Noel Gallagher and Sara MacDonald announced they were getting a divorce in January this year, after 22 years of marriage. The former Oasis guitarist said that he tended to “jump” on events in his personal life that he could “articulate” and would help produce “better art”.
The pair met in 2000 while the musician and songwriter was married to Meg Matthews, whom he divorced in January 2001. After announcing their split Gallagher and MacDonald said their children, Donovan and Sonny, “remain their priority”.
Noel Gallagher opens up on the split
Noel Gallagher has discussed his shock split from wife Sara MacDonald after 12-years of marriage.
The former Oasis, 55, frontman revealed that the couple ‘grew tired of each other’ which he says is not unusual for couples in their 50s. Speaking with Ireland’s Hot Press magazine, the publication reported that Sarah, 51, with whom he shares sons Donovan, 15, and Sonny, 12, was left furious by her husband’s partying.
In the candid interview, Noel said:
”It’s not uncommon for people to get to their fifties and go, well, you know…”
He also appeared to imply his tough touring schedule and ‘four years on the road’ also contributed to the separation.
Noel confirmed the relationship collapsed during lockdown – with his misery heightened by catching Covid TWICE as it crumbled.
He told for the first time how he caught the virus in the same six-month stretch last year, after declaring he was refusing to wear facemasks to protect himself at the peak of the pandemic.
He said:
”I didn’t get Covid until it was gone – and then I got it twice! I was thinking, ‘I’ve great f*****g antibodies coursing through my veins,’ went to Glastonbury last summer where there was a wave of it, caught it and got it again just before Christmas.”
”Felt fairly s***e both times, but thankfully no complications.”
