Noel Gallagher has confessed it “would be an honour” for Oasis to be asked to record the theme song for the next James Bond movie but he’s admitted they haven’t been asked.
Noel Gallagher has declared it “would be an honour” for Oasis to record the next James Bond theme song.
The reunited rockers – who went back on the road last year for their Oasis Live ’25 Tour – were recently rumoured to be favourites to be asked to put together a title song for the next 007 film but Noel has admitted they haven’t heard anything from Bond bosses at Amazon MGM studios.
During an appearance on Talksport, Noel was asked about the gossip and he replied: “This James Bond thing? What, Oasis? Nah.”
When asked if he would be interested in recording a Bond theme, Noel replied: “What for Oasis to do it? Absolutely. Of course. It would be an absolute honour, and I think those kind of things should be done by Brits not Yanks.”
However, when he was asked if Bond bosses had been in touch, Noel replied: “Nah nah nah”.
He went on to joke: “I’ll play a villain. I’ll play a a Mancunian villain”.
The Sun newspaper previously reported Bond bosses were keen to get Oasis onboard to pen the theme tune for the next superspy movie.
A source told the publication: “The 007 films are one of the great British franchises. And who better to record the theme song than one of the greatest ever British bands?
“Liam’s swagger and Noel’s anthemic music would be perfect to soundtrack the new film. It is no secret that Noel is a big fan of the Bond films and he would love to have his name listed as one of the few songwriters of a Bond theme amongst greats like Sir Paul McCartney, Duran Duran and Adele.”
Noel previously admitted he’s already written a number of songs that could be used as themes for a Bond movie.
He told NME: “It’s a p*** take that the greatest British agent of all time has to be soundtracked by a bunch of f****** Americans. I’ve written a couple of Bond theme tunes.
“They haven’t got very Bond-esque titles, so I would have to tailor the title accordingly. The latest one that I wrote, I listened back to it thinking, ‘F****** hell man, that’d make a f****** great Bond theme’.”
