Gallagher posted an image to promote the concert on his Instagram and added, in Korean, "You are all living young and invincible, right? See you in the summer." His most recent performance in Korea was just eight prior, at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in southern Seoul in November last year.
Gallagher wrote and composed most of Oasis' hits, including "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova." He also played lead guitar and shared vocals with his younger brother, Liam. The singer-songwriter abruptly quit Oasis in 2009 after years of fighting with his brother, sometimes even on the stage. Since 2010, he has performed with a band as Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
Gallagher has shown special affection for Korean fans since Oasis' first concert in Korea in 2006. After last year's gig here, he posted pictures of the performance on Instagram, writing, "You beautiful bats! You are the best. See you next year. Stay Young and Invincible."
Noel Gallagher with Gibson to create a ’78 limited Les Paul custom guitars
Funds made from limited-edition models will be donated to the Who's Teenage Cancer Trust
Noel Gallagher has joined forces with Gibson to create a limited-edition run of Gibson ’78 Les Paul Customs.
In the collaboration, Gallagher has released 20 signed Gibson ’78 Les Paul Custom guitars – inspired by the axe originally given to him by Johnny Marr, and used extensively for both live performances and recording sessions with Oasis. It also famously appeared in the video for the song ‘Whatever’.
The 20 guitars will be available exclusively to in-person attendees on the official opening day of the new flagship store in central London (Saturday, February 24). Gallagher and Gibson will donate all profits from the guitars to the charity Teenage Cancer Trust.
“The Les Paul Custom that Johnny gave me in 1994 was always one of my favourite guitars and it carries a lot of history,” Gallagher said of the limited-edition run. “The reissues are great, they feel almost identical. I am delighted they are being sold to support the Teenage Cancer Trust.”
Gallagher’s ’78 Les Paul Customs feature a lightly aged Ebony finish by the Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab, and each is hand-signed by Noel Gallagher.
The singer, songwriter, guitarist and former Oasis legend teamed up with the iconic guitar manufacturer in celebration of the grand opening of the Gibson Garage in London later this week, and to raise funds for charity.
