Noel Gallagher reveals his wild parties in the 90s caused his cats to have nervous breakdowns: ‘They’d seen things that no feline should ever see’
Noel Gallagher discovered that his wild parties caused his cats to have nervous breakdowns.
The former Oasis rocker, 56, was known for his star-studded parties at his London mansion, which was known as Supernova Heights, in the 1990s.
While he and his friends had a great time, he admitted that his lifestyle took its toll on his pets.
Speaking of Get 5 podcasts, the star said, “I had a couple of cats that had a nervous breakdown. Benson and Hedges, after cigarettes.
‘They were a couple of fucking easy ones. The cats had a view from a thousand meters to the end.
Oh no: Noel Gallagher revealed his wild nineties parties caused his cats to have nervous breakdowns (seen in 1995)
Poor things! Speaking on the Take 5 podcast, the star said: “I’ve had a couple of cats that had a nervous breakdown. Benson and Hedges, after cigarettes
“They saw things no cat should see.”
Noel – who has daughter Anais, 23, with first wife Meg Matthews and sons Donovan, 16, and Sonny, 13, with ex-wife Sarah McDonald – sold the house in 2005, but will always look back fondly on that time in his life. .
He said: “It was a great time, it was an open day. I look at it as a really fun, happy, hedonistic, carefree time. I had no children. It was great.
‘That period from 1998, there were a few years that were a bit turbulent, but I enjoyed it.’
Meanwhile, the If I Had A Gun hitmaker recently revealed he wants to be laid to rest with a ‘jazz funeral’ after falling in love with New Orleans on a recent trip to the city, which is famous for brass bands accompanying coffins as they parade through its streets.
Noel told his comedy writer friend Matt Morgan on his Patreon podcast: “I would like a jazz funeral. I actually went to one recently – it was great.
“I think I made a mental note of, ‘I’ve got to have a jazz funeral.’ And that would be a great name for a band!’
Noel made the remark despite spending years rooting for jazz as ‘fucking stupid’.

Wilde: He added: ‘They were a couple of fucking easy ones. Cats looked a thousand meters to the end’
He said in 2015: “If you’ve never been to a jazz club, this is what happens in a jazz club – a jazz club is like four guys on stage being enjoyed by 50+ people in the audience.
‘It is what it is. Everyone plays a different song, all at the same time, at different tempos, in different keys, and they call it jazz. That’s fucking stupid.’
It comes as Liam Gallagher is set to embark on a massive stadium tour to mark the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ first album – with or without brother Noel.
The rocker will reunite with guitarist Bonehead, real name Paul Arthurs, for shows next summer, playing every track on 1994’s Definitela Maibe and other greatest hits.
A source close to Liam revealed that he has committed to the tour, and while the door would be open for Noel to join, that possibility is “still a long way off as there are a lot of personal issues to sort out”.
The Britpop band broke up in 2009 when the brothers fell out, but in recent months Liam, 51, has said he wants Noel to call him to reconcile. But Liam, who could earn £10m from the concerts, recently joked to friends: ‘Who needs Noel?!’

A source close to Gallagher confirmed: “Liam is confident he can recreate the magic of the first Oasis album, whether Noel is on stage with him or not.
He played songs like Rock ‘n’ Roll Star with his new band and the crowd went wild.’
Wembley Stadium, Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and Newcastle’s St James’ Park could host jubilee gigs.
Sources say Liam, 51, became convinced he could tour on his own after selling out two nights at Knebworth last summer.
