Noel Gallagher, the 57-year-old frontman of Oasis, has expressed a bleak outlook on his future, suggesting he would be “lucky” to reach the age of 60. In a candid conversation with Matt Morgan, Gallagher reflected on his health and lifestyle choices, particularly his alcohol consumption, which he believes contributes to his deteriorating well-being. He drew a comparison to Mick Jagger, the 81-year-old Rolling Stones singer, stating that not everyone can maintain such vitality into old age. Gallagher's comments reveal a sense of resignation regarding his health, as he admitted to experiencing weight gain and acknowledged the need to reduce his alcohol intake. He previously stated in a 2022 interview with BBC Radio 1 that he does not wish to live beyond 75, citing concerns about the state of the world and expressing a desire to avoid witnessing further decline. He shared a bucket list of aspirations he hopes to fulfill before his time runs out, including collaborations with notable musicians like Johnny Marr and Bob Dylan. Despite recently completing a tour with his band, High Flying Birds, Gallagher humorously noted that the band members were “sick of the sight of each other.” The longstanding feud with his brother Liam Gallagher continues to overshadow any hopes of an Oasis reunion, even as Liam's son Gene has indicated that his father is keen on mending their relationship. The future of the iconic band remains uncertain as the brothers navigate their complex dynamics.
