Gallagher, he had the bucket hat on. I was the bass player."

He also adds that the performance wasn't as well received as a rival performance by a group of girls pretending to be the Spice Girls, adding: "We were just standing there, doing what Oasis did onstage," he said. "Which was not a great deal. I don't think we got as good a reaction as the Spice Girls."

Alex Turner also names Oasis's 1995 album '(What's The Story) Morning Glory' as one of the records that influenced him as a teenager to pursue a career in music.

"With Oasis, it's just that attitude, like it's resistant against everything else that's going on in music," he says. "I don't know if you can fully understand that - it's like an impulse, innit? Especially at that age, you don't rationalize, you're just like, 'That looks cool.'

"And I feel like that's the ****ing way it should be now, in a way. Guitar music or rock'n'roll or whatever you want to call it sort of goes away with trends, but it'll never go away completely. It can't die because it's so fundamentally attractive."

5-Star Noel Gallagher Told Maroon Where To Go

Noel Gallagher tells a great story about a night in LA when Oasis were recording Dig Out Your Soul.

A musician kept pestering him in a restaurant, saying he was a huge fan. Eventually, Noel told the guy where to go.

The band then went a party in LA. But the same bloke came over and got the same treatment.

Then he reminded them the party was in HIS house.

I met Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine in LA last month and he explained: “That was Mickey Madden from our band. Noel met him and came back to the house and didn’t even know he was in the band.

“Then one of the Gallaghers talked s*** about it.”

Noel Gallagher: 'I Cried Like A Baby When Man City Won The Premier League'

Noel Gallagher has opened up about his reaction to his beloved Manchester City winning the Premier League title yesterday (May 13), revealing he "cried like a baby".

The club won the title with two last-gasp goals in a 3-2 win over Queens Park Rangers and pipped their great rivals Manchester United to the prize. Gallagher, whose brother Liam was at the game, revealed he saw it all happen from a bar in Santiago, Chile.

Speaking to the BBC, Gallagher described his feelings when his team went from being 1-0 up to 2-1 down, a scoreline which held right up until the dying minutes.

He said: "We arrived in Santiago and a friend of ours opened his bar early so we could watch it. It started off tense, then it went from tense into elation and then back to tension. It seemed like QPR were in the lead for a lifetime and it was very dark."

He then spoke about his elation when City striker Edin Dzeko equalised, adding: "Right before we scored, I thought 'We need it now, if we're going to do it, we need to do it now'. And then when Dzeko scored, I don't know what happened after that, there was a lot of swearing."

Then asked how he reacted when Sergio Aguero won the game and title for his team, Gallagher said: "My mate tried to pull the TV off the wall. I swore a lot and then I cried like a baby because I've never seen anything like that before. It was mindblowing."

Noel Gallagher's Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere (Vol.2) Part Fifty Seven

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.

Yes comrades . . . so Lima? (that's in Peru by the way)

It's also the place where I wrote that song of mine called "If I Had A Gun".

Nice place. Foggy. Stinks of dead fish!! Got a little bit wasted the first night on that drink "pisco sour"? The locals say you should only ever have 2 and under no circumstances should one attempt a 3rd. I must admit that did sound like a bit of a challenge at the time and one I would live to regret!! Think I got into double figures. Great night . . . horrific morning. Terrible hangover.

Someone suggested a walk about the following afternoon and as I'd never actually left the hotel last time I was here I thought "fuck it . . . why not?"

It quickly descended into farce with an ever growing mob of kids (fans and that . . . ) following us everywhere. Felt a bit like Jesus (looked a bit like Jesus if the truth be told!!). It was decided we should fuck it off and jib back to the hotel. Someone then mentioned that there was an ancient pyramid nearby so a couple of us set off to find it. I do like a pyramid me . . . mysterious pointy things . . . I love 'em!! Trouble is when we got there it was closed (not like a shop . . . it's a tourist attraction innit!!) but they let us in anyway, only they have us a guide who started to give us a brick by brick account of it's history. I felt the life being sucked out of me as the centuries whizzed by until . . . I just . . . walked off (you know when you just need a lie down?) he's no doubt probably still yakking on about wedges and building techniques!!

Anyway . . . the gig!! The gig was great . . . it was in a football stadium . . . well at least part of a football stadium. I wouldn't say it was the best place I've ever played, but top night all the same. Great crowd . . . loud . . . and lot's of 'em! The night ended with a police escort back to the hotel. Now . . . I've been in a few police escorts in my time but I can safely say I've NEVER been overtaken in one . . . by a bus . . . TWICE!!!!! High speed it was not. Job done though.

Adios Peru. You were slightly unhinged but mega . . . in a scary kind of way.

I am currently in Santiago (that's in Chile by the way). Getting an early night. Got to be up early tomorrow to watch Manchester City. We need one more win and we'll be crowned champions!!!

Gonna be a tense morning . . . .

If god wills it etc . . . .

ONWARDS.

GD.
