Noel Gallagher has reportedly donated all profits from ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ to the We Love Manchester campaign |
The 50-year-old rocker has been criticised by his brother Liam for failing to perform at the benefit gig at the Emirates Old Trafford on Sunday (04.06.17) for the victims of the recent terrorist attack in the city.
But rather than performing at the event in Manchester, Noel has instead reportedly decided to donate the profits from the hit song, which has become an anthem for the city.
Noel has not personally confirmed whether the report is true, but he has retweeted an article making reference to his supposed gesture on iNews.
The row over Noelโs absence from the gig was initiated by Liam, who took to Twitter to apologise for his brother failing to appear at the event.
He wrote on the micro-blogging website: โWhat an amazing night last night pure love vibrations nobody comes close to Manchester love forever LG x
โOh and if anybodyโs seen rkid tell him he can come out now as you were LG x โManchester id like to apologise for my brothers absence last night very disappointed stay beautiful stay safe LG x
โNoels out of the f***ing country werenโt we all love get on a f***ing plane and play your tunes for the kids you sad f**k.โ
However, itโs since been claimed that Noel wasnโt actually invited to perform at the event in Manchester.
A source said: โNoel has been getting a real bashing for not being at the gig, which is totally out of order. Heโs been hugely supportive of the cause but hasnโt gone public as, in his mind, itโs not about him.
โThe fact he wasnโt asked to even perform at any point by any of the organisers makes a mockery of Liamโs claims.โ
