Noel Gallagher has been spotted chewing on straws in the lead-up to shows, which left Oasis fans wondering. With Oasis back on stage for a number of sold-out shows, he and Liam Gallagher made their first appearance together in 16 years. Fans are only now learning about a peculiar aspect, though.

Noel, the 58-year-old songwriter behind hits like Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back in Anger, has been spotted chewing on a blue and white striped straw in public. Since then, members of the public have discovered why he continues to do it.

Gallagher chewing on the drinking utensil was spotted in a post to X, with fans asking why he is “chewing on that all day long.” Noel is constantly spotted with the straw, and it seems to be having an impact on his live performances because listeners have figured it out.

The straw is a “vocal straw,” according to some, and Gallagher chews on it to ease his vocal cords before performances with his brother Liam, 52.

It “does” the claim of one user. Another was added, “Blow inside, rest, and control the vocal cords and breathing techniques. “

And it appears that the fans were correct. After experiencing issues on his tour with U2 in 2019, the Manchester-native revealed that a doctor had advised him to practice his voice with a straw warm-up for gigs. On Funny How by Matt Morgan? He explained in a podcast that he had received his paper straw and said to “Half an hour before you go on, in your room, put some music on, and put this straw in your mouth and just hum along to whatever comes on and your vocal cords will warm up.”

Although I had some skepticism, it actually works. Usually, it would take me a few tunes to get into it, but now I’m just fine. “

Noel added that he now “carries them everywhere” now.

During the Oasis Live ’25 tour, fans have noticed a number of other subtly subtle details, some of which suggest that Noel’s guitar playing is improving.

The band also played a number of dates in their hometown of Manchester during the tour, which began in Cardiff on July 4. Following that, performances are scheduled in Dublin, Edinburgh, and London.

However, Noel’s performance on the guitar made the audience’s hearts sing as he did for the show. Fans claimed that he was “going better every night” of the tour and sounding relaxed.

Noel’s musical abilities appear to improve with each show, according to a fan. The fan, who was obviously impressed by the older Gallagher brother, commented, “Noel’s guitar playing is getting better every night.

“After seeing Anais’ [Noel’s daughter] Instagram story of her dad playing the Champagne Supernova solo last night, I couldn’t help but notice how Noel is seemingly getting better.

With the lack of lead guitar he has been playing since Oasis originally split up, “makes a lot of sense.” Playing solos once more, especially at Cardiff Night One (makes sense) definitely made him feel a little out of his element.

Fans have since come to terms with the High Flying Birds frontman’s claim that he appears to have become much more at ease onstage since Oasis’ first performance.
