Paul McCartney Revealed Sad Secret To Noel Gallagher

“I was on tour with U2 in 2018 and we were doing a gig in São Paulo. As the gods of rock n’ roll had decreed, Paul McCartney was playing in São Paulo at the same time. We were all staying in the same hotel and we end up at the bar and [I was] sat talking to McCartney with Bono and the Edge – we’re all hanging out. Out of nowhere McCartney says, ‘Oh, I had a dream about John last night.’ And we were like, ‘What?!’

“He said, ‘We were just in the studio – grooving’. And we were like,’And?’ He said, ‘Yeah it was great’. And I remember thinking, what a brilliant tale to tell your grandkids that McCartney is just saying, ‘I had a dream about John last night’. Far out man!”

The former Oasis man also weighed in on the lasting legacy of the Beatles and how he was “still getting into them and still in love with them.”

“People do say, ‘Why were they the best?’ Noel pondered. “It’s because they had the best words, the best parts, they played the best parts, they wore the best clothes, they had the best sense of humour… they were the best. They are the one band from that era, I mean there’s a few, but those songs have never been bettered. Those albums… they will never be beaten.”

Noel’s explained how his admiration for McCartney goes beyond his achievements as a songwriter.

“He’s a lovely, lovely guy,” he added. “He’s an astonishing musician, he’s got great stories, he’s got a brilliant sense of humour and when you’re hanging out with him you can get on a level with him because he’s just a scouser in a band and you’re a Manc in a band. It’s only about three weeks later when you think, ‘That’s one of the Beatles – that’s one of the Beatles!‘ He’s a dude and I’ve shared the stage with him a few times. I love him dearly.”
