Noel Gallagher - The musician undergoes knee surgery
Noel Gallagher (57) seems to be undergoing a knee operation. The rock musician reportedly told this to the British "The Sun" in a podcast. Gallagher apparently confirmed: "I really do have bad knees. I have to get my damn knee operated on."
Insider on Noel Gallagher: "A sign that he's getting older"
According to an anonymous source, Noel's Oasis icon brother Liam (51) underwent the same procedure due to arthritis last year. "Noel is not happy at all that he needs this knee operation," the source explained. "It's a sign that he's getting older, and he's not good at lying down - unless there's football on TV."
The surgery is reportedly scheduled for this year. Some performances by Gallagher with his band High Flying Birds are still planned until August. It is assumed that the musician will then take a break and have the operation done afterwards. The source is certain that Gallagher will recover well: "It's a small operation and it won't hold him back." Allegedly, he has already bought a special home trainer to focus on his fitness after the surgery.
Liam Gallagher was operated on in 2023 as well
Gallagher's younger brother Liam had undergone a hip operation due to arthritis in the previous year. He shared in February 2023 that the surgery had gone well and he was back home. The brothers, known for their strained relationship and their band Oasis and hits like "Wonderwall," have been feuding for a long time. "His little brother will surely find it amusing that he has the same problems as him," the insider speculates.
Despite his brother Liam's successful hip operation for arthritis the year prior, Noel Gallagher's upcoming knee operation serves as a reminder of the effects of aging. Operation on his knee, as confirmed by Gallagher himself, is scheduled for this year, which might impact some of his performances with High Flying Birds until August. Liam Gallagher, known for their strained relationship, might find amusement in sharing the same health issues.
