Noel Gallagher vows to keep on rocking into his 90s - as long as he keeps his hair

Noel Gallagher has vowed to keep on performing well into his 90s (sorry, Liam).

The ex- Oasis rocker reckons he’s got more stamina than 76-year-old Mick Jagger because he doesn’t dance.

Noel says: “ I haven’t got any moves to protect into my 70s so I could probably do the standing still thing well into my 90s; should I ever live to 90.

“Will I be doing this at 70? Part of me genuinely hopes not and an equal part of me genuinely hopes I am.”

The High Flying Birds singer, 52, recently confessed that he is still happy playing on stage with a full mop of hair, but may reassess if he starts to go bald.

He said: “There is one ­fundamental reason why I do not give a sh** about the age thing – it is this full head of hair.”

Talking about his scalp, he continued: “This little f***er here dictates everything.

“Can you imagine a bald Mick Jagger – it is a horrifying thought. That just says it all. It is all about the hair – that is it.”

On Thursday, estranged brother Liam, 46, reignited their feud by tweeting: “Oasis The Musical. Five lads from Manchester start a band and take on the world. The little one who writes the songs turns into a massive c***, sacks everyone except his little brother as he ain’t got the a***. Splits up the band. There’s a story line for ya.”

Sounds familiar...

It was 25 years ago that Britain’s youth became mesmerised by track after defiant track from Oasis’ debut album Definitely Maybe , including Rock’n’Roll Star, Slide Away, Shakermaker and, of course Live Forever.

The record would go seven-times platinum in the UK – the fastest-selling debut album of all time – and sell five million copies worldwide.

It perfectly captured the zeitgeist, slicing open the heart of a slump created by years of Thatcherism, recession, and embracing the yearning for a bright post-Tory age of social equality.
