In a recent interview with Q Magazine about the record, Liam insisted: "I am not embarking on a solo 'career'. Everyone should know that. There are just 10, 11 songs I've written that are eligible to be recorded.

"They've got flair, attitude, the melodies are sick and the words are fucking funny. We'll record them this year and release it next year. It'll shock people. It's a record written by me, that's got all the right ingredients and sounds well tasty. You won't be scratching your chin. It's not Pink Floyd and it ain't Radiohead. It's chin-out music."

Since Oasis' disbanded in 2009, Liam has scored two Top 5s on the Official Albums Chart under Beady Eye, his band made up of former Oasis members, minus his brother Noel Gallagher. Click here to check out Beady Eye's full Official UK Chart history.
