Noel Gallagher thinks Oasis might have still been around today if they had played their cancelled appearance at a Paris festival in August 2009.
When asked if that planned gig would have ahead whether they might still be together, he said: “Yeah, probably, if we had done that gig we would have had a year off. At the end of a tour usually everyone would leave the band and then you would have six months off and someone would say ‘are we doing anything?’ So we just leave for a bit.
He added “I enjoyed it the same all the way to the end. There was never a point in Oasis where we were all getting on. Never. I joined last and even on the first day I remember thinking ‘He’s a fucking idiot’. When the music wasn’t enough was when I said, ‘I am out, see you later’.”
In a interview with Dermot O’Leary looking back on his career, he also admitted he misses Top Of The Pops and regularly watches the repeats.
He says: “I do miss Top of the Pops. I’ve sat in many a Friday night having a drink and what have you, watching Top of the Pops. They’re amazing, you get like Bananarama followed by Bauhaus followed by some novelty record by a stuffed giraffe followed by The Smiths. It reminds me of youth, it is the one time I get nostalgic I suppose.”
