Noel Gallagher has admitted that he fears he won’t live to see 60 as he issued a worrying health update and vowed to quit drinking.
The former Oasis guitarist, 57, recently spoke about fellow older musicians including Mick Jagger, 81, to Matt Morgan on his podcast and claimed he couldn’t understand how Mick still managed it as he confessed he would be ‘lucky’ to make it to 60.
Discussing the musicians, Noel said: ‘Well, I mean, they’ve got to be pushing, what, 70 now, innit? I mean, the way I feel f***ing now, I mean I’ll be f***ing lucky if I make it to 60.’
He then joked: ‘Just because Jagger is mincing around at 103 doesn’t mean everyone can.’
Noel also admitted that he was putting on weight and claimed alcohol was the culprit as he said: ‘I could do with getting off the booze, let’s put it that way.’

The podcast interview comes after Noel was booed on stage when he admitted that an Oasis reunion would not happen in 2025 or 2026.
The singer-songwriter’s High Flying Birds band headlined the Y Not Festival on Sunday night.
However, when a fan queried whether Noel and his estranged brother Liam Gallagher, 51, might make a momentous comeback the singer denied the reunion.
He said: ‘When are we going to see you? In 2025 or 2026? The answer is neither.’
The crowd then booed the star and he joked ‘I’ll take the fact that you’re booing as a compliment!’
The headline set was the final leg of Noel’s High Flying Birds’ latest tour, and the frontman quipped he and his bandmates are now ‘sick of the sight of each other’.

He told the crowd: ‘Well, this is the last night of our tour tonight … we’ve been on tour for over a year, so we’re sick of the sight of each other. So, we need to get away from it for a while.’
The brothers have been at loggerheads ever since a backstage bust-up at their final Oasis concert in Paris in 2009.
And last October, Noel called on his brother to end their bickering and phone him about an Oasis reunion.
He said Liam should stop tweeting about getting the hit band back together and do something about it like talking to him instead.
Speaking on a French radio show, he said: ‘He should get his people to call my people. They know who they are, they know where we are. Stop talking on the f***ing internet and let’s see what you’ve got to say.’
Noel was asked whether a phone call would end the feud with his brother, he replied: ‘You would think, right? He’s got my number, he’s got my manager’s number, call us.’
Noel revealed in 2021 that he was the one to spark the bitter feud with his brother Liam.
The Oasis rocker spoke of how Liam had given him clothes from his brand Pretty Green before it launched in 2009, only for him to donate it, unworn, to a charity shop.
Marking what was ‘the beginning of the end’, Noel told The Matt Morgan Podcast how his brother ‘went f*****g mental’ when he discovered his clothes were on ‘a shop mannequin in Barnardo’s’ before he had even launched the brand.

Reliving the tale, Noel said: ‘Liam gave us a load of clobber, not just me, he gave the band it. I went straight to the charity shop and left it in the shop doorway.’
‘He went f*****g mental. He said, ‘If you didn’t f*****g want it, you should have just said you didn’t f*****g want it, you c***.’
‘It was on the shop mannequin in Barnardo’s a month before it launched. If push comes to shove, that was the beginning of the end.’
Liam launched the menswear brand in 2009 to replicate his own eclectic sense of style, but after it was revealed the business was reportedly unable to pay back creditors the £16 million they owed because of insufficient funds.
The Oasis hitmaker was hoping for a boost in sales after being acquired by JD Sports when it plunged into administration in 2019.
According to reports from The Sun, paperwork from the company shows that creditors will be given a share of £133,751.
