25th February 2005 No show for Noel on Conan O'Brien show. According to The Sun today, Noel Gallagher failed to appear on the US chat show, Late Night With Conan O'Brien after he failed to get to Heathrow on time and subsequently missed his flight to New York, leaving Ian Brown to perform 'Keep What Ya Got' with his usual line-up. The Sun goes on to say how US viewers were disappointed and even found a source from the show who admitted, "It was all a bit embarassing". Some kind chap, going by the name of Ben who posts on the official Ian Brown forum managed to capture the performance and upload it for all to see. Head over to the official IB forum to see the video.
