Noel Gallagher shares frustration at having to undergo surgery on his “bad knee”

Noel Gallagher has shared his frustration after revealing he will have to have an operation on his “bad knee”.The former Oasis guitarist confirmed the news during an appearance on Matt Morgan’s podcast this week, where he said (via Metro): “I’ve got bad knees actually.

I’ve got to have an operation on my fucking knee.”He did not explain the specifics of what has led to the need for surgery, but a source close to the musician has told The Sun that he “isn’t happy at all about the fact he needs this knee surgery”.It is reported that Noel will complete his current tour with The High Flying Birds, which is due to conclude on August 4 at Y Not Festival, before taking time off for the surgery.It comes after Noel’s brother Liam recovered from a hip operation in 2023 that stemmed from an arthritis diagnosis.

After the procedure went well, Liam tweeted, “Riverdance here I come”.When one fan joked with Liam about whether or not the operation had affected his trademark swagger, he replied: “I’m getting my physio to study videos of my old walk so we don’t miss a trick.

The comeback is real.”One fan also asked Liam if he was “drugged up for it” to which he replied, “yeah best part.”Noel’s health challenges did not stop the guitarist from attending Glastonbury last week, where he said the festival is “probably the best fucking thing about Britain apart from the Premier League”, but added that he felt it was getting a bit “woke”.“It’s getting a bit woke now, that place, and a bit kind of preachy and a bit virtue-signalling,” he explained. “I don’t like it in music, little fucking idiots waving flags around and making political statements and bands taking the stage and saying, ‘Hey guys, isn’t war terrible, yeah?
