It has been disclosed by Johnny Marr that a significant amount in rent is owed to him by Noel Gallagher.
The former guitarist for The Smiths recounted that the ex-lead of Oasis resided at his residence without paying rent throughout the ’90s.
However, Marr mentioned that he couldn’t bring himself to charge his friend rent or assume the role of a landlord. He stated, “I had a place in London up until about ’97, ’98 when Noel Gallagher vacated it, because I’d let him borrow it for a couple of years. I couldn’t be bothered being anyone’s landlord. I think he owes me a lot in back rent. At what, £2,000 a week?”
The two have been friends for a long time and they are both fans of Manchester City.
Marr has recently collaborated with Best Coast and Tom Vek on a new side project.
In the meantime, tickets for Noel Gallagher’s ‘High Flying Birds’ arena performances became available for purchase just a few days ago, coinciding with the release of his debut solo album.
