Noel Gallagher is celebrating his birthday today! In honor of his legacy and contribution to the music industry on this special occasion, let's take a look at his early life, career, net worth, and more.
Born Noel Thomas David Gallagher on May 29, 1967, the musician is now 67 years old. He spent his early days in Manchester together with his brothers Liam and Paul.
Unfortunately, the siblings had a terrible childhood as they were constantly beaten up by their alcoholic father.
Regarding his love for music, it all started when he taught himself how to play the guitar that was given to him by his mother as a present. He would explore songs that he heard on the radio, especially the Smiths' classic track "This Charming Man." (via IMDb)
Regarding his career, he met Graham Lambert of Inspiral Carpets when he was watching a show by Stone Roses. After finding out the news of Steve Holt's departure from the band, he auditioned to get the role but was unsuccessful to do so.
Despite failing the first time, he still became the group's road crew. (via So Current)

After Inspiral Carpets went back to England from their tour overseas, Noel found out that his brother Liam joined a group the Rain as a singer.
After watching them live, he was unimpressed with the performance. He was later offered to be the band's manager but rejected the position as he wanted to be a part of the band.
He only agreed to be a member over the condition that he would take over creative control and would be their songwriter.
