Noel Gallagher Interview: Oasis Super Gig Planned For Manchester Next Year?

Tonight, he's a rock and roll star

Noel Gallagher is unquestionably one of the most popular songwriters of his generation. On the opening night of Oasis's latest tour, he spoke to Ed Thomas about the next 18 months he'll spend on the road, Manchester City and... the X Factor?!

In light of the recent unsavouriness which saw him pushed off stage at a festival in Canada, Ed begins his interview with Noel by asking how the incident has affected him.

Answering with trademark candour and wit, Noel explains how it's shaped his feelings towards playing live.

He also touches base on why the tour began in Liverpool rather than Manchester and the influence the city has gone on to have since the band's early days. Then it's on to the perils and pitfalls of life on the road and the X Factor's role in the cultural life of Britain in 2008.

Lastly, Ed asks the question it's irresistible to ask any Manchester City fan - even Noel Gallagher. Just how does it feel to support the richest football club in the world?
