Noel Gallagher wrote and recorded the lead vocals for "Don't Look Back In Anger" (Liam refused to sing, finding the song "too much of the Beatles" and "too soft," so he only entered backing vocals). The iconic piano riff was created by Noel at Rockfield Studios in Wales as a direct tribute to John Lennon.
Released as the fifth single from the album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, it reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart and spent 20 weeks on the chart.
