Noel Gallagher has expressed doubts about his health, stating that he is “fucking lucky to make it to 60.” The former Oasis guitarist made the remarks during a recent appearance on a podcast, comparing himself unfavorably to the exploits of 81-year-old Mick Jagger. Though Gallagher is only 57, he claimed that his current lifestyle suggests that he might not have as much time left as the Rolling Stones frontman. Discussing his recent weight gain, Gallagher admitted that he could do with “getting off the booze” and speculated that his current behavior could lead to an early demise.
These comments come only a few weeks after Gallagher announced that he would have to undergo surgery on his “bad knee”. While he did not explain the specifics of what led to the need for the operation, a source close to him stated that he was not happy about it. Gallagher continues to perform regularly, and his recent appearances at various festivals have seen him reunited with some old faces. He has dismissed rumors of a possible Oasis reunion, however, stating that “the answer is neither.”
As Gallagher faces questions about his physical well-being, his recent appearances have been broadly well-received. At Glastonbury, he was seen watching LCD Soundsystem with Dave Grohl and enjoying Kneecap’s performance. Gallagher has previously spoken out against “woke” culture, but continues to perform to large audiences and attract new fans.

Given his status as one of the most influential figures in British music, Gallagher’s comments are likely to be taken seriously by fans and colleagues alike. His longevity as a performer has been impressive, and his ability to remain popular despite changing trends is testament to his skills as a musician and songwriter. As he faces questions about his health, his fans will undoubtedly worry, but they can take heart from the fact that Gallagher remains committed to his craft and determined to continue doing what he loves
