Liam Gallagher to play Oasis’ ‘Definitely Maybe’ in full next year for 30th anniversary

In what's set to be one of the biggest chart battles of the year, two iconic rock acts - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Foo Fighters - will be going head-to-head to secure the UK's Number 1 album next week.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have shared ‘Open The Door, See What You Find’, which features Johnny Marr – you can listen to the new single below.Released today (May 31), the track is the fifth to be shared ahead of Gallagher‘s latest LP with High Flying Birds ‘Council Skies’, which is out this Friday (June 2) via Sour Mash.The single is an optimistic, retro-inspired counterpart to its predecessors, and sees Gallagher rejoin forces with songwriter, composer and former Smiths guitarist Marr.Discussing the meaning behind the track, the former Oasis frontman described ‘Open The Door, See What You Find’ as being about acceptance, and the peaceful realisation that each person has to accept the route that life will pave out for them.“Lyrically, the premise is that, at a certain point in your life you look in a mirror and you see all you’ve ever been and all you’re ever going to be,” he explained. “It’s about being happy with that.

Last weekend was a huge one for the blue half of the city. There will have been plenty of sore heads on Monday morning after Manchester City celebrated winning their third Premier League title in a row. It is a feat only matched by Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in the modern era.

Noel Gallagher has responded to Matty Healy’s comments calling for an Oasis reunion, and described him as a “slack-jawed fuckwit”.The singer-songwriter was speaking in a new interview with Spin, promoting his upcoming High Flying Birds album ‘Council Skies’, when the topic of an Oasis reunion arose.It was here that he was asked what he thought about comments made by The 1975 frontman Healy, who argued that both Liam and Noel Gallagher needed to “grow up” and reform. He also claimed that they should bring the group back together because “there’s not one kid, not one person, going to a High Flying Birds gig or a Liam Gallagher gig that would not rather be at an Oasis gig.”While the comments ended up gathering a huge response online — and even provoked backlash from Liam Gallagher, who responded by saying “it’s our time to waste, who made him the boss of time?” — apparently Noel missed the commotion altogether and wasn’t aware of the singer’s comments until now.“Oh, that fucking slack-jawed fuckwit.

Matty Healy has been catching strays from all sides recently. The 1975 frontman continues to face blowback over some racially-tinged jokes on a podcast, with fans of his rumored new girlfriend Taylor Swift writing her an open letter decrying their unconfirmed coupling.

Liam Gallagher has blasted his brother Noel for calling him a 'coward' in an interview when asked about the chances of an Oasis reunion.

Liam Gallagher has responded to recent comments made by his brother Noel, accusing him of being too much of a “coward” to organise an Oasis reunion.Noel was speaking to talkSport radio this week, when the High Flying Birds frontman and former Oasis member discussed the possibility of the Brit-pop icons reforming — and suggested that blame should be put on Liam.“Well, I put it out there. [Liam] won’t call… I mean, he should call me, because he’s like, he’s forever going on about it.

Noel Gallagher has branded his brother Liam a 'coward' and 'disingenuous' for repeatedly getting fans hopes up over a potential reunion. Speculation of an Oasis reunion ramped up at the weekend after reports emerged of potential plans for the band to reunite at Knebworth in 2025.

Noel Gallagher has explained that his younger self wouldn’t be too happy about his collaboration with Blur frontman and former Britpop rival Damon Albarn.The former Oasis member reflected on his time working with Albarn in 2017 in a new interview with The Big Issue (via Music-News.COM).The team-up in question was when Gallagher contributed backing vocals to Gorillaz‘s track ‘We Got The Power’, which appears on the band’s 2017 album ‘Humanz’. “What would my younger self think of me working with Damon Albarn,” he pondered.“It would depend entirely on what side of the bed I got out of on that day,” he added.

We may be almost half way through the year (how, please?), but 2023 still has a lot in store on the new music front.

Sting has warned of an incoming “battle” between humans and Artificial Intelligence with regards to songwriting.The former frontman of The Police has spoken to the BBC about the increasing rise of AI-led songwriting, and how he believes it can never replicate songs written by humans.Sting added that the technological innovation “doesn’t impress me at all,” likening it to “the way I watch a movie with CGI”.The comments come in the same week that Spotify launched its AI DJ across the UK and Ireland, which recognises users listening habits and suggests new songs for them using artificial intelligence.The concept was first announced by Spotify back in February, when it unveiled its DJ feature, and described it as a “personalised AI guide that knows you and your music taste so well that it can choose what to play for you”.Last month, a UK band went viral after using AI to imagine what Oasis might sound like if they were to reform and release a new album in 2023.The eight-track album – dubbed ‘AISIS’ – was developed by indie band Breezer, who created their own tracks, then added an AI version of Liam Gallagher’s voice over the top.Elsewhere, April also saw Universal Music Group removed an AI-generated collaboration between Drake and The Weeknd from all streaming platforms, while Nick Cave is another to criticise the technology, saying that “ChatGPT should just fuck off and leave songwriting alone”.

Oasis singer Noel Gallagher has spoken out for the first time since splitting from his wife. Noel and his wife of 22 years, Sara Macdonald, 51, announced that they were divorcing back in January amid reports he had moved out of the family home. In a statement, a spokesperson for the pair told the Daily Mail: "Noel and Sara will together continue to look after their children who remain their priority.

Noel Gallagher has suggested the Covid pandemic played a part in the end of his marriage. The 55-year-old rocker revealed earlier this year he and Sara MacDonald are divorcing after 22 years together but he doesn’t think the situation is particularly uncommon for people of their age. He told the Big Issue: “When you get to your mid-50s, you do come to some kind of crossroads in your life.

Noel Gallagher has called Brexit a “fucking absolute unmitigated disaster” in a new interview.Back in 2019, Gallagher received criticism after calling out those who wanted the result of the EU Referendum overturned. Speaking to The Manchester Evening News, Gallagher said: “There’s only one fucking thing worse that a fool who voted for Brexit.

Ian Brown has shared a new horn-heavy track, ‘Rules’ – listen to it below.‘Rules’ is Brown’s second song to be independently released since his 2019 LP ‘Ripples’. The track follows the singer’s 2020 controversial anti-lockdown protest single ‘Little Seed Big Tree’.

LABELS & PUBLISHERSUniversal Music shareholders have agreed a new pay package for boss man Lucian Grainge, which will see his basic wage reduced by more than two thirds to $5 million. He will, however, be eligible for an annual performance bonus of $10 million, and is set to receive new stock options. So, you know, he’s not going to starve.

Here are the biggest albums yet to come for the rest of 2023,

Oasis guitarist Bonehead has claimed that a band reunion would be “worth it”, due to the impact it would have on the younger generation of fans.The musician — whose real name is Paul Arthurs — was hosting a Coronation Weekend special for the Radio X station yesterday (May 8), when he discussed the possibility of the band reforming.It was here that the former Oasis member, who was with the band when they formed in the early 1990s up until August 1999, told his audience that he would like to see them reunite for a live show. The main reason for this being because of how much it would mean to younger fans, who were never given the opportunity to see them play live.“Never say never, I would say,” Bonehead said when asked about the possibility of a reunion by presenter Toby Tarrant. “Realistically? I don’t know.

Oasis guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs has said that he wouldn’t accept a knighthood and neither would Liam Gallagher.Bonehead co-hosted Bonehead’s Bank Holiday on Radio X today (May 8), where he spoke about the Manchester band, his thoughts on a reunion and more.With the show being an addition to the schedule due to the bonus Bank Holiday to celebrate the coronation of King Charles, Radio X’s Toby Tarrant naturally brought up questions about the monarchy.Tarrant noted that “Sir Bonehead has a nice ring to it”, then asked the guitarist if he’d ever be on the honours list.“Probably got a good ring to it, but no I wouldn’t take it,” Bonehead said. “Not that I’m anti royal or anti-this, no I just wouldn’t do it.
