Noel Gallagher: Recording a James Bond Would Be an "Honour"

Following his brother Liam’s recent antics on social media, Noel Gallagher has officially entered the 007 discourse. Speaking on TalkSport with Andy Goldstein on January 6, 2026, the Oasis mastermind confirmed that while he hasn’t been formally approached by Eon Productions or Amazon MGM, he is more than ready to step into the world of international espionage.

"Absolutely, yeah, of course," Noel said when asked if he would take the job. "It'd be an absolute honour. I think those kinds of things should be done by Brits."

"Brits, Not Yanks"

In true Gallagher fashion, Noel didn't miss the chance to take a playful swipe at the franchise’s recent musical history. Referencing the fact that the last three Bond themes were recorded by Americans (Billie Eilish) or featured American involvement, he doubled down on his belief that a British icon belongs on a British soundtrack.

“I think those kind of things should be done by Brits, not Yanks,” he remarked, adding that he’s been a fan of the series his entire life.

The "Freaky Teeth" Factor

This isn't just a sudden whim for Noel. He has previously admitted to having "Bond-esque" songs sitting in his vault for years.

• The "Psychedelic" Track: Noel once revealed he wrote a song called "Freaky Teeth" which he believed would make a "f***ing great Bond theme," though he joked it might require a particularly psychedelic 007 film to match the vibe.

• The Villainous Pivot: During the same TalkSport interview, Noel joked that if the music doesn't pan out, he’d be happy to make his acting debut as the franchise's first "Mancunian villain."

What’s the Story with "Bond 26"?

The rumors regarding Oasis and Bond reached a fever pitch in late 2025 after Liam Gallagher responded to a fan query on X, claiming: "It's happening you wait till you hear it it's the best BOND tune ever."

While Noel’s interview has since clarified that no official deal is in place, the timing is perfect:

• Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders): Confirmed in late 2025 as the screenwriter for Bond 26.

• Denis Villeneuve (Dune): Heavily rumored to be at the top of the director's wishlist, with an eye on a 2028 release.

• The Casting Hunt: Reports suggest the search for a "fresh-faced" Bond in his late 20s or early 30s will begin in earnest throughout 2026.

The Current Status of Oasis

Having just wrapped up their historic Oasis Live '25 reunion tour in South America, the brothers are reportedly taking a break from live performances for most of 2026. However, Noel recently teased that he is "back at work" in the studio, fueling rumors that new music—perhaps even a certain spy-themed anthem—could be on the horizon.
