Noel Gallagher blackliste in China, labelled 'Enemy of People'

Noel Gallagher recently made a surprising revelation that he has been banned from entering China, being labelled as an 'enemy of the people' by the country's government. 

Gallagher disclosed that more than two decades ago, he received a letter from Chinese authorities notifying him of the ban due to a concert he had performed in 1997 during Oasis' Be Here Now tour in New York.

The concert in question had expressed support for Tibet's freedom, a stance that apparently raised concerns among Chinese officials. 

He recalled that the letter he received from the Minister of The Interior or a relevant authority accused him of being an 'enemy' due to his perceived pro-Tibetan sentiments.

The 56-year-old musician and former member of Oasis shed light on his participation in the Freedom Concert held in 1997. 

He disclosed that the reason he agreed to take part in the concert was that no other members of Oasis were willing to do it. 

Despite not being the lead singer, Gallagher found himself on stage in front of 50,000 people, questioning his decision to be there.

As the younger brother of Liam Gallagher, the lead singer of the iconic '90s Britpop phenomenon, Noel did contribute his vocals to several hits such as Don't Look Back In Anger, The Masterplan, and Little By Little. 

However, he expressed surprise at being chosen to perform at the Freedom Concert due to his secondary role in the band.

The revelation about the ban from China came to his attention much later, after Oasis had been invited to perform in the country.
