Noel Gallagher has revealed to NME that when he once had the opportunity to meet Courtney Love, he chose to hide from her instead.
Talking about reading an interview she gave, Gallagher revealed: “I read an interview with her once and she said, 'I can't fucking believe this. I know everyone in London and I've never fucking met Noel - was he hiding from me?' And the answer is: yes,"
Gallagher then went on to detail the actual moment in which he hid from her, saying: “I was in a studio in LA and we were in the back recording [2005 Oasis album] Don't Believe The Truth. And reception called us as said 'Just to warn you: Courtney Love's just walked in. I knew Liam was running around in reception and I though, 'Brilliant, that's a fucking meeting of minds right there.' I could hear her shouting, 'Where's Noel? I gotta meet Noel!' So I grabbed a cig, exited out the back door and went straight back to the motel and locked the door. I was like, 'I can’t be dealing with her rowdiness - fucking hell, no way.' But I applaud her."
