Noel Gallagher called out an emergency doctor after his bender following Manchester City ’s historic Champions League win.
The doctor prescribed him steroids and Noel said he later performed terribly at the gig.
He said: “I lost my voice for one of them (gigs) because I was celebrating City’s winning the treble.
"I had to have a doctor. This doctor arrived at my hotel and it was like he stepped off a time capsule from the seventies. He looked exactly like Gary Shandling.
"He’d come to give me some f****** steroids. He gave me these steroid tablets. He was a great guy. He was a record producer and record executive and then went to medical school.
"He was a very charming old boy. Here’s the thing ‘do you want the show to go on? Do you want to do this gig‘ because if you don’t want to do it they can write you a sick note for insurance purposes. And no, I can do it. I hadn’t damaged my voice, I had strained my voice.
"I said: ‘Is it worth me pulling the show or not?’ And he said: ‘No you should be good.. gargle on this’. He gave me some tablets and it was all good.”
The final kicked off at 10pm local time in Istanbul but Gallagher had plenty of time before having to take the stage in Chula Vista, California with the time difference meaning it was only 12pm on the US West coast.
But he added: “Drinking during the day and watching football is not conducive to when you’ve got a gig that night. But that night the gig was f****** appalling. I had lost my voice and it gave out with about three songs to go. I sounded like Our Kid circa 2006.
"I had to cut the gig short. I flagged it up before the first song. I said: ‘City have just won the Champions League and the treble so this is going to be a little under par’. And they didn’t seem to mind. I’m not even sure they understood what I was saying when I was mumbling into the mic.”
