GALLAGHER WROTE FIRST THREE OASIS ALBUM ON DRUGS

OASIS star NOEL GALLAGHER has revealed the band's first three albums were all written while he under the influence of hard drugs.
The rocker admits he penned classics like Wonderwall, Supersonic and Live Forever after snorting cocaine.
He tells the upcoming issue of Spin magazine, "Before 1997, I hadn’t written a song without the aid of the old Colombian marching gear (cocaine). Don’t forget, I was on drugs before I was even in a band. The whole of the first three albums were written on drugs.
"I remember being off my nut and going into the back room and setting the goal of writing a song in 10 minutes - that was Supersonic.
"All those albums and all the B-sides were written on drugs. That’s why they’re so good. And that p**ses me off.
"I think, 'Maybe I should get back into taking drugs, and then it would be brilliant again.' But that thought lasts less than a second.”
