Roger Daltrey Praises Noel Gallagher's Support For The 'Teenage Cancer Trust'

Noel Gallagher was praised by Roger Daltrey for being such a ''loyal friend and loyal supporter'' of the Teenage Cancer Trust ahead of his concert on Saturday night (28.03.15).

The Who frontman came on stage at the Royal Albert Hall in London before the Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds show to pay tribute to the former Oasis guitarist for always being willing to play for the charity - which aims to improve the treatment of 13 to 24 year olds fighting cancer.

Introducing Noel, Roger - who was joined on stage by several young people helped by the UK organisation - said: ''Coming on soon is a very loyal friend and loyal supporter. He's been involved from the first day, just as Paul Weller has and Kelly Jones. On in a few minutes Noel Gallagher.''

Noel and his band stepped on stage to a rapturous reception from the sell-out crowd and opened with 'Do The Damage'.

The musician's set was packed with tracks from his new number one album 'Chasing Yesterday' and highlights included 'Lock All The Doors', 'The Dying of the Light', 'You Know We Can't Go Back' and 'In the Heat of the Moment'.

Noel was joined on stage by a horn section and the Crouch End Festival Chorus, who accompanied him for several songs including 'Everybody's On The Run', 'If I Had a Gun...' and a stripped down version of Oasis classic 'Champagne Supernova' which prompted a mass sing-along from fans.

Although the set was mainly comprised of solo songs, the rocker did play a handful of tracks by his former band, including fan favourite B-side 'Fade Away' and 'Digsy's Dinner' - from the group's 1994 debut LP 'Definitely Maybe'.

At one point between songs one cheeky admirer approached the stage and asked Noel for his autograph, which prompted the 47-year-old singer to quip: ''Sign your ticket? I'm a bit busy mate at the moment.''

The group exited the stage briefly, whipping the crowd into a frenzied ''Noel, Noel, Noel'' chant before returning for their encore.

The rock superstar sent the audience delirious with a rendition of Oasis classic 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and followed it up with 'AKA... What a Life!' to cheers of delight.
Noel closed the concert with Oasis track 'The Masterplan' to which the crowd sang along with every word.

A number of famous fans were at the gig, including former 'Doctor Who' actor Matt Smith and Queens Park Rangers soccer player Joey Barton - who previously played for Noel's favourite team Manchester City.

Barton took his Twitter account during the show, posting: ''Masterplan... Wow... (sic)''

Review: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds In London

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds played a set which drew heavily from new album 'Chasing Yesterday' at London's Royal Albert Hall last night (March 28) as part of the Teenage Cancer Trust Concert gigs.

After playing Oasis' 'Fade Away' early in the set, Gallagher pointed to the direction of the rest of the set by saying: "It's Saturday night, this is a bit more like it. I'm going to play you some new songs off my fucking brilliant new album."

He then played a trio of new songs: 'In the Heat of the Moment', 'Lock All the Doors' and 'Riverman'. The Royal Albert Hall was completely sold out for the performance, and the crowd were vocal in their support of Gallagher's new music. In response to one fan shouting that he loved him, Gallagher replied: "I love you too. Did you buy an album? Did you buy a t-shirt? Did you buy a programme? Then I love you. And my wife loves you. And my kids definitely love you."

Despite the focus on new material, Gallagher did play a handful of Oasis songs. As well as 'Fade Away', he also performed 'Champagne Supernova', 'Digsy's Dinner', 'Don't Look Back In Anger' and closed with 'The Masterplan'.

Support on the night came from Baltimore synth-pop band Future Islands, who played a short set which featured last year's NME Song Of The Year 'Seasons (Waiting On You)'.

The Who frontman Roger Daltrey, who has raised £20 million from concerts for Teenage Cancer Trust victims over the last 15 years, was on hand to introduce Gallagher and to explain how the money raised by the charity event is spent.

Noel Gallagher On Touring With Oasis

Noel Gallagher learnt good touring practise in Oasis, which he hopes will help him on his upcoming series of shows across the world.

The 47-year-old singer admitted his days touring with his former band have influenced his current gigging practise, as he knows he needs to behave to ensure his live show doesn't suffer.

Speaking to Absolute Radio's Pete Mitchell, he said: "So all the things that we should have avoided doing in Oasis, I can avoid those now and kind of keep all the good bits and try and somehow bring that into what I do.

"It's one of things where Oasis maybe suffered in that you've got to be on it from nine o'clock every night. That means you can't be still up shouting and singing Beatle songs off a balcony at five o'clock in the morning. You can't."

The Britpop musician made the comments shortly before taking to the stage with his band, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, at intimate London venue the Rivoli Ballroom where he performed an hour-long secret set for lucky Absolute Radio competition winners on Friday (27.03.15).

Performing stellar hits from their eponymous 2011 debut release including 'Everybody's On the Run' and 'Dream On', the band were celebrated by the audience of superfans who sang along to the well known tracks, and chanted the music icon's name between tracks.

Interjecting songs with some hilarious foul-mouthed audience interaction, Noel and his band were on top form with set highlights including pacey new single 'Ballad of the Mighty I' and 2011 single 'If I Had a Gun...'.

Despite vowing not to perform any Oasis songs during the set because, "a) I've got a f***ing album to sell, and b) you got in for f**k all," the performance culminated in a mass sing-a-long to fan-favourite 1995 B-side 'The Masterplan', providing the perfect conclusion to a gig showcasing the talents of one of Britain's most respected musicians.

Fans can listen to the full radio broadcast of the gig and interview on Sunday April 12 from 6pm on Absolute Radio. For more information head to www.absoluteradio.co.uk.

Noel Gallagher Says His Solo Career Cost Him A "Few Million" Pounds To Launch

Noel Gallagher has admitted setting up his own Sour Mash Records label to launch his solo career cost him a "few million" pounds.

The 'Ballad of the Mighty I' singer established his Sour Mash Records label after leaving Oasis in 2009 and admits the costs were so high, he refused to tell wife Sara MacDonald the truth about his financial position for some time.

He admitted: "Everything I've done since I left Oasis has come from my own pocket.

"You've got to pay for the tour, got to pay for the wages and you don't really break even for about nine months.

"I don't mean I lost money. I mean I lost a f***ing s**t load of money. It was a few million, like.

"I had to lie to Sara at first, and when I eventually did tell her, she freaked out -- I mean freaked out.

"So I come out with, 'You know, a year ago, this happened... and she was like, 'What the f***ing hell did you do that for?'

"I said, 'I did it because I felt like I could and I didn't want to be signed to a record label, I wanted to do it myself'."

Despite putting himself in a precarious financial position for a while, Noel's gamble for artistic freedom paid off.

Noel insists he doesn't care about his chart positions or record sales because he knows music doesn't sell as much now as back in the hey day of Oasis.

He told Loaded magazine: "I don't worry about the music getting to number one or anything. I never have done really. Well, maybe I did between 1994 and '97, back when I wanted to rule the world.

"If it has got to the point where you're listening to it, it's got to the point where I'm happy with it.

"People aren't buying as many records as they were four years ago so sales are likely to decline, but it won't make it any less a record."

Noel Gallagher Says James Blunt is F*cking Rubbish

Noel Gallagher has responded to James Blunt's claims that people in the music industry tried to get him to change his accent so he sounded less posh.

He told Loaded “Posh people are alright. I have a lot of posh friends. But James Blunt doesn't get people’s backs up because he’s posh, it’s because he’s fucking shit.“What held him back is the fact he’s fucking rubbish. That’s shit about his accent, he sings in an American accent anyway. I don’t think there are too many posh people in the arts - I don’t think there’s enough working class in the charts.”

Noel also has no desire to be on social media.“It’s not for me, he says. “I have an Instagram account that I’ll be doing on tour. I do a tour blog as well for the website but nobody needs to know what colour socks I'm wearing or what I'm having for breakfast. For me, there’s not enough mystery in the world.

Noel Gallagher's Selfie Rules

Noel Gallagher has told Loaded his selfie rules, they are only approach him if he's stood still and definitely not on a night out.

He said “If I’m walking somewhere and on the move, well sometimes I don’t want to be mithered, certainly not on a night out. If I’m standing still on the tube or in a shop or waiting for a cab, then alright, but not if I’ve got a pace on. It depends what mood I’m in. So some days I’m in a ‘No’ mood all day.” Got it. Basically only approach if stood still – but not on a night out. Some people are so f*cking rude though. Like this for instance – this just happened the other day, and even starting to tell you I’m getting wound up.”I sit back and get comfy on the sofa. Some f*cking Cockney dick second-hand car salesman said to me as I’m waiting for a taxi, ‘Excuse me mate, can you get a picture with my lad?’ So I’m looking round and I’m like, ‘Well, where is he?’ So he shouts to his wife and some little kid comes out dressed exactly the same as his fucking dad.“Well, this lad didn’t have a fucking clue who I was".

He added “This lad is looking at me backing away, clearly no f*cking idea. “Anyway, I put my arm around him and he takes the picture and as the guy is walking off he’s looking at the picture and says, ‘Yeah, you might want to try f*cking smiling next time’. I couldn’t quite hear what he said but there was another guy walking past and HE said, ‘That’s so f*cking rude!’“So I shout after him, ‘Oi! What did you say!?’ But he carries on walking. “He was lucky my wife wasn’t there that day. I’d have put him on his fat f*cking arse. Dick.”

Noel Gallagher On The Offers To Go On Reality Shows He Got After Oasis

Noel Gallagher has said he received a barage of offers for him to go on reality shows after he left Oasis.

He told Loaded "When I left Oasis, there was a barage of offers for me to go on reality shows as everyone thought, ‘Well, he’s going to be unemployed now’. But I fucking can’t stand Strictly Come Dancing. I know Claudia Winkleman a bit and I saw her at a party and said to her, ‘What are you fucking doing that show for? You’re better than that.’ I don’t mind the jungle one (I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.) I like it if there’s a headcase on it. If Shaun Ryder’s on, yes. John Lydon, absolutely. Jordan and Peter Andre, not for me, ta".
