Overview
The 44-year-old joked about the scandal in an interview with US magazine, Details.
Admitting that he is comfortable with fame, the Manchester-born songwriter says: “I have to say I was absolutely crestfallen when the phone-hacking scandal broke here in England and my name wasn’t mentioned once.
“I’m not even worthy to have my f***ing phone hacked. And Steve Coogan is.
“It is f***ing over.”
Gallagher also says that he never had a problem with his celebrity status even when Oasis was at the height of their success.
“But I never understood people who bitched about fame,” he says.
“Even in the Nineties, when it was mad and there were photographers all around the house, it never occurred to me to send someone else out to get cigarettes.
“It took me five minutes – went for a walk, gave a wave, went back inside.”
