Here are some comments about our Noel by the people who know him the best, his family

"He's very ambitious; He always was. He's not fantastically confident but quite brave, funny, intelligent, a bit paranoid at times and incredibly big-headed and very moody. I sometimes think that Noel does think he's better than everyone else, and I don't mean just musically. He loves music and likes to hang out with cool people, always wanting and needing to be the best; but then all the Gallagher boys do."

PAUL GALLAGHER


"He's not writing for me, he's writing for himself. I mean, he writes some bits for me but he's the man. He writes the gear and I think it's good 'cos then you've not got loads of people around sayin' 'I think we should do this or this'. I mean, it works or for some bands and they get nice things out of it. But he's got it sewn up, he's got hundreds of songs that re just mega, totally different from what we've got now. He'll never run out."

LIAM GALLAGHER


"Noel was always a happy-go-lucky type, always had loads of friends. Noel would be growing up and he'd always have loads of girls, everyone that knocked at the door was for Noel."
