Here’s a piece of news that Liam Gallagher most likely won’t take nicely to – his brother Noel is set to be crowned ‘Godlike Genius’ at this year’s NME Awards.
The award ceremony, held on February 29th, will honour Noel with an award previously won by superstars like the Manic Street Preachers, The Cure and last year’s winner, Dave Grohl. The award can’t be deemed undeserved, after a hugely successful career which includes playing in mega-famous Oasis and his new project Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.
Speaking about his win, Noel said: “I would like to thank NME for bestowing upon me such a great accolade. I have dreamt of this moment since I was 43 years old. I accept that I am now a genius, just like God.”
NME Editor Krissi Murison, who helped decide the winner, said of Noel’s career: “For the best part of two decades, the voice of one man has dominated the pages of NME more than any other. That man is Noel Gallagher.
“Opinionated, intelligent, passionate and always hilarious – Noel walks and talks it better than any other musician out there, and it's just one of the reasons why the British public loves him so dearly. That he keeps pushing boundaries as a solo artist proves that there's a long way to go in the story of one of the most talented musicians Britain has ever produced.”
Noel truly is a superstar with thousands upon thousands of fans across the country. If you’re one of them, make sure you catch him on his up and coming UK tour – check the dates and details below to find yourself the best priced tickets available.
