Video: Noel Gallagher Presents A Special Icon Award To Jill Furmanovsky

 

Noel Gallagher has made an appearance at the Abbey Road Music Photography Awards to honour "one of my best friends" Jill Furmanovsky with a special icon award.

"She's a very, very dear friend of mine... and it's been an honour to have been associated with her for 30 years," Gallagher said on stage at the event at Abbey Road Studios in London. "I can only say that she is as lovely as she seems, she's one of my best friends, and I adore her."

Speaking to Sky News ahead of the awards, she said her body of work with Oasis is the one she is most proud of.

"I was just the right age to be working with them - I was experienced, I wasn't intimidated. They were so fantastic. It was just a time when they were sort of on a comet, hanging on for dear life, and I felt like I could actually offer something in the way of my experience... they allowed me to be close to them, which was just incredible as a gift."

At the end of the first week of sales, the album had sold a record-breaking 347,000 copies, making it (at the time) the second-fastest-selling album in British history, behind Michael Jackson's Bad.

It entered the UK charts at number 1, it stayed around the top three for the rest of the year before a 6-week stay at the top in mid January, followed by a further three weeks at number 1 in March.
