Noel Gallagher has revealed he might never tour again due to a secret health battle: tinnitus in his ear.
Noel Gallagher has revealed he might never tour again due to a secret health battle: tinnitus in his ear.
The former Oasis legend, 53, admitted that both boredom and health concerns could halt future major tours.
Noel Gallagher described his condition, saying: “It’s the ear I stand in front of my guitar amp with. It’s pretty bad.”
He explained how he discovered the issue. One night, after hearing an electric fan sound, it never went away.
Doctors later diagnosed him with tinnitus. Noel said, “It’s the sound of your brain – like a whistling kettle.”
Tinnitus could seriously impact Noel Gallagher‘s ability to perform at loud gigs, casting doubt on any world tours.
Fans hoping for a major Oasis reunion might now have to lower their expectations because of his health struggles.
However, despite this news, Noel Gallagher seems open to reconnecting with his former Oasis bandmates.
He revealed: “I haven’t seen Bonehead within the last five years. I haven’t seen Guigsy since 1998.”
When asked about meeting up with them, he added: “It might be a laugh to see them.”
Besides his health, Noel also shared a funny memory involving lost Oasis lyrics early in the band’s career.
After being kicked out of a Manchester hotel, Noel Gallagher lost a lyric book that never resurfaced.
He said: “It was either The Britannia or The Midland hotel. A lyric book just went missing after police showed up.”
Despite the setbacks, Noel Gallagher continues to work on music and remains an important figure in British rock.
Whether or not he tours again, his influence on music fans worldwide will remain unshakable.
