Oasis lost tracks uncovered as songs from Be Here Now era are heard for the first time and fan hails one 'Noel's best ever'

Daily Mail​2 days ago
Three never-before-heard Oasis tracks recorded during the band's Be Here Now era have been unearthed on a long-lost tape - and one super fan claims one song could be 'one of the best Noel Gallagher has ever written.'
The unheard gems, all performed by Noel himself, were discovered on a forgotten DAT tape labelled 'B-sides' from 1998, around the time the band released All Around The World as a single.
Kyle Dale, a member of the Oasis collectors group, made the discovery and shared the recordings with original guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, who now tours with Oasis tribute show Live Forever – Oasis Live 25.
Speaking on the Oasis Podcast, Kyle explained how the mystery tape caught his attention: 'It said it was seven minutes long but it was actually 55. I knew straight away this wasn't in the archive. It had been lost for over 20 years.'
According to Kyle, the tape features a standout track dubbed I'm Alive, which he believes could still become a hit if released today.
Kyle revealed: 'I played them to Bonehead and the story would be that Noel would record them on a tape and send them round the band and they would listen and go back to it.'
The super fan continued that as Bonehead listened to the songs, some he remembered and some he'd never heard before.
But when he got to I'm Alive, he stopped in his tracks and listened to it.'
Kyle added that he said, 'That is one of the best songs I've ever heard Noel write. It's amazing…if they put that out now it would take off.'
Another track includes a familiar musical section that was later used in the band's 2000 chart-topper Go Let It Out, giving fans a rare glimpse into the evolution of Oasis' sound during that period.
The rare tape also includes a demo of Flashbax, along with covers of The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows and The Rolling Stones' Street Fighting Man.
Despite being offered £20,000 for the tape, Kyle has refused to sell it and even sent digital copies to Noel himself.
But the former Oasis frontman, speaking on the Matt Morgan Podcast, appeared unfazed, saying he'd been sent a USB stick by a fan, but not listened to it.
'It's not something that interests me, if I'm being honest' he'd said.
It comes after Noel went unnoticed by commuters on the London Underground earlier this week as he enjoyed some time back in his home city
It comes after Noel went unnoticed by commuters on the London Underground as he enjoyed some time back in his home city.
The rock superstar, 58, is currently on a world tour with his brother Liam, 52, as the pair managed to put their 16-year feud aside.
After they finished up their second night in Manchester, it appeared that Noel return back to his home in North London as he prepared for their next gig up north on Wednesday, July 16.
In a TikTok video posted by loisinthenorth on Tuesday, Noel could be seen leaving a nearly empty tube with no one rushing over to him, despite his A-list status.
The star opted for a lowkey figure in a navy t-shirt and trousers as he attempted to disguise his identity with a pair of silver frame sunglasses.
The owner of the video captioned the clip: 'POV: You're getting the train from Paddington - Baker St and bump into…'
It comes after it was reported that Noel and Liam are 'planning to splash £200,000 on a huge party' following their shows in London.
After 16 years, Oasis have finally reunited for 41 shows across Europe, including seven gigs in London, with the first on July 25 and the final one on September 28.
And the brothers will reportedly throw the ultimate bash in September to celebrate the completion of the first part of their reunion tour with their celebrity pals.
A source told The Sun: 'Liam and Noel are staying away from the booze and parties during the tour to protect their voices.
'They are looking forward to catching up with pals in September following the success of the tour. There will be no expense spared and guests with an invitation can expect to be given the VIP treatment.'

Chantelle Houghton shows off dramatic new look after 'liquid facelift' amid her five-stone weight loss

Chantelle Houghton has revealed her stunning transformation after undergoing an 'instant' liquid facelift. The former Celebrity Big Brother winner, 41, took to Instagram to flaunt her refreshed appearance and praised the results of the non-surgical tweakment. Chantelle wrote: 'I went to @thelondonaesthetics and had a liquid facelift and skin rejuvenation, the results are instant. 'Little by little, I'm finding my way back… not to who I was, but to who I'm becoming. @thelondonaesthetics have been a big part of that journey.' Fas took to her comment section to share their thoughts on the procedure writing: 'Wow!! That's insane' 'You'll always be beautiful chantelle.' 'You look amazing girl ❤️' 'Absolutely amazing you have such a beautiful soul and you shine so brightly never let anyone take that away from you ✨✨❤️ xxxxxxxx' 'U always look stunning' However other followers urged Chantelle to put the needle down saying: 'Age gracefully you don't need it' 'You have always been naturally pretty. In my opinion you don't need fillers etc... but it's you who has to feel confident. Good luck on you're journey Chantelle'. The star, who famously entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2006 as a non-celebrity tasked with convincing her housemates she was famous, bagged the win - and £25,000 - after becoming a fan favourite. Since then, Chantelle has largely stepped out of the limelight but has recently returned to the public eye after shedding a whopping five stone. Earlier this year, she opened up about her impressive weight loss and insisted that she has not taken the drug Ozempic. Fans had mixed thoughts on the procedure and took to the comment section of social media to raise their praise and concerns Instead, she credits 'blood, sweat, and tears' into dropping the pounds. Chantelle first embarked on her weight loss transformation after reaching 13 stone following her 2021 split from ex-fiancé Michael Strutt and was relentlessly trolled for her weight. The TV personality used the negative comments as motivation and embarked on her weight loss journey that saw her drop an impressive five stone without stepping into a gym. Chantelle committed herself to a strict diet, avoiding processed foods and focusing on healthy eating but has since been accused of relying on weight loss drug Ozempic. She told The Sun: 'There was an article online not long ago, and the comments section was full of people saying, 'Ozempic, Ozempic. But I've never taken it. If I had, I'd happily admit it – I'm an open book. 'But I worked hard to lose that weight through blood, sweat, and tears, and it really p**sed me off that people dismissed my effort. I've had to learn to have thick skin and do what's best for me, but the comments did hurt.' Chantelle said she would never take the drug but warned people if they do turn to Ozempic to make sure it is 'from a legitimate source'. She continued: 'I personally wouldn't take it – things like that scare me – but I can understand why some people do. If you're going to use it, make sure it's from a legitimate source and not something dodgy. It's your body, and you have to do what feels right for you.' Previously Chantelle also said she had cut out alcohol from her diet because of the high sugar content as she gave an insight into her lifestyle overhaul.

I moved to the UK because of Trump, Ellen DeGeneres says

Ellen DeGeneres has revealed she relocated to the UK because Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election. The comedian and presenter, 67, relocated from California to the Cotswolds with her wife Portia de Rossi, 52, in November. While there had been speculation the move was in response to Mr Trump's re-election, it is the first time the star has publicly confirmed the motivation behind the change. Asked whether reports that she moved because of Mr Trump were correct, DeGeneres said 'yes'. Speaking to Richard Bacon in Cheltenham on Sunday, DeGeneres said she and her wife had bought a 'part-time house' and had intended to spend up to four months a year in the UK, but that changed following the election. 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in',' she said, the BBC reported. She added: 'And we're like, 'We're staying here'.' A string of left-wing stars have fled the US following Mr Trump's re-election. Courtney Love, who has lived in the UK for several years, said she had applied to become a British citizen in light of Mr Trump's presidency. Actress Rosie O'Donnell left America for Ireland saying she will consider returning 'when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there'. Last week Mr Trump threatened to s trip the actress and comedian of her American citizenship, labelling her a 'threat to humanity' after she criticised his response to the Texas floods. Speaking on Sunday, DeGeneres said life 'is just better' in the UK and she and her wife were considering getting remarried amid ongoing concerns gay marriage is under threat in the US. 'It's absolutely beautiful,' DeGeneres said of the UK. 'We're just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture - everything you see is charming and it's just a simpler way of life. 'It's clean. Everything here is just better - the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here. 'We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life. We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks.' DeGeneres, who came out as gay in 1997, said some stars have not come out about their sexuality because 'it's still a problem' and 'people are still scared.' The star also spoke of the Southern Baptist Convention endorsing the reversal of a Supreme Court case allowing same-sex marriage. 'The Baptist Church in America is trying to reverse gay marriage,' she said. 'They're trying to literally stop it from happening in the future and possibly reverse it. Portia and I are already looking into it, and if they do that, we're going to get married here.' She added: 'I wish we were at a place where it was not scary for people to be who they are. I wish that we lived in a society where everybody could accept other people and their differences. 'So until we're there, I think there's a hard place to say we have huge progress.'
