Johnny Depp's surprising role in helping Noel Gallagher and appearance on Oasis album
Hollywood actor Johnny Depp struck up a bond with Noel Gallagher as he went on to help him work through his writers block and ended up playing on an Oasis track Noel and Liam Gallagher once called in Hollywood actor Johnny Depp to help on their tracks after getting stuck in a writers rut. At the peak of Oasis' fame, the brothers knew they had to keep pumping out tracks for their adoring fans. They had mega success with their first albums, Definitely Maybe in 1994 and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? the following year. Oasis certainly showed off their songwriting status with their first two albums, yet Noel struggled to see where to take the band with their third. He was never short of confidence, though, as Noel considered the band "bigger than f***ing God" having sold over 20million copies of their second album. By the late 1990s, the Gallagher brothers counted celebrities among their fans and so decided to call on them at a time in need. Noel had struck up a connection with Edward Scissorhands star Johnny in 1995 when they teamed up for a cover of The Beatles' Come Together. They formed part of one-off supergroup The Smokin' Mojo Filters alongside Paul McCartney and Paul Weller. It wasn't Johnny's first time recording music, however, as he had previously been signed to Geffen Records as a member of Rock City Angels. He had also appeared on Top of the Pops with the Pogues' Shane MacGowan, cementing Johnny's rock n roll status. Noel went on to ask Johnny to play guitar on Fade In-Out for their third album Be Here Now. "It's going to be weird how that's perceived, having a Hollywood star on the album," he admitted in 1997. Johnny recorded his part on the Oasis track in the Spring of 1996, and picked a stunning location to so do. Noel and his wife Meg Matthews headed to the Caribbean island of Mustique with Johnny and his then girlfriend, supermodel Kate Moss. However, they weren't there on a holiday and Noel had some serious work to get done as he suffered from writers block. "In London the phone was going all the time or there was someone knocking at the door or our kid comes round, 'Are we going out on the p*** or what?'" he told Q magazine.

"Nailing a song together, finding the missing chord that gets it all flowing into one, that takes a lot of peace and quiet," Noel confessed. "The first part of [Fade In-Out] is from the Mustique demo with Johnny Depp playing slide guitar. "I like it because it's the first blues song I've ever done and Liam does the best singing I've ever heard from him." Explaining how the track came together, Noel continued: "The scream near the end was the last bit we did. "Me and Meg went back to Mustique over Christmas and I took the rough mix with me. It needed something and it was bugging me. Meg woke up one morning and there was I in bed beside her with the Walkman on, screaming. "She thought I'd gone into my drug psychotic phase. Oh, sorry, I'm just filling in a bit of the record." Noel seemed pleased Johnny was able to add his touch to the track and admitted he knew it would come as a surprise to fans. Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time.

"So I don't think 14-year-old girls will be skipping about to this one. 'Ere 'Shelle, wind that one on will yer!' Until they find out Johnny Depp's on it... If he hadn't been around, we'd have had to get some fat old geezer who'd be telling us about how he played with Clapton in '76 and took a slide solo that lasted for f**ing months." It wasn't the only time Johnny worked with Oasis, as he went on to play on lesser-known track Fade Away (Warchild Version). It also included a tambourine section from Kate Moss. There were reports of other collaborations between the music and acting stars, yet they never came to be officially released. viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans.

Oasis fans able to ‘get the look' at a pop-up barber shop
Oasis fans were able to 'get the look' at a pop-up barber shop - called 'Gallaghairs' – as they headed to the reformed band's much-anticipated Manchester gigs. The pop-up salon, in the Manchester Piccadilly Premier Inn, allowed fans to get the Gallagher brothers' iconic mod cut before heading to the show at the city's Heaton Park. A professional barber was on hand - fully trained in providing the feathered and shaggy look, complete with long sideburns and a straight fringe. And before-and-after pictures show a delighted music lover going straight back to the 90s, via their hair at least, alongside a Liam lookalike. Tracey Bishop, Premier Inn regional manager Greater Manchester, which is welcoming thousands of Oasis fans to its hotels nationwide this summer, said: "From music tours to football tournaments, events always create a massive buzz in our hotels. "Spirits are sky high in Manchester, and we are excited to be a part of it. "The team are loving welcoming Oasis fans – the bucket hats are a bit of a giveaway at check-in. 'When you think of Oasis, first you think of the massive tunes, but from hats to parkas second on the list is always going to be their incredible style. 'The hair is as much a part of that as anything, so while we can't make people rock 'n' roll stars – we can at least make them look like one and have a comfy bed waiting at the end of the gig.' Levon Gill, the barber added: 'It was so much fun giving these fans such an iconic look. 'The mod style is so synonymous with Manchester, it's great to see we are still keeping it alive. "In our shop we've seen a real resurgence of Oasis style haircuts. "There have been lot of tourists come in to get one, but they wait until they get to Manchester to make sure to get the real deal.' The Gallagher brothers shot to fame in the mid-1990s after two colossally successful Oasis albums, Definitely Maybe in 1994 and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? in 1995. With both Liam and Noel sharing vocal duties, the fractious pair were as famous for their off-stage antics as their music. Thanks to their working-class attitude, the duo were immediate style sensations, with shaggy hair and parkas defining the look of the era. The band went through spats and breakups, finally calling things off for good in 2009 after a blazing row between the two brothers following a Paris gig. In 2024, they announced a reunion tour that sold out in minutes, with fans from around the globe clamouring for tickets. Tracey added: 'Oasis aren't just a band - they're part of people's life stories. 'Their music and style defined a generation, soundtracked major moments and gave fans a voice when they needed it most. 'These songs have always had the power to unite strangers, whether at a gig, a festival or singing in the street after a night out. 'Bringing people together for something this iconic is electric, and we are so proud to be playing our part in it – it's more than a concert, it's a cultural moment that will never be forgotten.'
