Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher revealed that taking cocaine “every night in the 90s” gave him “brutal panic attacks” and left him in the hospital with psychosis. In a new episode of Matt Morgan’s Funny How? podcast he opened up about his drug use in the past. He once feared that he would die after being rushed to the hospital in America in the 90s.

“I did have to check into hospital once. Imagine having the psychosis and having to have to go to hospital. They don’t understand a word you’re saying because of your accent and you’re like ‘I think I am on my way out’”, Gallagher recalls. “I had a few brutal panic attacks, which is why I quit.” He ended up quitting cocaine by going to Thailand in 1998 to take a month-long break with his then-wife Meg Matthews. He managed to stay off the drug after his trip.

The confession comes after he told the Irish Independent during an interview last year that “you know that when coke comes out the night is going to take a shit turn.” He told the newspaper that he finds people taking cocaine boring: “It’s always like fun and games and once someone gets the coke out then all of a sudden it’s ‘well, it’s time for me to go anyway, because this is now boring’ ”.

The new revelations come up after he just recently surprised Oasis fans by releasing the unheard demo “Don’t Stop” which he re-discovered in a box of CDs at home. Gallagher also admitted that he’s been “panic buying booze” during the lockdown to cope with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. “Now that the pubs are shut the only thing to do now is to drink your way through it.”

We’re curious to see what Noel Gallagher is going to reveal next during these strange times.
