Noel Gallagher has revealed the one song he wouldn't be without and it's so different to Oasis
Noel Gallagher has revealed the one song he wouldn't be without and it's so different to Oasis Noel Gallagher will be back on stage with his brother Liam this summer, performing songs from their time in Oasis, but the rock legend has spoken about a song that's a far cry from their Britpop sound It turns out Oasis's Noel has an extensive taste in different musical genres (Image: Getty ) Noel Gallagher has previously revealed eight of his most treasured songs of all time, with one surprising top choice that diverges sharply from the sound of Oasis. The rock icon is set to reunite with his brother Liam for an epic return to the stage this summer, beginning in Cardiff's Principality Stadium, marking their first joint appearance since 2009. Noel is synonymous with the definitive sound of Oasis, but it appears one tune he would not be without hails from a band entirely unlike them. During an episode of the BBC's Desert Island Discs, Noel shared the eight tracks he'd choose to have if he found himself isolated on an island.

His last choice, taking eighth spot, was 'Ticket to Ride' by The Beatles, with Noel proclaiming the Liverpool legends as "the greatest band of all time" and commenting: "I can't really go through this without mentioning The Beatles." However, the track he would rush to save if all his discs were being swept out to sea starkly contrasts with the vibes of Oasis – the classic 'Be My Baby' by The Ronettes. Article continues below Noel has attributed this selection to Sara MacDonald, whom he met in Ibiza in 2000 and went on to marry in 2011. In a discussion prior to their announced divorce in 2023, Noel spoke with the BBC about why he'd choose to preserve this particular song over the others. He remarked: "I am going to save Be My Baby by The Ronettes because it would make me smile and clench my fists at the same time and think... I still haven't forgiven her for that but I do love her." Noel was referring to an earlier part of the conversation where he shared that his then-wife, Sara, chose 'Be My Baby' for their first dance at their wedding. Even with a history of performing two consecutive nights at Knebworth to a crowd of 250,000, Noel found the prospect of dancing in front of friends and family heavy going. He described how he dreaded the forthcoming dance, saying: "I was dreading that moment coming up, like I have to dance like an adult, and I said just do me one favour, when we get on there, don't show off because I am clearly a northerner, and a man." Yet, when 'Be My Baby' started playing, Noel recounted that Sara became like "Olivia Newton-John". It was actually his daughter, Anais, noticing her father's unease, who orchestrated getting everyone up to dance, thereby easing Noel's discomfort. Preferring to pen tunes rather than jive to them, Noel provided insights into his songwriting process when asked if he could predict a hit. He shared his perspective on music creation, noting: "There is no golden rule but there are kind of little sign posts that you recognise," adding, "If a song comes quickly, it usually means it is good because it has just fallen out of the sky. "Don't Look Back in Anger took, you know, 15 minutes. If I had known that night that that song would live for so long, and become such a thing, I would never have finished it because it would never have been perfect enough to think, 'Oh in 25 years people are going to be playing this at their weddings.' It was just another song." He called Hand in Glove by The Smiths "one of the greatest songs ever" and heaped praise on U2's The Joshua Tree album, adding: "You listen to it now and it is easily one of the greatest batches of songs any band has ever written. "I love U2. I don't know, if you don't get it, you don't get it, and shame on you for not." Liam and Noel Gallagher (Image: Simon Emmett/Fear PR/PA Wire ) Oasis are set to perform an impressive 17 dates across the UK this summer, including seven shows at London's Wembley Stadium.

Following Spector's passing, Zendaya paid her respects to the singer on Instagram, posting a never-before-seen polaroid of the pair in 2018. "This news just breaks my heart," she wrote. "There's not a time I saw her without her iconic red lips and full teased hair, a true rockstar through and through. Ronnie, being able to know you has been one of the greatest honors of my life." "Thank you for sharing your life with me," Zendaya continued. "Rest in great power Ronnie. I hope to make you proud." In January, Louis Vuitton revealed the first of three Murakami re-edition collections in honor of the collaboration's 20th anniversary. In the early 2000s, the brand's former creative director Marc Jacobs teamed up with the Japanese artist to create handbags and accessories featuring Murakami's anime-inspired graphics.

Zendaya to Play Ronnie Spector in A24 Biopic "Be My Baby" for Barry Jenkins
Yara Sameh Oscar winner Barry Jenkins has been tapped to direct A24's 'Be My Baby,' a biographical drama about Ronnie Spector. Zendaya, who has been attached to the project since 2020, will portray the '60s music icon. Before the singer died in 2022, Spector was an executive producer on the film and hand-picked Zendaya to play her on screen. 'Be My Baby' will be adapted from the 1990 memoir 'Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts, and Madness, or, My Life as a Fabulous Ronette' that Spector wrote with Vince Waldron. However, the film is expected to focus on the singer's life with the troubled producer Phil Spector, according to Deadline, who first reported the news of Jenkins' involvement. Dave Kajganich ('Bones and All,' 'Suspiria') has been tapped to write the original screenplay. Spector, born Veronica Bennett, rose to fame in the 1960s as the leader of the girl group the Ronettes, known for hits such as 'Be My Baby,' 'Baby I Love You' and 'Walking in the Rain.' As the subtitle of her memoir suggests, she often rocked a beehive hairdo, cat-eyed mascara and tight-fitting outfits. She wed music producer Phil Spector in 1968 (and took his name professionally) but detailed in her autobiography that he essentially kept her as a virtual prisoner in their home during their tumultuous marriage. During that time, she recalled descending into alcoholism, which impacted her professional life. Phil Spector was sentenced in 2009 to 19 years in prison for murdering the actress Lana Clarkson. He died at age 81 in 2021. Ronnie Spector, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, died after 'a brief battle with cancer' at age 78. A24, Marc Platt, Adam Siegel, Mark Itkin, Tom Shelly and Zendaya will produce 'Be My Baby' with Jonathan Greenfield serving as executive producer. Adele Romanski and Mark Ceryak, Jenkins' partners at Pastel, will also be joining as producers. Timing on 'Be My Baby' is not clear since Jenkins recently signed on to direct 'The Natural Order,' a sci-fi thriller starring Glen Powell. Zendaya has Christopher Nolan's epic 'The Odyssey,' Universal's 'Shrek 5' and Marvel's 'Spider Man 4' on the horizon. 'Be My Baby' marks another collaboration for Jenkins and A24 after 'Moonlight' and this year's Sundance darling 'Sorry, Baby' (which Jenkins served as a producer). The movie also reunites Zendaya with A24, a producer on 'Euphoria' and the upcoming romantic comedy 'The Drama' with Robert Pattinson. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
