Word on the street is Ricky loved this chaos. The Hitman had a wicked sense of humor. He’d find this hilarious.
Imagine Ricky up in heaven, looking down. He sees 10,000 people crying. He sees the Daily Mail doing a poll. He sees Noel’s name trending. He’s laughing his arse off.
Ricky once said Noel was the only rock star who could talk boxing. That is a massive compliment. But maybe their friendship was just… phone-based. You know how Mancunians are.
The "Mancunian Code" Theory
Here’s a spicy take. In Manchester, you don't always show up. You stay home, pour one out, and play the song. That is the code.
Noel might be doing a private tribute right now. He’s blasting "Cigarettes & Alcohol" on his stereo. He’s raising a glass to the Hitman. Alone. That’s more genuine than a crowded church.
The best eulogies aren’t spoken in public. They’re whispered into a microphone in a studio at 3 AM. That sounds like a Gallagher move.
