Noel Gallagher is recording a new Oasis album without Liam
Would you listen to it?
Noel Gallagher has given Oasis fans the news they want to hear, but not in the way they would have liked it.
The singer revealed that he was going to record a new Oasis album, but that his brother Liam wouldn’t be involved.
Noel and Liam have been locked in an ongoing feud ever since the band split 12 years ago, and fans have been calling for a reunion ever since.
But Liam won’t be contributing to the new album, which will feature 14 Oasis songs that previously didn’t make the cut.

Noel told The Sun: “I’ve listed the proper songs and there were 14. They just fell by the wayside of various projects from down the years.
“I’m going to record them. Some are quite old school.”
He added: “I was looking at the track listing and thinking, ‘Actually, f*cking hell, no I’d approach that song differently. It’s been very interesting.”
When the band split back in 2009, Noel released a statement saying: “It is with some sadness and great relief… I quit Oasis tonight.
“People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”
Since then, both Noel, 53, and Liam, 48, have continued with music, with Noel forming Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, and his little brother setting up Beady Eye before going solo.
The pair have feuded ever since, although Liam has occasionally fueled speculation the band could get back together, and as recently as New Year’s Day this year he tweeted: “Happy New Year Noel love you long time 2021 is our year c’mon you know.”
