> 2017 The festival air hummed with the static of amplifiers and crowd noise, but Noel Gallagher stood apart, a rock icon adrift in the VIP throng. His grey hair and heavy brows were as much a signature as his guitar riffs.

He’d publicly dismissed her as not his style—a classic rockstar put-down—but in private, the echo of her performance haunted him. Now, sharing the festival bill, his strategy was pure avoidance. Each glimpse of her stage in the distance felt like a challenge to his carefully constructed indifference. He was a married father, a legend in his own right, but she had become an obsession he couldn’t shake.
