OHMYGOSSIP — My Chemical Romance didn’t expect such a warm reaction to their comeback announcement.
The American rock band – which features lead vocalist Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, and bassist Mikey Way – recently announced plans to reform for a reunion gig, and after their comeback show sold out within minutes, the band took to Twitter to thank the fans for their support.
The post read: “It is truly unbelievable to us the happiness we have experienced over the past two days. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the warm welcome back. We truly did not expect this. See you soon. Xoxo, MCR. (sic)”
The upcoming show will mark the band’s first performance together since 2012, and comes almost a decade after their last album, ‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys’, which was released in 2010.
However, earlier this year, frontman Gerard ruled out the prospect of getting back together with his bandmates.
At the time, he explained: “We definitely get offers regularly to reunite – it’s a constant thing … It’s flattering, it’s really nice of people … I miss playing with the guys, but I don’t think so.”
Gerard, 42, also admitted one of the reasons why the ‘Na Na Na’ musicians split up was because they’d stopped having “fun”.
He said: “You get caught up in this trap of ‘Is it ever gonna be good enough?’
“It wasn’t fun to make stuff any more. I think breaking up the band broke us out of that machine.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ciara has entered an “incredible chapter” in her career.
The 34-year-old singer has launched her own record label, Beauty Marks Entertainment, and she feels “blessed” to have taken ownership of her own destiny.
She shared: “It’s an incredible chapter. It’s pretty cool to know you’re out here running around and hustlin’ and bustlin’ and you’re not only performing songs you wrote, but you also own the masters to those songs.
“I used to dream about that while being signed to a label. I was like, the day that I get a chance, I want to own my own masters.
“I want to do it differently. Because after a while you kind of get frustrated with having to go through the same process – when you believe in something, when you have a vision for it, but the person who makes the decisions doesn’t share the same vision.
“When I got the chance, I actually wasn’t even planning on doing it in that moment.”
Ciara released her first studio album, ‘Goodies’, 15 years ago.
And the chart-topping star admitted the record still has a “special” place in her heart.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “It’s kind of surreal – it’s like pinching myself, and going, ‘This is literally 15 years ago.’ Like, 15 years ago sounds so far away.
“To see this generation dancing to that song like it’s a new song, and it’s falling right into the pocket of what’s happening now, it’s kind of crazy. It also shows you the cycle of music and how different times repeat themselves all over again.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Deftones’ ninth studio album will “definitely be out next year”.
That’s according to their frontman Chino Moreno, who has confirmed the ‘Knife Party’ hitmakers – also made up of Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, Frank Delgado and Sergio Vega – have recorded “an album’s worth of music”.
He said: “This summer, we actually went into the studio and recorded an album’s worth of music.
“So, the music was pretty much done and the last few months have sort of just been working on the lyrics and the melodies and the singing parts. So that’s pretty much where we’re at right now.
“I’m hoping that it’ll be earlier on in the year, but I feel like once I give a definitive answer or speculate exactly when, I feel like we’ll be held to it so I kind of want to continue on.
“Of course, it’ll be out next year, hopefully earlier than later. Our biggest thing is making sure that it’s good.
“We’ll be performing it, once it’s out, for the next two or three years, so we want to be sure it’s the best it can be and want to make everyone happy – including ourselves.”
And Chino admitted the band hadn’t put pressure on themselves to record the album in a certain time frame, so it has been a “cool process” making the follow up to 2016’s ‘Gore’.
Speaking to NBC 7 San Diego, he added: “We’re not doing that thing where we go in and lock ourselves in a room until it’s done; we are kind of enjoying our time making it.
“It’s been a cool process, we get together, we work for a couple weeks, whether that’s just making noise and coming up with ideas and then everybody just goes home and comes back to work on ’em a little bit more. So, we’ve been doing that for a little over a year or so.”
Chino’s comments come after Deftones sparked speculation they had started work on a new album back in March 2018.
The alternative metal outfit dropped a huge hint they were working on a new record after admitting they were”back at it”.
A post on their official Instagram showed the group back in the studio, and they added the caption: “Someone say jam?! #deftones #backatit #fujixt2 #fujifilm #xt2 (sic)”
They also shared another picture of lead guitarist Stephen jamming on his ESP.

OHMYGOSSIP — The Pussycat Dolls will reunite for a “big performance” on ‘The X Factor: Celebrity’ this month.
The ‘Don’t Cha’ hitmakers have been rumoured to be getting back together for a huge world tour and now it’s been claimed they will kick off their comeback with an appearance on the British reality show, on which member Nicole Scherzinger is one of the judges.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “‘The X Factor’ producers approached Nicole about the idea of performing with the girls and she jumped at the chance.
“It’s going to be their first big ­performance of the reunion and will be extra special for Nicole because of her role in the show.
“Having the Pussycat Dolls perform is a real coup for Simon Cowell and he has told Nicole to pull out all the stops to make sure their routine gets people talking.
“The girls know how much this performance means to Nicole so they’re going all-out. It will be really special.”
The news comes after Kimberly Wyatt recently admitted it would “be a dream” to reunite with Nicole, Ashley Roberts, Carmit Bachar, Melody Thornton and Jessica Sutta and get on stage with them in front of her and husband Max Rogers’ three kids, Willow, four, Maple, two, and two-week-old Senna.
She said: “There’s nothing I can share but I’m staying optimistic about it all. I’d definitely be up for it. I’m a mum of three now so getting back up on stage would be a lovely thing to share with them. The first time I was on stage with the Pussycat Dolls was the most empowering moment of my life. To live in that space again and show my children what that means to be would be a dream.”

Meanwhile, Nicole previously claimed she was too “busy” for a reunion because of her commitments to ‘The X Factor: Celebrity’, ‘Australia’s Got Talent’ and ‘The Masked Singer’ in the US.
She said: “I’ve heard about those rumours as well. I cannot confirm those rumours. I love my girls, I miss touring with them, we had the best times together.
“But I can’t confirm anything right now. Because I’m so busy, I’m doing three different shows on three different continents.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lana Del Rey always writes the first and last songs of her albums first.
The ‘Born To Die’ hitmaker thinks the two tracks are essential in deciding the direction of her record and she finds the rest of the LP will fall into place once she has the opener and closer set.
She said: “I always say that if you have a closer and an opener, then you know where you are going.”
For her latest LP, ‘Norman F***ing Rockwell’, Lana spent four years working on closing track ‘Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have – but I Have It’ but it quickly came together when she met collaborator Jack Antonoff.
She added: “Not because it was special but it wasn’t piecing together. So I sang that to Jack a capella the day I met him and we did ‘Norman’ [titular opening track] the next day. Just a series of chords that he played that I freestyled over.
“And I thought, ‘I’ve got the first song and I’ve got the 13th song. And then I pretty much knew what to do in between, I just didn’t know how long it’s going to take. I have the same thing for this next album but it’s actually going to take longer than I want if it’s going to be as good as this one.”
Lana already has some song titles in mind for her next record.
She told Q magazine: “It’s the words that make me feel confident about the next one. Every now and then a long phrase will come to me. Like, ‘Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have’, ‘Will You Still Love ME When I’m No Longer Young and Beautiful’ … I have no idea where they’re going to go, but objectively, I’m like, ‘Oof I want to fill it in.’ So I have three of those. One in particular, ‘Let Me Love You Like a Woman’, there’s just something about it. I feel like it’s going to be really important but I don’t know why yet. That’s where the magic comes in.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rage Against The Machine are set to reunite for a 2020 tour.
The ‘Killing in the Name’ hitmakers last performed together in 2011, but look set to take on a string of North American tour dates next year, including a headline set at Coachella Festival.
The dates were announced quietly through the band’s Instagram account, where they posted a picture of a protest in Chile, and captioned it with the dates they plan to play.
The post – which is currently the only image on the Rage Against The Machine Instagram account – read: “El Paso, TX March 26, 2020
“Las Cruces, NM March 28, 2020
“Phoenix, AZ March 30, 2020
“Indio, CA April 10, 2020
“Indio, CA April 17, 2020 (sic)”
And Wayne Kamemoto, the group’s longtime associate, confirmed the news to Forbes as he said: “The band’s social media is accurate.”
The two dates set for Indio, California, fall on the two weekends that Coachella will be held next year, suggesting they will be taking on a headline slot and the famous festival.
News of the reunion comes after guitarist Tom Morello – who has been active alongside bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk in supergroup Prophets of Rage – urged fans not to “wait around” for a Rage Against The Machine return.
He said earlier this year: “There’s no news on the Rage Against The Machine front. The times demand people standing up. That’s what I’m doing with my stuff, what Prophets Of Rage is doing. Don’t wait around for Rage Against The Machine. Form your own band and get it done.”
The band’s most recent record came in 2000’s ‘Renegades’, which saw them covering tracks from the likes of Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen.
Since then, frontman Zack de la Rocha has been working on solo material, which he last released in 2016.

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space’ was inspired by Fall Out Boy.
The ‘You Need To Calm Down’ hitmaker has revealed she is a huge admirer of the emo pop group’s bassist Pete Wentz, who she picked as her “favourite lyricist” along with Lana Del Rey, and she also revealed listening to Fall Out Boy influenced her 2014 hit.
The ‘Shake It Off’ singer also shared how she quizzed Pete and Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie on everything about their songwriting when she went to “the most emo dinner party” ever at the latter’s house.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on his Apple Music Beats 1 radio show, Taylor spilled: “I show up and it’s like, Brendon and Pete Wentz sitting next to each other. “I just got to ask them every single question.
Pete Wentz is probably… if I had to pick a favourite lyricist, it’d be a tie between him and Lana Del Rey. ‘Blank Space’ is a song that’s just zingers, one after another after another, which I definitely learned from listening to Fall Out Boy.”
The US pop superstar teamed up with Brendon on the hit duet ‘ME!’ this year, and previously revealed the aim with the tune was to make people “feel better about themselves”, as it’s about “embracing your individuality and really celebrating it”.
She explained: “‘ME!’ is about embracing your individuality and really celebrating it and owning it, and you know, I think that with a pop song we have an ability to get a melody stuck in your head.
“I just wanted it to be one that makes them feel better about themselves.
“The fans are amazing. I can’t believe how much they care.
“So it makes it more fun for me to create music, to create music videos, knowing that they’ll care about little Easter eggs, or clues, or hints.
“You don’t know how much fun that is to make stuff for people who care about it that much.
“So it’s the fans, they’ve always been there and it’s gotten more fun as time has passed.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Sheeran’s manager has called for a change in the way charts are calculated because the “bigger acts” are “getting stuck” at the top.
The 28-year-old singer/songwriter’s recent track with Stormzy, ‘Take Me Back to London’, spent six weeks at the top of the charts and the star has had four chart-topping albums, but Stuart Camp believes it would be “nice to see a bit more rotation” at the summit.
He said: “I think it would be nice to see a bit more rotation at the top of the charts.
“You look at it and say, ‘Well, you’ve been number one for five weeks. Please go away.’
“The bigger acts that go up there are getting stuck. I don’t know if there’s a way that they can change the way they are calculating the streams.”
Stuart also admitted he is “very conscious of overkill”, and is keen to make sure people don’t end up becoming “bored” of the ‘Perfect’ hitmaker.
Speaking on BBC Music Introducing podcast ‘Does My Music Suck?’, he added: “I never want anyone to be bored of him. But I guess if he’s top of the charts then they’re possibly not. You just want to make sure that’s a fair representation.
“We’re very conscious of not doing overkill. Bizarrely, we’ve been doing it for 10 years where we really have overkilled, but no one seems to be sick of it.
“We are very conscious of too much Ed Sheeran.”
Stuart’s comments come after he recently admitted Ed inserts unusual clauses into his contract, including a recent one that ensured he carried a laminated photo of the Weasley twins from ‘Harry Potter’ in his wallet at all times.
He said: “The deal I get nervous with is my own management deal with Ed Sheeran because every year he puts a stupid clause in it that I have to proceed with. It’s the honest to God truth.
“I have to carry a picture of them in my wallet at all times. I have a little laminated card of those lovely twins. I have to have that with me at all times. It’s in my management contract.
“There’s a picture of the two twins from Harry Potter, behind me, that rises up from the wall. That’s a clause in my contract with him. Stupid things like that. Ed’s actually misunderstood the contract.
“He thinks I have to show it to people everywhere I go. If I’m in [a magazine] and there isn’t a picture of it, he rings me and says, ‘You’re in breach [of the contract].’ ”

OHMYGOSSIP — Little Mix will stay together “as long as” they are “having hits”.
Jade Thirlwall – who is joined by Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock in the girl group – has admitted that she and her bandmates would only go their separate ways if their music started to “dwindle and get a bit floppy”, because they would want to go out on a “high”.
Speaking on RuPaul’s ‘What’s The Tee?’ podcast, she spilled: “As long as we’re having hits, we’ll stay together. If our music has started to dwindle and get a bit floppy then … we’d want to end on a high.
“Right now we’re probably happier than we’ve ever been as a group.
“Now we’re in a position where we, not musically, are reaching out and do­ing our own little pieces and projects.”
The ‘Woman Like Me’ hitmaker also admitted that they thought their career would be over after a legal hassle meant they had to change their name from Rhythmix.
Jade admitted: “It ended up getting changed to Little Mix which we hated at first.
“We were like, ‘It’s the end of our career, we sound like children’. I guess in hindsight, it has kept us young.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Black Magic’ hitmakers – who shot to fame on ‘The X Factor’ in 2011 – are set to launch their own talent show, ‘The Search’, on BBC One next year.
The BRIT Award-winning group are on the hunt for singers to make up a new all-female, all-male, or mixed group in their new entertainment series, and the lucky winners will get the chance to join the girls on their summer tour in 2020.
Little Mix said: “We want to create lots of incredible groups who really gel. As we have been there and done it ourselves, we know what it takes to make a group successful, and will be there to mentor them every step of the way.
“We want solo artists to audition as well as groups and every type of genre is welcome too.
“It’s going to be really exciting and people can apply right now.”
The seven-part series will air on Saturday nights on BBC One.
Singers will form into new bands, live together, and gain access to Little Mix’s inner circle of vocal coaches, song writers, producers, stylists, and more.

OHMYGOSSIP — Calum Scott has revealed he has penned another track with Leona Lewis.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ star is close friends with the ‘Bleeding Love’ hitmaker – who hasn’t released a record since 2015’s ‘I Am’ – and the pair have a new song together after teaming up on a version of his tune ‘You Are the Reason’ last year.
The ‘Dancing With a Stranger’ singer told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “We wrote a song together in LA.”
Calum also revealed that his next record – the follow-up to his 2018 debut LP ‘Only Human’ – will head in a different direction.
He said: “I’m going to Nashville to do something in the country lane.”
Leona’s last release was the Latin number ‘Solo Quiero (Somebody to Love)’, prior to that she featured on the charity single ‘Bridge Over Troubled Waters’ for the victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
Meanwhile, Leona previously shared how the upheaval in her personal and professional life – including changing record companies – she went through after shooting to fame as the winner of ‘The X Factor’ in 2006, was reflected on ‘I Am’.
She said: “The new album is from the heart and I put all my emotions out there and I’ve written a lot about what’s been going on in the past two years with me, so it’s a very empowering tone in the whole record.
“I’ve experienced a lot and gone through a lot and I’ve been able to write with some of the most top, amazing singers.
“The past 10 years have gone by in a flash. Also because so many things have happened, I feel like I’ve experienced so much in that time.”
The 34-year-old star has since got married to 30-year-old choreographer Dennis Jauch, who she tied the knot with in a vegan Buddhist ceremony at Sting’s Tuscany estate in Italy in July.

OHMYGOSSIP — Dua Lipa is set to perform at the 2019 ARIA Awards.
The ‘Electricity’ hitmaker has been confirmed to join Halsey at the annual ceremony, which takes place at the Star Event Centre in Sydney, Australia, on Saturday (02.11.19).
Dan Rosen, the CEO of ARIA, said: “I am thrilled to have Dua Lipa join us for the ARIA Awards this November.
“She is a global superstar who has dominated the charts around the world and here in Australia. I cannot wait to see her take the ARIA stage.”
The ‘New Rules’ hitmaker could be set to perform her new single ‘Don’t Start Now’, which is released on Friday (01.11.19), at the ceremony.
This year, Tones And I leads the nominations with eight nods, followed by Hilltop Hoods and The Teskey Brothers, who have seven apiece.
‘Australian Idol’ winner Guy Sebastian is hosting this year’s ceremony.
Meanwhile, Dua recently teased that her hotly-anticipated new single is about “moving on”.
The 24-year-old pop star will launch her “new era” with the Nu-Disco dance track, and revealed it’s about entering a new chapter in her life.
She explained in a statement: “I chose to put this song out first so I could close one chapter of my life and start another.
“Into a new era with a new sound! It’s about moving on and not allowing anyone to get in the way of that.
“It also felt like a natural first song choice as I made it with the brilliant same crew I made ‘New Rules’ with.”
The ‘Hotter Than Hell’ hitmaker embarked on a “new chapter” in her love life in June, as she started dating model Anwar Hadid, following her split from on/off boyfriend Isaac Carew.

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams, Will Young, Simply Red and more will play the annual Magic of Christmas event at the London Palladium in November.
The ‘Let Me Entertain You’ hitmaker has just announced his first festive album, ‘The Christmas Present’, which will be released days before the Magic Radio concert, which returns to the legendary venue on November 24.
Joining Robbie, the ‘Leave Right Now’ hitmaker and Mick Hucknall and co on the star-studded bill is Beverley Knight, James Morrison and Jack Savoretti.
Robbie quipped: “Wow, that’s a good line-up. Then I’ll definitely come.”
The show kicks off at 3pm and is hosted by Magic Radio’s Harriet Scott.
Meanwhile, Robbie is out to stop Michael Buble’s Christmas reign.
He said: “I nearly called this album ‘Achtung Bublé’.
“It needs to stop. I love him, I absolutely adore him … but it just needs to stop now!”
Fans are in for a treat next month, as the ‘Angels’ singer – who will also perform a festive show at the SSE Arena, Wembley, in support of the record on December 16 – has teamed up with Tyson Fury, Bryan Adams, Sir Rod Stewart and his dad Pete Conway on duets on his record, and he even has a small feature from his seven-year-old daughter Teddy on the track ‘Home’.
The ‘Rock DJ’ hitmaker asked the 31-year-old boxer to sing on ‘Bad Sharon’, a song about a “boozy office party”, and he thinks the heavyweight “smashed it” in the recording studio.
Robbie said of the track: “That makes sense in some sort of universe! I got my residency in Vegas and while I was out there Tyson was fighting and he invited me into his dressing room, is it called a dressing room when you fight? I don’t know.
“And I asked him and he said yes and the song itself, ‘Bad Sharon’, is basically a boozy office party somewhere in the Midlands and it makes sense for Tyson, in that moment in my head, and to be fair he’s smashed it.”
Tickets for Magic of Christmas are priced from £54.30 plus postage and packing. Head to magic.co.uk for more information and to win tickets.

OHMYGOSSIP — Billie Eilish says the thought of recording her second album “haunts” her.
The ‘Bad Guy’ singer has a sense of dread surrounding the prospect of creating new songs after the success of her first album ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ left her questioning her love of music.
Speaking to Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong for a special edition of Rolling Stone magazine, she said: “[My next album] haunts me.
“There was a period where I was like, ‘Do I even enjoy music?’ ”
Billie released her debut album LP in March 2019 and has spent the rest of the year touring the songs, but the 17-year-old artist insists the life of a pop star is not as glamorous as people might imagine.
In September, Billie sprained her ankle on stage at the beginning of a show in Italy, and was the victim of theft when someone stole one of her rings during another show in October.
She said: “It just felt like so much touring. And I don’t mean the shows. The shows are always my favourite part. But it was just travelling and being alone all the time, on a cold bus in Europe, horrible food, and when you come back everyone’s kind of moved on from you. This last tour I went on was the first I’ve ever enjoyed. I feel like I have this amazing thing that now I actually see.”
Despite Billie’s angst about her second studio LP, her singer/songwriter brother Finneas O’Connell revealed earlier this month that they are “deep” into the creative process of her second album.
Finneas spilled: “I’m writing the album now and I think the album’s all new. I think it’ll mirror ‘When We All Fall Asleep…’ in that sense that the EP had ‘Ocean Eyes’ and ‘Bellyache’ and then the album was just only album songs and no re-releases so we’re excited about that one.
“We’re deep into the creative process on new material for sure.”

OHMYGOSSIP — My Chemical Romance are set to reunite for a one-off show.
The ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ hitmakers – comprised of brothers Gerard and Mikey Way, Ray Toro, Frank Iero, and James Dewees – split in 2013, and in the six years since they went their separate ways, fans have longed for a reunion.
And on Thursday (31.10.19), the band announced they would be getting back together for a one-off show at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles California on Friday, December 20.
The show will mark their first performance together since 2012, and comes almost a decade after their last album, ‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys’, which was released in 2010.
My Chemical Romance’s reunion comes after frontman Gerard ruled out the prospect of getting back together in an interview earlier this year.
He said: “We definitely get offers regularly to reunite – it’s a constant thing…It’s flattering, it’s really nice of people … I miss playing with the guys, but I don’t think so.”
When the group split, the 42-year-old singer claimed the band weren’t needed anymore because Barack Obama was in power and he admitted the changing political climate in the US made him consider a reunion, but ultimately decided against it because he is such a different person now.
He added: “That’s stuff I thought about when the world started to get super f***ed-up again … It definitely came into my head, but I’d changed so much as a person.
“I didn’t know how I’d fit into it any more, I didn’t know how the band would fit into it any more. But you’re right, the world is definitely in need of something positive.”
Gerard admitted one of the reasons why the ‘Na Na Na’ musicians split up was because they stopped having “fun” and felt under a lot of pressure while making their last album.
He said: “When things start to succeed and go really well … that’s when a lot of people start to have an opinion and that’s when you run into struggle … everybody had a f***ing opinion about what MCR should be. So it made it difficult to figure out what direction to take next. You get caught up in this trap of ‘Is it ever gonna be good enough?’
“It wasn’t fun to make stuff any more. I think breaking up the band broke us out of that machine.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Westlife are to embark on a huge stadium tour next year.
The ‘Flying Without Wings’ hitmakers – comprising Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan – will perform their first UK-wide outdoor tour in over eight years and, following their 20th anniversary comeback jaunt earlier this year, they have promised fans they are “better than ever”.
Speaking to MailOnline, Shane said: “Westlife 2.0 is what we’re calling it and I think we’re better than ever. We are definitely more relaxed and making our best music…
“It is brilliant to be back with the boys. 2019 has been an unbelievable year for us but there’s so much happening in 2020. We can’t wait to get back out on the road.”
Kian added: “Twenty years have gone so quickly. It is unbelievable to look back at everything we’ve achieved and it is just great that people still want to listen to our music.
“We’ve been blown away by the response to the release of the new music and this year’s tour was our biggest selling ever. There is more to come from us.”
The tour will kick off at Norwich’s Carrow Road on June 19 and calls to places including Cardiff, Inverness, Plymouth, Colchester, Gloucester, Leicester, and Durham, culminating in the group’s previously-announced first-ever show at London’s Wembley Stadium on August 22.
The ‘Uptown Girl’ singers have teased the shows will offer “some surprises”, as well as their biggest hits.
They said in a statement: “We’re looking forward to next summer when we’ll be playing so many fantastic outdoor venues across the UK…
“The Stadiums In The Summer Tour will see us reach more fans than ever before. The shows will be incredible and will include all of our hits and some surprises. We cannot wait to get back out on the road.”
Tickets go on sale on November 8.

OHMYGOSSIP — Noel Gallagher still wants to write the “greatest” song ever.
The former Oasis star’s catalogue of songs includes classics such as ‘Live Forever’, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ and ‘Wonderwall’, but Noel doesn’t want to rest on his laurels, and he revealed his goal in music now is to create a perfect tune.
Speaking during a 90-minute question and answer session at Salford Lads Club in Manchester, England, he said: “I’m still trying to write the greatest song of all time. I know that sounds pretentious, but that’s kind of what keeps me doing it… Thank God I have an interest in life and music.
“I’m not driven by anything other than making music. I’d like to just keep doing it and keep on having the enthusiasm to do it. I’m still trying to write that f***ing song.”
The 52-year-old musician admits there are plenty of tracks penned by other artists that he wishes he’d written, ranging from The Beatles’ anthem ‘Hey Jude’ and The Clash’s ‘A Town Called Malice’ to timeless ballad ‘Moon River’.
As well as his acclaimed albums, Noel has also penned a host of brilliant b-sides and when asked which one is his personal favourite he picked Oasis’ ‘Half A World Away’.
Referencing Aurora’s cover version which featured in the 2015 John Lewis Christmas advert, he quipped: “John Lewis made me a fortune for it. Ironically, I’ve spent a fortune in John Lewis.”
