Oasis legend Noel Gallagher got a tour of the USS Intrepid’s museum after a chance meeting with an astronaut, Page Six hears.
The “Cigarettes and Alcohol” star — who was in town doing a concert in Central Park with his new band High Flying Birds — was spotted at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum this week checking out a exhibit at the Space Shuttle Pavilion.
A source tells us that former NASA astronaut and Space Advisor at the Intrepid, Mike Massimino, is a fan of Gallagher and met him after the concert.
“Mike invited him and Noel was really excited to take him up on the offer,” says the source.
The space shuttle Enterprise — the prototype NASA orbiter that paved the way for America’s successful space shuttle program — is now on display at the museum with photographs, audio, and films, we hear.
The source tells us Gallagher “walked under the orbiter and explored artifacts,” and got to see the Enterprise “up close from the viewing deck.”
The Brit “Champagne Supernova” writer and his band played the park on Monday with Nineties “Stupid Girl” group Garbage.
On Saturday, they were unable to perform during their Saratoga Performing Arts Center stop due to a bomb threat.
Garbage Tweeted, “We have no idea what happened tonight. We were just all evacuated and we were concerned for everyone !!! I’m sorry we have no real information . We were just told there was an emergency evacuation!!!!”
Nothing was found at the venue and Pitchfork reports that New York State Park Police are investigating if a felony terroristic threat was made.
