Gallery: Noel Gallagher At Winter Wonderland

With a first name like Noel, there's a good chance Christmas is a fun time for the rock star.

And Mr. Gallagher certainly enjoyed a jingle bell rock with his family in Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland.

The 45-year old rocker took his son Donovan, 5, along with his partner Sara MacDonald to the launch of the London attraction.

They chose a colourful attraction that the little one couldn't be more excited to ride, and his father seemed just as eager.

Other famous faces enjoying the new Christmas park were Rod Stewart and Nell McAndrews.

The Sailing singer brought his wife Penny Lancaster, 41 and his two kids - one-year old Aiden and six-year old Alastair.

It's not known whether Noel bumped into any of the other celebrities but Penny certainly crossed paths with Nell as they both took their sons on the helter skelter.
It's hard to place Noel's recent comments on drug use with this picture of familial bliss.

For whilst the Gallagher clan enjoyed some traditional Christmas merriment, he told Alan Carr on his pre-recorded Catty Man TV show that he wouldn't mind his kids using narcotics 'in moderation.'

He sparked a flurry of Twitter chat with people weighing in on his progressive comments.

And he was met with criticism by users such as Fleetstreetfox who tweeted her article with the comment, 'Noel Gallagher - not the sharpest tool in the box. Probably all those drugs'.

But the thick-skinned rocker would hardly let a tweet like that ruin his festive fun.

Check out the pictures here.

Noel Gallagher's Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Oasis legend Noel Gallagher showed his softer side by taking son Donovan to a new Winter Wonderland attraction.

The Wonderwall songwriter, 45, enjoyed playing Daddy with partner Sara MacDonald at the launch in Hyde Park, London.

Also having fun were rocker Rod Stewart, 67, wife Penny Lancaster, 41, and their brood.

The couple’s two sons Alastair, six, and one-year-old Aiden got stuck into the festive activities. Penny and Aiden had a whale of a time on the helter skelter, while Nell McAndrew also went along for the ride with son Devon, six.

Other famous faces at the event included X Factor stars James Arthur, 24, Christopher Maloney, 34, and boy band Union J.

Model Kate Price, 34, and her daughter Princess Tiaamii, five, were also there.

Winter Wonderland will be open until January 13 and the attractions include a “Magical Ice Kingdom” of sculptures, a circus, ice rink, rides and a chance to visit Santa.

Noel Gallagher Refuses To Take Driving Test

This makes me feel slightly better about being a remedial driver.

The 45-year-old rocker - who has sons Donovan, five, and Sonny, two, with wife Sara MacDonald, as well as 12-year-old daughter Anais with former spouse Meg Matthews - is being forced to take lessons by his spouse, but is so determined not to legally be allowed behind the wheel, he says he will deliberately fail if he ever sits his driving test.

He said: "My lovely wife is insisting I take driving lessons. She said, 'Who is going to take the boys to the football?' And I am like, 'Well you are.' But I have sussed it, you see. If I ever qualify for a test I will deliberately fail. I would rather be in the passenger seat. I would crash a lot of cars. I have had 40-odd years looking out the window."

The former Oasis guitarist also admitted his rock 'n' roll lifestyle means he isn't too keen on his sons reaching their teens but he won't advise them to stay away from smoking and drugs completely - so long as they remember one thing... Spouting his nuggets on Alan Carr: Chatty Man tonight (10.00pm, Channel 4), he said: "I am dreading them in their teens. My attitude is everything in moderation, but I have told them, 'You will never be as cool as your dad'." Ah, every teenager's red rag. While you're at it, tell them they'll never amount to anything and watch the megalomania set in.

As it happens, Noel's partying days appear to be behind him, what with the rough heads he gets nowadays: "I find hangovers dreadful now. Terrible. It's called age. I usually wake up still drunk and when I go out to get the papers I wonder which way the traffic is going (no wonder he doesn't want to drive). The longest bender I have been on? I went three days without sleep once and ended up in hospital but that was a good party."

I won't tell you the longest stint I've stayed up, it's not advisable. The one nugget I will dispense, however, is the following. Learn to drive before you get pregnant, Noel. Baby brain is a b*tch. That and lessons aren't that productive when you mount a pavement trying to move the car out of your estate, not once but twice, and then you end up crying for two hours 'cause there's no way you'll ever be able to drive the baby anywhere in an emergency.

The video below is from November 23rd 2008, when Liam and Noel Gallagher carried their friend Ricky Hatton's belts into the ring before his win against Paulie Malignaggi in Las Vegas.

After Hatton's win Noel congratulated his friend by planting a kiss on him.

Hatton had previously said that, "When I think of the most important things in my life, there's my family first and Campbell my son, then I've got boxing, next comes Manchester City, then it's Oasis."

Read our interview with Ricky Hatton that was posted in 2009 here, it includes a number of personal pictures of him with the Gallagher's.

Noel Gallagher: You Won't Be Cool Like Me

Noel Gallagher isn’t a man to mince his words, even when his own kids are concerned.

The outspoken fella has told his sons Donovan, five, and Sonny, two, they’ll never be cool rock ’n’ roll stars like him.

Chatting about being a dad, Noel, 45, said: “I have a mug which says Greatest Dad in the World, so I must be pretty good. My wife says I am f***ing useless, so I guess I am somewhere in the middle.

“I am dreading them in their teens though. My attitude is everything in moderation, but I have told them: ‘You will never be as cool as your dad.’”

Although he did reveal that Donovan likes listening to acid house and Dizzee Rascal before bed. Sounds pretty cool for a five-year-old.

Meanwhile, Noel admits his mum is desperate for him and brother/nemesis Liam to call a truce.

He tells Alan Carr on tonight’s Chatty Man: “Me and Liam have not spoken. I’m busy. We did text each other last Christmas because our mam made us.

“We are not a Christmas family. I hate Christmas. I am not a people person. Christmas and people wearing hats ... nah.

“I did smash his guitar. yes. I put my foot through his guitar and then he threw it at me.” He also admits Liam, 40, decided to call their band Oasis and he was never a fan of the name.

Noel sniped: “He came up with the name. I was not arsed.

“It’s a s*** name for a band anyway.”

Oasis fans are holding out for a reunion, especially as their 20th anniversary will be in 2014.

But it seems unlikely.

Dashing the hearts of fans everywhere Noel revealed: “It would take Liam or myself to be very skint and I know that is not going to happen.

‘The last time I saw Liam he didn’t say much. The day will pass and people will realise the anniversary just has not happened.”
