AceShowbiz - Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher, 57, is scheduled to have a knee replacement operation later this year due to arthritis. The source revealed that Noel is not happy about the surgery, as it is a sign of his increasing age and he finds it difficult to be bedridden, particularly if there is no football on television.
Like his brother Liam, 51, Noel Gallagher suffers from arthritis. Liam had a major hip operation in April and shared that he had been studying his old music videos during his recovery. Noel is expected to have the same sense of humor about his condition as his brother.
Despite their shared health issues, the Gallagher brothers remain estranged and have not spoken since their public feud and the eventual breakup of Oasis in 2009. Liam was reportedly asked to reconcile with his brother for their mother's 80th birthday.
Noel will continue to perform with his band The High Flying Birds over the summer before taking a break in August for his surgery. He has already purchased an exercise bike in preparation for his post-surgery rehabilitation. Noel confirmed the need for surgery on his podcast with his friend Matt Morgan, stating that he has "bad knees" and will have an operation on his "f**king knee."
Noel Gallagher's knee replacement is a reminder that even rock stars experience age-related health issues. Despite his initial reluctance, Noel is expected to bounce back from the surgery and continue his musical career.
