Noel Gallagher was unable to perform with The Coral earlier this week because he forgot he was going on holiday, it's been claimed.

The Oasis guitarist had been widely expected to join the band during their acoustic performance at the Colliseum Theatre in London on Tuesday (July 29th).

But, according to the Mirror, Gallagher's girlfriend, Sara McDonald, had to remind him that “he wouldn't even be in the country on that day.”

Instead of Gallagher, The Coral were joined by Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds during their set, which pulled songs from their entire career.
