Noel Gallagher says solo career has lost him “a fucking shitload of money”
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 31 March 2015
Right, you fuckers. Go and buy Noel Gallagher’s new solo album. And a ticket for a show. Or don’t. To be honest, I’m not sure what the best plan of attack is here. I guess it depends on whether or not you want an Oasis reunion, because not being in that band is having a really negative impact on Gallagher’s bank balance right now.
Speaking to the NME, he said: “Everything I’ve done since I left Oasis has come from my own pocket. You’ve got to pay for the tour, got to pay for the wages and you don’t really break even for about nine months. I don’t mean I lost money. I mean I lost a fucking shitload of money. It was a few million, like. I had to lie to Sara [MacDonald, his wife] at first, and when I eventually did tell her, she freaked out – I mean FREAKED out”.
Yeah, I’m not surprised. You can’t just go around losing a fucking shitload of money on your hobby. Maybe it’s time to get a proper job. But I suppose we should hear him out. What was his rationale? “I did it because I felt like I could and I didn’t want to be signed to a record label, I wanted to do it myself”, he explained. “Luckily enough it’s worked out”.
Wait, it’s worked out? Was this just a complicated way for him to brag about making a fucking shitload of money?
