The Oasis and High Flying Birds star was among the guests at the premiere of Moonage Daydream, the first officially authorized documentary about Bowie since his death from cancer in January 2016. The feature film, told through never-before-seen footage, performances and music, is guided by the narration of the Ziggy Stardust performer himself. Gallagher, who says he was lucky enough to meet Bowie during his career – and famously accepted an award on his behalf alongside Kate Moss at the Brits in 2014 – told Sky News he is more of a fan now than ever and that the star has “one of the most interesting stories in all of music.” Speaking on the red carpet at the London premiere, she said: “My relationship is purely through music, really. I didn’t know him that well. I first met him in the 80s, doing Let’s Dance and all that. , and then to go back, when I was more into music, going back in time. “I’m a big fan. I was a big fan anyway, but it affects me more now than ever. He’s one of the all-time greats.” Gallagher said he looked to Bowie for inspiration when working on Who Built The Moon?, his third album with the High Flying Birds. “It was my first time writing in a studio, and he did it all the time, and my producer at the time encouraged me to do it more,” he said. “It was kind of like, ‘He was listening to his interviews, saying you have to put yourself out there and be slightly confident in what you’re doing.’ That was a good point of where we were going at the time. our record”.

Image: Noel Gallagher and Kate Moss at the Brits in 2014 Gallagher is no stranger to being the subject of documentaries himself, having appeared in the 2016 film Supersonic, about Oasis’ formative years and their rise to fame in the 1990s. More recently, he was heard on the Oasis Knebworth 1996 program and appeared on Sky Arts’ Out Of The Now, released in 2021 to celebrate 10 years of High Flying Birds. But he is unlikely to see his appearances on many programs, saying: “I don’t watch TV shows.” Gallagher seems far more interested in watching Moonage Daydream than anything about himself. However, when asked what he would like a documentary to look like telling his story at the end of his music career, he admitted that he wants it to happen. “I’d just like a story to be told at some point,” he said. “I don’t care how. I won’t be around to see it anyway.” Moonage Daydream will be released exclusively in IMAX on 16th September and in UK cinemas generally from 23rd September
