The singer also talked about how the band kept him focused on his career instead of drugs
Noel Gallagher talked about fame and how thankful he is that it didn’t “hit” him like it did Amy Winehouse. The High Flying Birds musician, formerly of Oasis, was a guest on the ‘Pub Talk’ podcast and spoke about his experience with success compared to Winehouse, who tragically died in 2011, aged 27, of an overdose in combination with drug use.
“Fame can hit people very hard,” said Noel Gallagher. “I always use the story of Amy Wianhouse, a lovely girl from north London. Suddenly this album comes out, she becomes a global superstar, fame hit her like a truck and she didn’t make it.”

“Unfortunately, she didn’t have people around her. I have been surrounded by the same people for 30 years, who look out for me. I don’t have a transient group of different people every six months,” he noted. The singer-songwriter also talked about his former band Oasis and how it kept him focused on his career instead of drugs. “My alternative has always been my job,” he said. “In Oasis I was the sole songwriter, so I always had my work cut out for me. If I didn’t do the job then the band would collapse,” he argued.
Elsewhere in the conversation, Gallagher said there was “no point” in an Oasis reunion because the band still sell “as many records now” as they did when they were together.
