Noel Gallagher has revealed that his wild parties caused his cats to have nervous breakdowns.
The former Oasis rocker, 56, was known for his star-studded bashes at his London mansion, which was known as Supernova Heights, in the 1990s.
An while he and his friends had a great time, he admitted his lifestyle took a toll on his pet moggies.
Speaking on the Take 5 podcast, the star said: ‘I had a couple of cats who had a nervous breakdown. Benson and Hedges, after the cigarettes.
‘They were a pair of f****** lightweights. The cats had a thousand-yard stare by the end of it.
Oh no: Noel Gallagher has revealed that his wild parties in the nineties caused his cats to have nervous breakdowns (seen in 1995)
Poor things! Speaking on the Take 5 podcast , the star said: ‘I had a couple of cats who had a nervous breakdown. Benson and Hedges, after the cigarettes’
‘They’d seen things that no feline should ever see.’
Noel – who has daughter Anais, 23, with first wife Meg Matthews, and sons Donovan, 16, and Sonny, 13, with ex wife Sara MacDonald – sold the house in 2005 but will always look back at that time in his life with fondness.
He said: ‘They were great times, it was an open house. I look back on it as just really fun, happy, hedonistic, carefree times. I didn’t have any kids. It was great.
‘That period from 1998, there were a couple of years that were a bit turbulent but I enjoyed it.’
Meanwhile, the If I Had A Gun hitmaker recently revealed he wants to be laid to rest with a ‘jazz funeral’ after falling in love with New Orleans on a recent trip to the city, which is famed for brass bands accompanying coffins when they are paraded through its streets.
Noel told his comedy writer friend Matt Morgan on his Patreon podcast: ‘I would want a jazz funeral. I went to one recently as a matter of fact – it was great.
‘I think I made a mental note: ‘I must have a jazz funeral.’ And that would be a great name for a band!’
Noel made the remarks despite spending years hitting out at jazz as ‘f****** nonsense’.

Wild: He added: ‘They were a pair of f****** lightweights. The cats had a thousand-yard stare by the end of it’
He said in 2015: ‘If you’ve never been to a jazz club, this is what happens at a jazz club – a jazz club is like four guys on stage enjoying themselves more than the 50 people in the audience.
‘That’s what it is. They’re all playing a different song, all at the same time, in different tempos, in different keys, and they call it jazz. It’s f****** nonsense.’
It comes as Liam Gallagher is to embark on a major stadium tour to mark the 30th anniversary of Oasis’s first album – with or without brother Noel.
The rocker is to reunite with guitarist Bonehead, real name Paul Arthurs, for next summer’s shows, playing every track on 1994’s Definitely Maybe and other greatest hits.
A source close to Liam revealed he had committed himself to the tour, and while the door would be open for Noel to join, that possibility is ‘still a long way off as there are a lot of personal issues that need to be resolved’.
The Britpop band imploded in 2009 when the brothers fell out, but in recent months Liam, 51, has said he wants Noel to call him to make up. But Liam, who could net £10 million from the concerts, recently joked to friends: ‘Who needs Noel?!’

One source close to the Gallaghers confirmed: ‘Liam is convinced he can recreate the magic of the first Oasis album, whether or not Noel is with him on stage.
He’s played songs like Rock ‘n’ Roll Star with his new band and the crowd erupts.’
Wembley Stadium, Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and Newcastle’s St James’ Park could host the anniversary gigs.
Sources said Liam, 51, became convinced he could tour alone after he sold out two nights at Knebworth last summer.
