Noel Gallagher has revealed that he is set to have an operation on his knee, as sources claim he’s not ‘happy at all’.
The Oasis singer, 57, has made a rare comment on his health as he swore about his ‘bad knees’.
‘I’ve got bad knees actually. I’ve got to have an operation on my f*****g knee,’ he told Matt Morgan on his podcast this week.
The singer didn’t divulge exactly why he was having the operation, but his brother Liam has spoken openly about arthritis affecting his joints, suggesting this could be the same genetic problem.
Liam had a hip replacement and told Mojo Magazine in 2022: ‘My hips are f****d.
‘I’ve got arthritis, bad. I went to get it checked and my bones are mashed up.
‘I can’t sleep at night for the pain, tossing and turning.’

A source has told The Sun that Noel isn’t happy about the surgery, and is certain that his brother Liam – who he famously fell out with several decades ago – will get a kick out of him suffering from the ‘same problems’.
‘Noel isn’t happy at all about the fact he needs this knee surgery. It’s a sign he’s getting on and he isn’t very good at being laid up – unless there is football on the telly.
‘Liam had to have his hips done after struggling and now Noel is going down the same path.
‘His little brother will no doubt be getting a laugh out of him having the same problems as him.
They added crucially: ‘Noel will bounce back though. It’s a minor op and it won’t keep him down.’
Noel is set to continue to perform this summer with his band The High Flying Birds, but will take a break in August to go on holiday before the operation.

The rock legend has made headlines recently for slamming Glastonbury festival for being ‘a bit woke’.
‘Don’t get me wrong, I f*****g love Glastonbury,’ he told The Sun.
‘I think it’s one of the most important things. In fact it’s probably the best f*****g thing about Britain apart from the Premier League.
‘It’s getting a bit woke now, that place, and a bit kind of preachy and a bit virtue-signalling.
‘I don’t like it in music – little f*****g idiots waving flags around and making political statements and bands taking the stage and saying, “Hey guys, isn’t war terrible, yeah? Let’s all boo war. F**k the Tories man,” and all that.
‘It’s like, look – play your f*****g tunes and get off,’ he complained.
