Noel Gallagher is just like you.
Putting aside the fame and fortune, the hit records and the very public family issues, at his heart he's a big music nerd. As a kid he idolised the songs on the record player and worshipped the legends who wrote them.
His Take 5 theme was 'escape', and growing up in a council estate in The North, music was Noel’s escape. He’d be transported by older kids' records and dance till dawn at the infamous Haçienda nightclub. But even as his fame grew and he moved to big houses in the leafy parts of London, the desire for music to whisk him away remained.
