Noel Gallagher Would Write a James Bond Theme Song 'In a Heartbeat', Says He'd Be Honoured to Contribute Music for the Franchise.
Oasis legend Noel Gallagher has made it clear that if asked, he would "absolutely" write the theme song for the next James Bond film. In a recent interview with TalkSport, the songwriter stated that doing so would be an immense honour, and he believes British artists should be responsible for creating these iconic songs, rather than their American counterparts.
Gallagher expressed his enthusiasm for contributing to the franchise, saying "absolutely, yeah, of course. It'd be an absolute honour" when asked if he would want to write a song for Bond. The 'Mancunian villain' moniker also caught his attention, as he entertained the prospect of portraying such a character in the upcoming instalment.
It's worth noting that the history of Bond theme songs is extensive, dating back to 1962 with Dr No. Over the years, only a handful of British artists have had the privilege of contributing their music to the franchise. The likes of John Barry, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney and Wings, Lulu, Sheena Easton, Duran Duran, Adele, and Sam Smith are among those who have brought their unique style to the iconic series.
Although creative control for future Bond films is currently in the hands of Amazon MGM Studios, a replacement lead actor is still to be announced. The fact that Gallagher is available and willing to contribute his music has sparked excitement among fans and set the stage for potential future collaborations with the storied franchise.
