But falling sales, an expensive divorce settlement, payments for his daughter, multiple-home ownership and running your own record label all add up. So much so that the Oasis guitarist/songwriter admits that he couldn't afford to sign up a band he loves to his label, Sour Mash. The 34-year-old star was mesmerised by New York- based outfit The Strokes when he saw them live. They've been hailed by fans as "the future of rock" and their debut album has gone straight in at No2 in the charts. But despite showering them with compliments andpleading with their manager, Noel later found that he didn't have the funds to do the deal. He amazingly confessed: "Yeah, I had a word with their manager, they're such an amazing group. But there just wasn't the money to sign them at the time so it didn't happen." Evidence that Oasis were tightening their belts emerged earlier this year when, instead of being chauffeured to studios in Buckinghamshire to record their new album, Noel and brother Liam, 28, slummed it on the train. Despite what had been an estimated wealth of pounds 40million they had been ticked off by accountants for overspending. Both men have had to deal with expensive divorce settlements after splitting with Meg Mathews and Patsy Kensit. Disappointing sales of their last album and a series of shambolic concerts suggested failing fortunes. But Noel has pledged that the new album - which should be finished within the week - will see Oasis return to their more popular roots. "I want to recapture the sound of our first album. We lost our way for a few years," he said. Noel, who is dating PR babe Sara MacDonald, also refused to quash rumours that the couple `are engaged. He laughed: "Let's just say we're really happy and we'll see what happens... you never know."
