Noel’s people released a very vague statement. Something about "previous commitments" and "overseas engagements." Yawn. We’ve heard that one before.
Apparently, the High Flying Birds had a show. In Japan. Which is on the other side of the planet. Convenient. Very, very convenient.
Look, I love a good gig as much as the next bloke. But you can’t miss a best mate’s send-off for a gig in Tokyo. You charter a private jet. You make it work.

The Real Truth? He Probably Just Forgot
Let’s be honest. Noel Gallagher is famously aloof. He once forgot his own birthday. He might have genuinely glanced at his calendar and thought "Tuesday? That’s bin day."
Picture it. Noel wakes up, has a cup of tea. Glances at his phone. Sees 20 missed calls from Liam. Thinks: "He just wants to argue about Oasis again." Deletes. Goes back to sleep.
That is the most Noel Gallagher thing ever. He’s probably in his mansion right now, strumming a guitar, totally oblivious to the national panic.
