LONDON - Noel Gallagher has claimed his wife Sara MacDonald has never looked better since becoming 'Mrs. Gallagher'.
"Do you know, I looked at her the other day and I said to her, 'It's uncanny, but I think you've got better looking since I married you.' Seriously. We were at a party the other night and I was like, 'Oh God, she's beautiful.' I mean, she's blooming since she married me. I might give it a go in a few years, marrying myself. Seriously, she's come on great, she's an amazing woman."
Noel - who wrote the Oasis songs 'She Is Love' and 'Waiting for the Rapture' about Sara - joked: "I'm cool with it, you know, it's not an ideal situation for me to be in, to kind of start again at my age, 27, but I enjoy writing songs and making records, so therefore I'm obliged to get out on the road and make some more money for my missus to buy shoes with, and I will give it the best shot that I can muster."
Noel dreams Oasis can reform in 2015 to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?', despite the problems between him and his brother Liam.
The guitarist admits he regrets quitting the group in August 2009 following a huge backstage fight with his brother Liam as he had big plans to celebrate the release of the band's seminal album - which has sold over 14 million copies worldwide and contained the classic tracks 'Wonderwall', 'Don't Look Back In Anger' and 'Champagne Supernova' - but he hasn't completely given up on his idea.
Speaking about the night of the breakup in Paris - which culminated in Liam attacking him with a guitar - he said: "Well I regret when I was sat in the car and I kind of made a snap decision, really, if I had my time again I'd have thought about it a bit more and gone back, done the gig, done the next, there was only two gigs left on the tour (Oasis last gig: Milan 30 August 2009, in the place of Expo 2015, before a rumoured 5-year-break).
"It was a hasty decision I've got to say, and we could maybe have all gone off and done other things for a few years, in my own head the 2015, 20-year anniversary of 'Morning Glory' is looming and we could have maybe come back, made a new album and played that album in its entirety and gone and been the greatest thing ever, but there you go."
Noel admits he is nervous about hitting the road without his former Oasis bandmates - Liam, Gem Archer and Andy Bell who have since gone on to form new group Beady Eye.
In an interview on the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio, he said: "I like the physical act of touring, it's amazing, it's one of the great perks of the job is to travel around on aeroplanes and visit different places and all that. I mean, I've been in a band for the last 20 years, I've never done a gig without Liam for 20 years, more or less, and with Gem and Andy for like 10 years, that's going to be the most difficult aspect of it. I'd have thought one of two things is going to happen, it'll be around the 12th gig, I'll be sat in the dressing room and after the gig I'll be thinking, `Do you know what, I think I'm up there with Elvis, as a performer I think I'm as good as it gets these days. I mean, who's better than me? Nobody, right?' Or I'm going to be sitting there thinking, `Right, how do I break a thumb and get out of this tour, because I don't like it, I don't like it, I want to go home.' "
