After quiting Oasis following a big fight with his brother Liam in August last year, Noel Gallagher is going solo. It can be remembered that Gallagher had written on Oasis’ website in August that he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer”. Now he has just announced his first solo concerts. He will be performing in two of the Teenage Cancer Trust’s annual charity concerts at London’s Royal Albert Hall on March 25 and 26. This will be the former Oasis guitarist’s fifth time to be featured in the Teenage Cancer Trust’s annual charity concerts. According to Gallagher, the nights he had performed for the trust’s yearly events had been the ‘best nights’ he’s ever performed in the United Kingdom.
“Ten years ago I got a call from Roger Daltrey asking me to join him for the first ever concert for the charity. Since then I’ve been honoured to support this amazing charity. I’ve had some of the best nights I’ve ever had on a UK stage,” Gallagher said of the yearly charity concerts.
The Teenage Cancer Trust’s annual charity concerts will be Gallagher’s only shows this year, so it will be very special for him and for his fans. The patron of the charity, Roger Daltrey, the founder and lead singer of English rock band The Who said that he is very thrilled about having Gallagher in the March concerts. “It’s a blinder. I’m over the moon. It will be Noel’s only shows this year, so those nights will be special,” he said. Gallagher will be joining Arctic Monkeys, The Specials, The Who, Them Crooked Vultures, Suede and boy band JLS for the series of concerts. Depeche Mode will be opening the event on February 17th.
Will there be an album after this? Is there something in the works now? That remains to be seen, but it seems that it is unlikely that there will be an album from him this year.
