Noel Gallagher has shared his desire to perform alongside Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon during a Teenage Cancer Trust concert next year, where the Blur duo will be supporting him.
As the curator for the 2013 gig series, Gallagher is set to headline at London’s Royal Albert Hall on March 23 next year, with Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon scheduled to open for him. During a press conference held in London, Noel expressed his wish to play live with his past rival, stating, “They’ll be playing Blur songs, I would think. I’ll be playing mine. Will we share the stage together? I hope so. I’m up for it. It’s always good to have a little jam.”
He further mentioned, “I’d initially wanted Blur to do it, because they’ve never done it. While I was touring with Graham, I asked him, and he indicated that Blur had kind of been put to bed. It went back and forth, and they eventually agreed to do it. And yeah…10 years ago, who’d have thought it?”
When inquired if he ever plays any Blur tracks, he replied, “I do play ‘Tender’ sometimes at home to myself, when Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Minute Meals is on. He’s got some good stuff going on on there!”
