āBlurās Damon Albarn and former Oasis star Noel Gallagher put aside their years of Britpop feuding to literally kiss for the cameras at EMIās post-Brit Awards after party. Gallagher, 44, kissed both hands of Albarn, 43, before planting a smacker on his lips in front of shocked guests.ā ā London Evening Standard 2012
āNoel texted me earlier, to wish me luckā, he says with an approving nod. āVery classyā. What a nice man. āHe really isā agrees Albarn, a note of resignation in his voice. ā Damon Q Magazine 2014
āI still see Noel from time to time. We text a bit,ā Albarn says. When asked if the pair would be making a record together, he replied, āI can imagine that being a very distinct possibility at some point in the future. But, as yet we havenāt really talked about it, althoughā¦OK we have a little bit. Weāre talking. Itās not anything to get excited aboutĀ yet. I mean, heās doing his thing. Heās finishing a new record. Iāve got my record coming out, but the principle of us making music together is somethingā¦you know, it would be fair to say, we have discussed it at least once."Ā ā Damon NME 2014
āI was around at his place and he was playing me his album before it came out. It was literally like saying, āLetās go for a drinkā. He said,Ā āWe should do it one day.āĀ I would be f**king very, very, very interested, but Iām going on tour now for a couple of years, and by the time I get back, heāll be on tour ā so if it ever happens, I donāt know.Ā But turns out heās a bit of a dude. I thought Everyday Robots was great, then I went to see him at the Albert Hall. I thought it was going to be this real intimate kind of thing, and I was amazed at how joyous it all was. It was f**king great, one of the best gigs Iād seen last year. Maybe the best. Funny lad.ā āĀ NOEL, The Ticket Ā 2015
You recently suggested a potential collaboration with Damon Albarn. Is this still on the agenda?
We talked about it again a few days ago. The thing is that he finishes his tour when I start mine. And you know Damon, by the time I get back, heāll be playing at the other side of the planet (laughs). But he lives near me, so I hope we will have the occasion to find the time to do it. Anayway, Iād really like to be in a studio with him, see if we can write a song together.
Hereās something else you wouldnāt have believed 20 years ago!
Haha exactly, if you had told me one day Iād be happier to be in a studio with Damon Albarn than with my brother, I probably would have tell you to fuck off (laughs). But thinking about it, I think we have a lot in common. Weāre the same age, we lived the same things, the drugs, the success in the 90ās. We were too stupid to admit it at the time, but nowadays we have enough wisdom to say that weāre alike. But if you find a time machine, donāt tell that to the young Noel Gallagher! ā Noel, Plugged Magazine 2015
āIt was different world. Pop music was so different to how it is now. I always end up having this conversation in one form or another with Noel [Gallagher] when we have a drink together. We seem so different to the Ed Sheerans of this world.ā āDamon, Mojo 2015
