Noel Gallagher recalls the incident
During a recent conversation with BBC Radio 2’s Zoe Ball, the older Gallagher sibling described his first meeting with The Thin White Duke as extremely cordial, with the late icon giving him some wholesome career advice later on.
He said via Rock Celebrities:
“I went to see him one night at Wembley Arena, and Morrissey was supporting him. Just as Morrissey finished, a guy came down to the seats and said, ‘Would you like to go and meet David?’ And I was like [confused], ‘David?’ And he went, ‘David.’ And I was like; I didn’t register for a minute; I was like, ‘Oh, David!’
“So, we go to this dressing room, and he’s putting on makeup with a mirror. And to this day, I can’t remember what was said, but a picture then surfaced of me saying something to him, and he was laughing hysterically. And I remember, Our kid [Liam Gallagher] going, ‘What were you saying to Bowie there?’ And I was like, ‘[I] was slagging you off.’
“But he was such a dude; he actually emailed me a couple of times, a year before his death, and he was just saying, ‘keep writing’ and, you know, great advice from one of the greatest. ‘Keep writing’ and ‘you got to keep going,’ and all that kind of thing, it was amazing. But yeah, he’s one of the greatest. He’s up there with [John] Lennon for me.”

Noel Gallagher recently talked about the prospect of an Oasis reunion in the future. The beef between the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel Gallagher is no secret. The split of Oasis certainly shocked the fans back in the day. In 2009, the band parted ways immediately following a backstage tiff in Paris.
Tension had been brewing in the time building up to their scheduled performance at Rock en Seine festival. The weekend prior, Oasis pulled out of headlining V Festival because Liam Gallagher was suffering from laryngitis, and rumors floated about their tumultuous relationship. It was also recently noted that Liam Gallagher has teased starting a new band with his brother Noel Gallagher and his son in a new tweet. This would definitely excite fans. However, recently, Noel Gallagher said on Absolute Radio today that he will ‘never’ reunite with his brother and ex-Oasis bandmate Liam Gallagher.
