Noel Gallagher's been hitting the booze hard during 9-week lockdown bender

He’s already admitted to a huge Greggs addiction, visiting the Geordie bakers every day for a sneaky sausage roll… and now Noel Gallagher has come clean about another – the booze.

Yep, the rock ’n’ roller really is living the lyrics to Oasis track Cigarettes and Alcohol.

“What have I been doing? F*** all – drinking. I’ve got to f***ing stop drinking,” he says.

Naughty Noel reveals he’s been hitting the booze throughout lockdown.

The platinum-selling solo artist carries on: “I’ve stayed quite f***ing solid, nine weeks – drinking every day for nine weeks.

“It’s like being on tour but actually without the graft. I can’t wait until it’s f***ing over now. I’m f***ing done with it now, it’s beginning to get on my f***ing nerves. You know what I mean?”

Er, I think so Noel… certainly my liver is wincing at the thought.

Talking to his pal Matt Morgan, he adds: “I want my kids to go back to school and I want everything to get back to normal.

“I’m not going to accept a new normal – f*** that.

“Hang on, there’s people f***ing marching in the streets the other day, f***ing quarantine’s done, man. It’s done. I think it’s enough now – enough. The psyche of the nation is suffering.”

At this rate Noel will be giving rock ’n’ roll’s hellraiser-in-chief Keith ­Richards a run for his money.

Unless brother Liam – who was on the tequila as he promoted new album MTV Unplugged this weekend – gets there before him.
