In an interview, the Oasis guitarist talked about meeting Bowie for the first time and admitted he has “no recollections whatsoever” of their conversation.
He said, “I went to see David Bowie and Morrissey at Wembley Arena in the 90s. I was high and p*ssed. Then, before Bowie came on, somebody came up to me and said, would you like to come and meet David? [So] I was taken to see David Bowie in his dressing room. I have no recollection of it whatsoever. I remember walking in and he was putting on make-up in a mirror and that’s it.”
Gallagher went on to say, “He’s up there with John Lennon for me and I have no idea what we said when I met him. If I could go back I would appreciate it so much more. I’d tell him what he meant to me growing up and how much he means to me now, and I’d tell him, ‘I’m gonna rip you off to f*ck when you’re dead, you know.”
