About Noel Gallagher

In 1988, Noel Gallagher began working as a roadie for the band Inspiral Carpets , where he had previously unsuccessfully applied to be a singer. When he returned from a tour in 1992, he was astonished to find that his brother Liam had joined a band called Rain as vocalist . This consisted of some of the brothers' colleagues, including later Oasis members Paul McGuigan and Paul Arthurs. A concert at Rain quickly convinced Noel Gallagher of Liam's charisma as a frontman. Because of Noel Gallagher's ability as a songwriter , Liam persuaded him to join the band . Noel agreed on the condition that he would become the sole band leader and composer . Rain was renamed Oasis at Liam's insistence . This name comes from the location of a Stone Roses concert in Swindon, the poster of which hung in the brothers' room during their childhood.
Until August 2009, he was the main composer, lead guitarist and, behind his younger brother, the second vocalist of the rock band Oasis . At the height of Oasis ' success in the mid-1990s, Noel was the central figure of the Britpop movement .

The most successful Oasis song is still Wonderwall with seven times platinum. In September 2008, the seventh Oasis album Dig Out Your Soul was released, which again featured six of Noel's compositions. On the album tour he announced his final departure from the band in August 2009 .

In 2011 his first solo album was released titel Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds , which is also the name of Noel's new live band. The album reached the top of the British album charts immediately after its release. After many collaborative projects with other artists, including Jay-Z and Phil Collins, Noel Gallagher released his fourth solo studio album Council Skies in the summer of 2023, which climbed to number two in the charts in Great Britain.
