Noel Gallagher to join Johnny Marr on stage at Brixton Academy?

Noel Gallagher is rumoured to be joining Johnny Marr on stage at his massive gig at London's Brixton Academy on Thursday (23 October, 2014).

It would make perfect sense. The Manchester legends are longtime friends, and Marr features on the closing track of Gallagher's new album Chasing Yesterday, 'Ballad Of The Mighty I'.

"I tried to get him to play on the last album but it never happened," said Gallagher. "So when I put this track together and knew he would be perfect for it I called him and asked if I could send him the rough mix. He said: ‘No, I don’t want to hear it. I’m just going to react to it on the day.’ He didn’t even want any pointers. Well, that was brave of him. He just arrived with two guitars and a bag of effects pedals. And I have to say, he’s unbelievable. He’s way up there, on another level to the rest of us.

He added: "The result is a burst of energy that helped make Mighty I one of the best songs I’ve ever written."
