Noel Gallagher revealed how his age started to affect his career as a musician.

Over the past years, Noel and his estranged brother, Liam Gallagher, have been failing to stop the bickering because of Oasis' disbandment in 2009. Both of them blame each other for the fallout, and the beef continues as they get older.

Noel Gallagher Starting To Have Memory Problems?

Despite Oasis having hit songs, Gallagher recently admitted that he started struggling to remember the lyrics of the band's famous tracks in his interview with Matt Morgan on his Patreon podcast.

"I've found myself on this tour consciously thinking, 'What is the next line to this song?" he said, via The Sun. "It's like, you've just got to think about it."

The High Flying Birds member expressed his fears that he would soon follow in Elton John and Paul McCartney's footsteps in using an autocue to guide himself while singing.


His comment about his age resonated with what he said about embracing it despite "feeling" it already.

Oasis started its career in 1991 before the members called it quits in August 2009 after Noel Gallagher left the group.

Noel Gallagher's Health Problems

The former Oasis frontman has been enduring different health problems over the years.

In 2013, he revealed to The Telegraph that he felt he was about to drop dead in the street when he came out one day.

"I went on holiday with the kids, and I was getting out of a swimming pool with one of them in my hand and did my back in," he said. "Then my doctor put me on these tablets - I won't tell you what for - [and] told me that if I didn't take them I would virtually drop dead."

At that time, Gallagher was diagnosed with tinnitus in his ear, which causes ringing, music, humming, hissing, buzzing, and other sounds that "do not come from an outside source." He also dealt with glandular fever at the same time.

The musician also once pulled two muscles in the back of his hand after accidentally cracking it on the side of something he could not determine. The injury caused him pain that he could not even put his hand in his pocket.
