Noel’s secrets for a good life? Here’s a brief list of them, directly from Noel’s quotes… Enjoy!

“I look good in Leviโ€™s 511s, an Our Legacy Bomber Jacket and Golden Goose desert boots.”

“I like Garrett Leight sunglasses with champagne-coloured frames. They make me look like Steve McQueen.”

“When I need socks I buy hundreds of pairs from Ralph Lauren. For underpants I buy Calvin Klein, thereโ€™s no other make worth knowing about.”

“Iโ€™ve got a Lanvin flower pin that I put on my jacket when Iโ€™m feeling psychedelic.”

“Once a week I have a look on Mr Porter. But Iโ€™m old-school: I like to try on clothes before buying them, so I send a lot back.”

“If you want to look like a Mancunian, the place to go is Oi Polloi in Manchesterโ€™s Northern Quarter. Half my wardrobe is from there.”

“As soon as I wake up I tune into Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1. Heโ€™s an old friend and my kids Anaรฏs, Donovan and Sonny love him.”

“I canโ€™t get through the day without Marlboro cigarettes and Yorkshire tea. I take mine strong with one sugar.”

“I have a soft spot for Chateau d’Esclans Whispering Angel rosรฉ champagne. It makes you sing like a whispering angel.”

“When Iโ€™m on tour thereโ€™s got to be Monster Munch or the sound check isnโ€™t happening. Pickled Onion, Flaminโ€™ Hot, Roast Beefโ€ฆ you name it, Iโ€™ll eat it.”

“I like women to wear high heels. Iโ€™ve got a big problem with Ugg boots. Theyโ€™re so unattractive and give the impression that you donโ€™t care.”

“Kate Moss is one of the lads. She will never go out of fashion. Sheโ€™s the only woman who can throw something on as she leaves the house and in six months the entire worldโ€™s wearing the same.”

“Iโ€™ve been most impressed by Madonna recently. When we met she held her hand out, I kissed it and she said, โ€˜Finally, we meetโ€™”

“Iโ€™ve only ever read one novel, On the Road by Jack Kerouac. I decided that no other book would ever compare.”

“I would omit most of 1997 from My Autobiography. The music I was writing was awful, I got married when I shouldnโ€™t have, and I took a lot of drugs.”

“Iโ€™ve been happy ever since I bumped into my wife Sara in Space in Ibiza. I never believed in love at first sight until that moment.”

“My favourite hotel is Borgo Egnazia in Puglia. Itโ€™s got the best kidsโ€™ club, brilliant pools and delicious seafood pasta.”

“Whenever Iโ€™m lying next to Sara I have the best nightโ€™s sleep. That doesnโ€™t sound very rock star but itโ€™s the truth.”
