Noel Gallagher is 53 years old today (we can’t believe that either) and looking through our photo archive we found some snaps that gives us a hint of a rock & roll life through his success with Oasis, the feud with his brother Liam (there’s a very good photo on the gallery that sums it up pretty well) and the friends he has met through music (Bono and him chilling on the audience seats before a show is a shot for the memories).

Check out our classic interview with Noel Gallagher in 1997 where he talked with Stuart Clark about Liam Gallagher, Meg Mathews, Sinéad O’Connor, Mick Jagger and England.
