How long do you want Noel to continue? (Read 1,538 times)

[Deleted]

He turns 54 this year.

Depending on Corona, he might be 56 before the next album cycle + tour is finished.

How long do you want him to continue? I kinda cringe when I see geriatrics like Jagger and Richards on stage.

Imho he should do two more album cycles and one final tour, before given it up before 60, with the occasional live performance after.

What do you guys think?

[defmaybe00]

He's a singer songwriter, they usually manage to not look cringe for longer, and he could pull the acoustic album and/or tour card at any time

I can see him touring less after the next cycle unless he really needs the money, but I'm sure he'll keep making music for as long as he can

I went to see a fella called Albert Lee in 2018. I think he was 75 at the time. I didn’t know what to expect - but walked away half-knocked sideways. I’d witnessed the real thing, an old master, straight from the source.

This year I’m going to see Clapton at Royal Albert Hall.

Next year I have tickets to see Jeff Beck.

I urge people to go out and see why that generation are so revered. Noel is in that bracket and he’ll putting on great shows until he can’t. I hope so anyway. I’ve learned not to care for birth certificates,

Both Noel and Liam should (and I hope they do) continue for as long as possible making music. I think they would probably get bored if they give it up and anyway what else are they going to do?

[andycat]

hope as long as possible...ive always said he will be solo till he early 60s then get oasis back new album/tour get £150 mill plus for his kids then retire

[The Invisible Sun]

As long as he's willing and able. Don't care if he's still rocking at 80.

I was going to see the Stones for the first time before this pandemic and hopefully that's still to come. So just for the younger fans who never got to see Oasis I'm glad Liam and Noel are still touring.

I hope they continue for as long as they're enjoying it and are still putting out some really decent music. It's not like they're still throwing tvs out the window or writing a bunch of new songs about just getting wasted.

Paul McCartney's 78 and just realised another excellent album. Ringo's still going strong too. I hope Noel carries on releasing music for many years to come.

The issue with Mick Jagger and Roger Daltrey is that their music owed a lot to youthful rebellion and counter culture attitudes of the time, hence the faint whiff of ridicule anytime they take to the stage. Compare that to singer-songwriters from America like Dylan, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, and their songs are a lot more reflective and mature so they suit the old age fine.

Noel isn’t in that bracket. His songs are positive and innocent, but they’re not specifically geared towards youth (aside from Cigs & Alc perhaps). He’ll still suit performances when he’s older.

[mossy]

He’s literally just built a studio, so I expect he’ll be recording for some time yet, even if he starts to tour less. X

[Mean Mrs. Mustard]

As long as he wants. If I don't like it I can choose to stop following him.
