Noel Gallagher can’t understand why his brother Liam wants to reform Oasis because he "must be loaded".
The 51-year-old rocker was stunned to see so many of his fans dressed from head to toe in garments from his younger sibling’s clothing label Pretty Green and thinks the popularity of the brand means the former Beady Eye frontman must be financially secure.
He said: "Kids with their dads, all of them dressed in Pretty Green, I was saying to my mam, ‘F***ing hell, why does he want to get Oasis back together, he must be loaded.’ Every **** in a parka, every f***er in a parka, the middle of the summer, hat on, four pairs of sunglasses."
While Noel has been vocal about his desire not to get back with Oasis – who split due to tensions between the Gallagher brothers in 2009 – their songs still play an important part of his solo setlists.
He quipped: "It’s easy, you just do ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ then work backwards from that, that’s worth 50 quid of anybody’s money, right? That’s a fact. You’ve only got to justify the other £75 then."
The ‘Holy Mountain’ singer also admitted he’s not afraid to rework his own old material for new songs.
Speaking at the launch of his book ‘Any Road Will Get Us There (If We Don’t Know Where We’re Going)’ at Kings Place in London, on Tuesday (23.10.18), he said: "There’s only so many times you can write a song about the rain and use the word shine and I’ve got away with it shedloads. I’ll never stop trying to… I’ve used the chord for ‘Wonderwall’ six times now and it’s not f***ing drying up yet."
