"We'll never split up" - Noel Gallagher Interview Just Before Oasis Departure (2009)

yeah we're never never going to split up you know as long as people want to see it we'll do it do you know what I mean I can never leave o rasist I am a rasist you know what I mean and I don't think a rasist will ever leave me so I it's all all paper talk is it hey from lond tonight you're right yeah come on down we'll do it down here so we're going to do London tonight first I'm R all right uh no first impressions of the new Wembley Stadium oh it's well it's amazing but then again it should be for all the money to spend on and the time cost yeah what about as a gig venue well I've heard good things I've never seen a gig here um but all my my my people um have been to concerts and said it's be amazing but it looks like it's going to be good it's quite tall and um the old place was kind of quite flat and wide um could be a bit lifeless but um I'm hoping it's going to be great tonight cuz you played the old Wy didn't you was it back in 2000 we were the last British band ever to play play there yeah how's the toour been going hasn't been overshadowed by Michael Jackson's day I'd rather not comment on that um the uh it's been going great you know I mean all our tours are I don't know they follow much the same P it's all you know it seems to be a colle um um a gathering of the working classes you know it's all it's all good prob we have few hiccups in Manchester but you know it's but this is the most number of people you play to on a stadium tour in the UK for sometime isn't it combined yeah yeah I'd have thought so um well neth was 125 don't what this tonight well you're doing more than a quarter of a million over 3 days at Wembley yeah it's all numbers is it so there's been a lot of rumors bookie saying that this might be the last it's nonsense where where does that come from then I don't know you know I don't know people make comments in the press all the time when put any stock in any of so you can nail that rumor on London tonight yeah we're never never going to split you're going to end up like The Rolling Stones hopefully yeah yeah what's so like Neil Young on the stage pushing 70 at glastenbury you know as long as people want to see it we'll do it do you know what I mean and uh I think I speak for the rest of the van we all really enjoy being in the studio and making music but um yeah you know I you know people people kind of take comments that people make and twist them and all that but you know I mean I'd be if there were I mean apparently there's kind of bets in The Bookies yeah one by October's no more I could make a fortune by putting half a million on myself to leave and then leave for a week or something but um now see I can never leave Oasis I am Oasis you know what I mean and I don't think Oasis will ever leave me so I it's all all paper talking it not tempted to continue your radio presenting career cuz I can see you and Russell Brand is kind of like the Richard and Judy show on tellio we are who would be who though well he would have definitely have to be you get first he has to be Judy won he um we are I think there there's talk of us doing something else of uh around um around the next World Cup I think on on the radio you're starting to do other things aren't you just was wondering whether well I've always done other things you know I've kind of had I've had number one singles with other artists and stuff like that with The Chemical Brothers and stuff but um it's nice to do other things makes you appreciate this if you know what I mean you know when you see um for instance working with Ian Brown and people like that and seeing how how they work makes you appreciate you know the level that you got to I think so um it's nice to do other the things I think can have taken up maybe ventriloquism after the tour as well I quite fan that big fan of any ventriloquist well no Children's Entertainment is something I've kind of looked into a bit I mean there nothing better than a captive room full of kids eh it's a big Market I tell you what you 50 qu a day you got could be on to Michael Jackson again um sorry um speaking of this venue um you've got three nights here and then you're going to The Roundhouse do the iTunes Festival a fre gig in a tiny little venue you still like doing things like that um I I don't mind the roundhouse we've done it before for the for the for the proms I don't mind uh the electric proms I don't I don't mind that I don't I don't like wouldn't like the real small gig we've done a gig at the beginning of this tour in Germany for like 600 fans it was horrible no they start kind of talking to you in between the songs and stuff they're kind of this close to you and they start start talking to you you want to see the works of their eyes you don't yet feed off no I want them to buy merchandise and get out that's it I'm not really interested in having a conversation with them actually here we are at the home of wemin the uh the home of the fa England team John Terry any chance going to Man City what do you think still big news he hasn't actually come out and said I I don't I wouldn't wouldn't want him he a cry baby yeah yeah he's a wins back is he play though cries got funny eyes do you think he'd be useful addition to the s team don't need him we don't need him if we get Tes that'll be enough for me I think all the talk of etto and John Terry is a bit silly do you know what I mean I mean I can't see John Terry coming to play for Man City whether he's trying to angle for a new contract or not I don't know but um how do you think you go down with the city fans it's C anyway not going to happen don't like cotney um I think we pretty much covered everything um I'll just have a quick you CA in my head yeah I think yeah I think that's pretty much it just um just in terms of oh yeah Wembley itself when you play Wembley or the idea of a gig this size do you ever get the nerves or is it all just water off for ducks back now it's no I wouldn't no I wouldn't be as uh as arrogant to say that you don't it's water off a Dock's back you know it's I mean look at it but I I kind of prefer the I prefer the bigger gigs as a spectacle you know but I would yeah yeah the bigger the better for me but I love it you know because there's nothing better than seeing 60 70,000 people on a night out you know going mental to songs but um you got any surprises plan um there might be a bit of juggling uh well apparently take that re the other night they were all on unicycles I think Liam might have a little clowns bike this evening but um uh no surprise is well there there is no surprise anymore anyway with the internet and all that in it do you know what I mean everybody kind of knows what set you do but um just hope everybody has a good time and there's no trouble you know and uh everybody gets home safely you got a wet weather plan it's going to kick it down on Saturday apparently is it really I don't won't affect me in the slightest so I'm all right all right now thanks very much nice to meet you good luck cheers for light
