Noel Gallaher has revealed what happens when two of the biggest names in rock and roll history meet back stage at a gig – they end up talking about flowers.
The 53-year-old Brit Pop star has peeled back the curtains on the first time he ever met rock royalty, Sir Ringo Starr, of the Beatles fame.
Noel and his brother Liam were gobsmacked when the 80-year-old world famous drummer dropped backstage following a performance in their Oasis heyday.
Noel has explained that he was taken by surprise when Sir Ringo started to discuss the power of flowers when they engaged in a conversation.
The Sun quote Noel stating: “He was the only man to ever walk into an Oasis dressing room and get a standing ovation. We said, ‘What are you doing in London?’.
“And he said, ‘I’ve come to the Chelsea Flower Show’.”
The Oasis star went on to say he was convinced Sir Ringo was just joking around, but he quickly discovered the Yellow Submarine star is indeed obsessed with plant life.
Noel added: “He’s going, ‘Do you ever go to the Chelsea Flower Show? You should go and just see the flowers’.”
On the topic of music, Noel recently revealed Wonderwall is his least favourite Oasis song.
He told Mojo magazine this month: "Wonderwall is one of my least favourite songs because it's not finished.
"If I could somehow twist time and go back there, I would pick a different song for our calling card - probably Some Might Say."
He added that he has "no idea" why Wonderwall became as popular as it did – with the song reaching number 2 in the UK when it was released back in 1995.
