Western Telegraph15 hours ago

The 1997 Bentley Turbo R was previously owned by the 58-year-old – despite the fact that he can't drive.
The four-door saloon car listed on Autotrader has a unique number plate 'OASI6 2' in reference to the Britpop band.
Speaking about the sale, Erin Baker, editorial director at Autotrader, said: 'Cars listed by music legends don't come around very often, and Noel Gallagher's Bentley Turbo R is certainly one for the Autotrader history books.

'With over 80 million visits to Autotrader every month, we expect this rock 'n' roll ride to strike a chord with music lovers and car collectors alike.'
Gallagher, who will reunite to play a run of gigs this year in the UK and Ireland, once said that he had gave up learning after being mobbed by fans.
He told Zoe Ball on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show in 2023: 'I have had one driving lesson in the 90s and I was driving round a housing estate in Slough and she (the instructor) said to me, 'if you just indicate and pull over here' then I pulled over.

'She got out the car she said, 'I'll be back in a minute', she came out with her mum, she drove me to her house.
'Then the local comprehensive bell went and they all came out.
'This is at the height of Oasis-mania and I was like, 'never, never again'.'
Gallagher began his career in the 1990s with Oasis and went on to form the High Flying Birds after Oasis's initial break-up in 2009.

Glastonbury: Who are Patchwork and the festivals other secret stars?

After the full Glastonbury timetable was published this week, one band's name was on everybody's lips. Except no-one knows who they actually have a prime place on the festival's line-up - third from the top of the bill on the main Pyramid Stage on the Saturday night. The only thing is, there's no band called a fake name for a mystery guest - just as an unknown band called The ChurnUps were on the Pyramid bill in 2023, and turned out to be the Foo immediately went into overdrive to try to work out Patchwork's identity - part of the frenzied guessing game surrounding the festival's "surprise" sets. Who are Patchwork? The main theories include:Pulp - The Britpop heroes, who stepped in to headline in 1995 (and did a secret set in 2011), have just released their first album for 24 years and have a gaping hole in their tour schedule around Glastonbury. Plus, eagle-eared fans noticed that keyboardist Candida Doyle talked in a BBC Radio 2 interview this week about her patchwork hobby. Their spokesman has said it's not them. But is that a bluff?? Likelihood rating: 9/10 but because of the official denial, actually 3/10Haim - The singing US sisters also have a new album and have a UK show in Margate on the Friday of Glastonbury weekend - so it would make sense. Plus fans have discovered that Patchwork is the name of an obscure 2011 German novel by author Sylvia Haim (no relation) and an obscure 2015 film about three young women. Conclusive?! 7/10Mumford and Sons - The 2013 headliners are also on the comeback trail, but if they're Patchwork some might think it a bit underwhelming. 6/10 Oasis - It would be a bit overwhelming if the Gallagher brothers returned to Glastonbury to reunite a week before their first official gig. But they have categorically ruled it out. 0.5/10Robbie Williams - He has a new album called Britpop with artwork using a photo him at Glastonbury in 1995. 5/10Oasis and Robbie Williams - The name Patchwork could suggest a supergroup, so how about the real reunion we've all been waiting for, after they famously partied together in 95? 1/10 that Robbie plays and Liam rocks up to shake a tambourine for one conclusion: I don't know. "Radiohead also are in the mix of rumours because they've been teasing some tour action," suggests music journalist and broadcaster Georgie Rogers, who was a judge for Glastonbury's emerging talent competition this year and is DJing at the festival."Or could Elton John be returning to do something with Brandi Carlile?" Sir Elton headlined in 2023, and Carlile, his collaborator on his last album, is on the Pyramid Stage bill on the same day as Patchwork. The Patchwork slot is just one of several tantalising gaps in this year's mystery Pyramid performer is listed as "TBA" for Friday afternoon, while the smaller Park and Woodsies stages - which have hosted secret sets by big names in the past - each have an empty space on the line-up."They're quite prominent sets, and they do tend to put in massive artists," says Rogers. Unfinished business One group of fans think they know who will fill those gaps."Of the four main slots, I think we've got three of them, maybe four, nailed down," says Ad, one of the people behind the Secretglasto social media account."I think it's definitely people who have got relationships with the festival who will be doing the big slots. An emotional return for one or two, I think. Some unfinished business." Ad doesn't say any more, but that could point to Lewis Capaldi, who struggled to finish his set in 2023 before announcing a break from touring to get his "mental and physical health in order". He made a tentative comeback last month, and would be a popular Del Rey also has unfinished business - her 2023 set was cut short after she breached the curfew. She's back on tour in the UK, with free days on the Friday and Sunday of Glastonbury stars who have been rumoured include Lady Gaga, who hasn't played Glastonbury since earlier this year what it would take for her to return to the festival, she replied: "Not much". Gaga has already played Coachella and been on tour this isn't on the bill either, but told BBC Radio 2's Jo Whiley this week she's "pretty keen" to be."The album's gonna be coming out right around that time," she said. "I am quite tempted by what's going on because I've got lots of friends playing as well. We'll see if I can pull some strings and get there." The Secretglasto team have gathered and posted information about secret sets for more than a decade, and interest in their tips has gone "a bit crazy" in recent - who doesn't want to give his full name - says they have built up a network of reliable sources. "We've got loads of contacts at different stages and record labels and whatever else. And people trust us to be sensible with the information," he says."And the bands themselves don't want empty secret sets do they? So we have had occasions where they have come to us."The six people who work on the account aren't music industry insiders themselves. Another team member, JB, says they sometimes approach acts directly to seek confirmation. Hype machine "Now that we've been around for 10 years and have a decent bit of clout, we will contact some of the artists via their inboxes, and quite often they're happy to confirm."Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they block us. But generally we're able to piece all that together fairly quickly."He adds: "By the time the gates open, there aren't many things we don't know."In the past couple of years, some acts have begun harnessing the buzz about secret sets for PR purposes for their album or tour, Ad believes."It used to just be friends of the festival, whereas now people are like, 'If we do the secret set we're going to get loads of hype and media attention'." Ad was among the lucky few to see Lady Gaga play an after-hours set in Club Dada following her main appearance as her career was taking off in 2009."She did three or four hits and then disappeared," he recalls."Because the phone signal was so bad, you couldn't ring or text your mate to let them know. So only the people who happened to be there got to experience it, which was a few hundred."I'm surprised she hasn't come back. Yet."That was one of the more exclusive secret sets in Glastonbury history. Others draw huge crowds when the word gets out - which it usually was in the right place when she a rumour swept the site that Radiohead would play in 2011."We were over that side of the festival anyway, so on a wing and a prayer, just in case it was true, we dashed over to the Park Stage in good time, and we got pretty close to the stage," she says."There are reports that it was the biggest crowd on the Park Stage for a secret set ever. I'd waited my whole life to see Radiohead live, and then suddenly here we are, and they did this amazing set."As my first ever time seeing them, and being in prime position, and it being a genuine surprise - it was just pure glee. I was just so happy, and I couldn't believe it." Secret sets have been a feature of the festival for 1992, the line-up poster wasn't topped by a star name but the promise of "a special guest that we can't announce". That turned out to be Welsh pop stallion Tom Glastonbury's greatest ever secret set didn't happen at the festival at 1995, indie gods The Stone Roses pulled out of headlining after guitarist John Squire broke his by the time organiser Michael Eavis threw his annual low-key autumn gig in the local village to thank residents for putting up with the main event, Squire was back in the band played their first UK gig for five years in a marquee on a Somerset playing field to a couple of thousand lucky still haven't appeared at the festival itself, business? Tick. Emotional return? Tick! Could Patchwork in fact be The Stone Roses making a long-awaited and triumphant appearance?Who cares if the likelihood rating is -100/10. Add them to the list!

She captioned her shots: "A little girls trip with Sue." Fans were quick to comment on her holiday snaps, with one saying: "Wow u look incredible". Another said: "Still stunning after all these years!" Louise found love again almost two years ago with boyfriend Drew, 41. Since then, they've appeared inseparable, often enjoying music events and spending their summers attending festivals, including Glastonbury and Boardmasters. If Louise hasn't been going to festivals, she's been performing at them, with the singer launching a comeback with her Greatest Hits celebrating her career to date. She's also just released her fifth solo album Confessions. The Strictly winner was with ex Jamie Redknapp for 20 years and they share two sons. 'What's great is (Drew) is brilliant on a friendship level with the boys,' she told The Sun last month. Louise Redknapp says she felt 'the lowest a human could get' when she split from husband Jamie and 'almost gave up' 'They get on great with him. And that, for me, is super-important. There's just a real mutual respect there. Obviously Beau is still at school, but we spend a lot of time together.' The nine-year age gap inevitably led to Drew being described as her 'toyboy' and Louise being referred to as a 'cougar'. But it's 'water off a duck's back,' she added. 'For me, age is irrelevant – within reason – but he's not 22. I think it's more about the person and the life experiences and the connection that's important.' However, Louise isn't thinking about walking down the aisle a second time. 'Oh, I'm not even thinking that far ahead. I'm not even going there. Manifesting is a real hint to Drew. 'I'm not going to lie and say it isn't. But it's also a life lesson to be present in the here and now, so I'm not thinking down the line. I'm enjoying my relationship, my kids, my album and my life." After their split her ex Jamie went on to marry model Frida Andersson in 2021. 5 Louise with boyfriend Drew Credit: Instagram

Sex Pistols legend John Lydon reveals he 'hates' Oasis' music and finds it 'difficult' to go to other people's gigs

has revealed he 'hates' Oasis' music and finds it difficult to enjoy himself at other people's gigs. The legendary rocker, 69, best known as the lead vocalist of the punk band the Sex Pistols, said he's likely one of the only British music stars who won't be attending the highly anticipated Oasis reunion shows. When asked if he would be going to see Noel, 58, and Liam Gallagher, 52, perform, he told The Sun: 'No. They're my mates but I hate their music. He added: 'It's very difficult for me to go to other people's gigs. People don't leave me alone and let me enjoy myself. 'I knocked it on the head a few years ago. I love dancing, you're enjoying yourself and some a*****e will stand right in front of you and waffle banal nonsense which is distracting you from the point and purpose.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Speaking to the publication from his UK tour with his band Public Image Ltd, John added that he loves Noel because he just 'says it like it is'. He also said that the Gallagher brothers make him laugh during interviews, describing them as 'witty' and 'on it in a working-class, quick-as-you-can way'. The interview comes after he opened up on the loss of his wife last month. The singer lost his beloved spouse of 44 years Nora Foster in April 2023 after a five-year battle with Alzheimer's disease. John, who was known as Johnny Rotten during his Sex Pistols days, had drawn an incredible amount of public sympathy following her death having selflessly cared for Nora full-time until her final hours. Now over two years after she passed, the extravagant singer has opened up on the 'agony' he felt as Nora suffered a painful death. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, the 69-year-old said: 'The pain will never go away. She died painfully, suffocating. They call it the death rattle.' Recalling the moment doctors asked him whether they should prolong Nora's life, he added: 'I couldn't say "yes, stop". No, I fought for her life as hard as she fought for it. 'It's insane, and you don't know how to handle it (the death of a partner). And you can end up being really aggressive with people mollycoddling you. But you have to be full of rage to break out of it, or you'll end up as that sympathetic doddering old idiot that you know you would hate yourself.' The singer had previously admitted he 'always loved' Nora having met her in 1975 at a Vivienne Westwood clothes shop - 'there was an instant attraction,' he said. Following her death, John had 'wallowed in alcohol and sadness and self-pity,' he told Metro, but the singer has since come out of that struggle. He insists however that the agony of losing Nora will never go away. John is currently on his Not The Last Tour with his post-Sex Pistols band PiL (Public Image Ltd). Despite his grief, the artist insisted that the 28-date tour isn't a farewell but more a tongue-in-cheek dig at bands who falsely claim they're bowing out. 'The industry is riddled with artists claiming they're on their final tour but have already booked themselves for five years after,' he quipped. But while John is on his tour, his old band - consisting of Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock - are enjoying their own with new frontman Frank Carter. John previously blasted the Sex Pistols recent tour as 'karaoke', branding the group 'impossible to deal with'. The singer revealed he is indeed no longer on speaking terms with his old bandmates after they fell out over a Disney+ TV series he opposed. The dispute resulted in a High Court battle between John and the Sex Pistols over the use of the band's music in the series - which Rotten ultimately lost. John said he 'won't forget' that his old bandmates 'dragged him through the courts' while Nora was seriously ill. The Sex Pistols shot to fame after forming in 1975, but just three years later they had split up. Their only album together, Never Mind the B******s* - a UK number one - is now a staple of punk rock. The band - whose controversial legacy rests upon their anti-establishment values - famously called the Royal family 'fascists' in 1977's God Save The Queen. But in 1978, John formed Public Image Ltd, with the first line-up of the band including bassist Jah Wobble and former Clash guitarist Keith Levene. The group's lineup has changed several times over the last 40-plus-years with John remaining a constant member.
