Noel Gallagher claims his rock'n'roll ways are behind him and that's he happy with just a cup of tea these days.
The ex-Oasis guitarist, who is launching a solo career, appeared on the Christian O’Connell Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio this morning.
He claimed he could no longer write songs about being young, drinking and smoking because he was all grown up.
He said: 'Well when you start off, I was 24, your audience is 24, you’re all in the same circumstances, you’ve not yet become a rock star, so that’s when the magic happens, when you’re writing songs about their life and your life mirrors theirs and visa versa.
'Then, as you go on, you become richer and more famous and all that, and they kind of stay the same, and you lose that magical connection that you had, so you have to write about different things.'
He added: 'I couldn’t write a song, an album like Definitely Maybe now because that song’s about being 24 and cigarettes and alcohol and all that, you know.
'And you just don’t feel supersonic at 10 past 7 in the morning changing nappies.'
Christian replied: 'Until you’ve had a Yorkshire Tea.'
Noel, who recently unveiled the new video for his next single AKA...What A Life! starring close pal Russell Brand, agreed.
'You know, you just don’t, it’s as simple as that. I’m just glad it happened then, and we were part of youth culture in the 1990s, and it’s only really dawning on everybody now what a great time that was.'
The musician is making his chart comeback as Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
