Noel Gallagher: My Boy Will Be A Legend




















He must be the coolest newborn on the ward.

The tot was just hours old when dad Noel Gallagher hailed his son Donovan as a legend.

No pressure then, young man.

The Oasis star sent friends and family a text on Saturday afternoon to announce his baby news.

It read: “He shall go by the name of Donovan Rory MacDonald Gallagher and he will be a legend. Give thanks and praise.”

I assume little Donovan is named after the Sixties Mellow Yellow singer rather than former Neighbours star Jason or LA Galaxy striker Landon.

But the lad was almost handed a more unusual name.

Noel has been joking for weeks he was going to call the kid Sven.

The songwriting hero has become a big fan of the name since Sven Goran Eriksson turned around the fortunes of his beloved Man City.

But his lovely missus Sara MacDonald put a stop to that idea. A pal said:

“During the pregnancy Noel was calling the bump Little Sven. He said he wanted to name the lad after the City boss. Luckily he’s ended up as Donovan.”

Sara’s first baby was born at 11.15am on Saturday at London’s Portland Hospital after a seven-hour labour. He weighed in at 7lb 5oz and Sara insisted on a natural birth.

Noel — who has a seven-year-old daughter, Anais, with ex wife Meg Mathews — is delighted to have a little lad to take to watch City.

And Donovan was born just a day after uncle Liam’s birthday.

Meanwhile, Oasis have signed a new deal with Universal Music Group.

The band control domestic releases through their own Big Brother label but previously Sony took care of international distribution.

Universal now have that role, starting with next month’s DVD release of Lord Don’t Slow Me Down.

After a short paternity leave Noel will be back in the studio to work on the new Oasis album. The lads have been working on the record in London’s Abbey Road Studios.

Noel — who fronts a Radio 1 Legends show at 9pm tonight as part of their 40th birthday celebrations — has described the new tracks as “heavy”.

And the album — expected early next year — will no doubt provide a fine soundtrack for his son’s early life.
