Noel Gallagher 'gobsmacked' after girl asks him what he does for a living

Noel Gallagher has recalled the first time ever a girl asked him what he did for a living.

While at a bar, a young girl asked him 'what do you do?' which left the Manc star 'gobsmacked'. Appearing on Absolute Radio's Breakfast Show this morning, he recalled the shocking incident.

He said: "Somebody asked me in the Firehouse the other night, 'what do you do?' And I was like...I didn't know what to say." Presenter Dave Berry exclaimed: "Well what do you say to that, Noel?"

Noel continued: "Well, I didn't know what to say because I'd never been asked before. I was like really..." before gesturing to his face. The girl then supposedly asked Noel what he does for a living, so he replied: "I change people's lives for the better."

The girl, still not understanding who he is, asked: "Oh, what - you're in the medical profession?" To which Noel replied: "Of sorts."

Talking about the interaction, Noel said: "I was gobsmacked...I was like, 'look, Google it, love...just put in 'Noel Gallagher'." He added: "Put in Liam Gallaher, you'll probably see a picture of me."

Noel is currently preparing for the release of his latest album with High Flying Birds, Council Skies, which is set to launch on June 2. The release will happen ahead of some summer live shows which will see Gallagher on stage at Wythenshawe Park on August 26.

The album cover, which was released by Noel recently on social media, pays homage to his Mancunian roots as well as his love for Manchester City. Speaking about the upcoming album, Noel said: "It’s going back to the beginning. Daydreaming, looking up at the sky and wondering about what life could be… that’s as true to me now as it was in the early 90s.

"When I was growing up in poverty and unemployment, music took me out of that. Top of the Pops on TV transformed your Thursday night into this fantasy world, and that’s what I think music should be."
