Noel Gallagher has said he would “absolutely” write the theme song for the next James Bond film if asked, describing it as “an absolute honour”. The Oasis songwriter told TalkSport that while there had been no contact with producers, he would jump at the chance to contribute music for the franchise.
Gallagher, a long-time Bond fan, stressed that such theme songs should be created by British artists. “I think those kinds of things should be done by Brits, not Yanks,” he said, referencing the series’ history of iconic tracks.
The comments follow rumours that Oasis had been approached for the role, with his brother Liam responding to a fan on X in December: “It’s happening you wait till you hear it it’s the best BOND tune ever.” Noel also expressed interest in playing a “Mancunian villain” in the next film.
Only ten British acts have provided Bond themes across 25 films, including John Barry, Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney, Adele, and Sam Smith. The future of the franchise is uncertain after Daniel Craig’s exit and Amazon MGM Studios taking creative control from Eon Productions.
