You'd Be Hungover Just Listening To Noel Gallagher's Crazy Story About Partying With Bono

While the battle between whO is the bigger rock star rages on, it is clear that when it comes to partying, Bono trumps Noel Gallagher every time. Speaking to Christian O’Connell on the Absolute Radio Breakfast Show Gallagher told Christian O’Connell that he wasn't able to keep up with the U2 singers appetite for the sesh.

Let’s get to the hangovers on the tour with U2, brutal. A lot of people know it, but those guys, particularly Bono. We do the gig in Dublin and we go out after show. I’m staying at his house and we leave at half five in the morning.

The next thing I remember is my phone going and I’m in this place I don’t know. It’s him on the phone, and he says ‘Oh you’re alive, where are you?’ and I was like ‘Well I’m supposed to be in your house, but I don’t recognise it, where am I?’ I was in a guest house at the bottom of his garden right.

So he says ‘Oh you’re alive anyway, come on, everybody’s here waiting for you’ and I was kind of going ‘What for?’ He said ‘For the lunch I’m throwing in your honour, there’s 75 guests have arrived’. I said ‘I’ve only just got out of bed’. He said ‘Look the President of Ireland’s just arrived and you’re sitting next to him, so hurry up’. So I had to get showered, get up there ‘whey, ey’ and all that. The lunch started at three. Do you know what time it finished? Ten past four in the morning.

He was going, ‘Where you going?’ I was like, ‘Well, I was gonna go to Paris for this gig.’ He said, ‘No, stay here, come on a private jet.’ So we get on the jet, more boozing. This is the part of the story that kills me. More boozing, we land in Paris. He says, ‘Look, when the jet lands, I’ve got to go off and do this thing, so I’ll see you at the hotel.’ I’m like ‘Great,’ thinking once he’s out of sight I’m going straight to rehab; this is too much for me.

So he goes off, I get to the hotel, it takes me 20 minutes to find the remote control for the telly, another 10 minutes to order a club sandwich, with some guy who’s clearly neither French nor English on the other end of the phone. And as I was kind of sitting down I put on the telly and I’m flicking through, and there’s Bono doing a live press conference with the Prime Minister of France about Africa. And I know what we’ve been up to the previous three days and I’m going, ‘He’s not real man.’

Bono doing his nation proud, as always.
