Noel Gallagher reveals that he was recently approached by Miles Kane and Hurts to work on their albums this year.
The High Flying Birds front man plainly admitted to NME that he doesn’t want to be working all the time and that’s why he turned down both projects.
“I don’t live my life by the credo of having to work all the time,” he explained. “I got asked to be on some pretty big records but nothing came of it. I was going to be on the Hurts album: they sent me some great fucking songs, but sometimes you’ve got to phone these people back and say, ‘Nothing’s fallen out of the sky here, man – it sounds great as it is’. If I can add something, then great, I’ll do it but not for the sake of it.”
Gallagher still has his priorities in order revealing why he had to skip the opportunity to work with Miles Kane. Not shy for words Noel admits: “I couldn’t be bothered in the end. I was in Singapore. He asked me to work on it and I was in the middle of a tour and couldn’t make it work. I’ll play with anyone, diary permitting. And when I say diary, I mean Man City football fixtures.”
It’s doubtful the £2m reportedly offered by X Factor for the chief to become a judge on the show will come in the way of any footy matches involving the men in blue – but then again….
