Noel Gallagher, the less scary half of the Gallagher brothers, has spoken out about his shock and surprise after a fan approached him at a gig with a very special message. The former OASIS band member is embarking on a string of gigs for his solo tour, and he recently wrote a blog entry detailing his delight when a fan handed him a letter after his set. The singer/guitarist claims he is used to receiving letters and gifts from fans after shows, but this was one offer that could prove to be very beneficial to the star, oo-er. Noel wrote,
"Right at the end... a blonde lady got up on stage, gave me a kiss, handed me an envelope and gave me the internationally recognised look that means, 'You must read this'. Nice envelope. Gold. With 'NOEL. X' written on the front. So far, so good.
"Now... back in the '90s a situation like this would've inevitably ended in a scenario that we'll have to leave to your filthy little imagination. So anyway, back in the dressing room I gathered round the envelope - not unlike the scene from that film Pulp Fiction... open up the envelope. A little note... 'Dear Noel..." Blah, blah, blah... Phone number... (Ok, get to the point woman!!).
"Hang on? Surely not... D'you know what she was offering? Free driving lessons!! FREE F**KIN' DRIVING LESSONS!! Eat that Coldplay... You might be (number) 1 in England AND America at the same time, but free driving lessons? That's where it's at, baby."
