I would beat Noel in chart war, says Liam Gallagher

Liam Gallagher has warned brother Noel not to start a chart war with him.

Liam Gallagher has warned brother Noel not to start a chart war with him.

The singer – who recently confirmed he is working on new material with ex-Oasis bandmates Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock – insists there is no bad feeling towards the group’s former guitarist but doubts his sibling’s solo record will be as good as his LP.

Liam said: “He's doing his thing, we're doing our thing, I wish him all the best. I don't wish him anything bad, I'm his brother. I love him to death.

“So long as you don’t release the same day as ours because we’ll have you.”

The ‘Live Forever’ star also revealed his new line-up are currently experimenting with new names but he is unsure about what moniker to go for as he will always be associated with Oasis.

He added to Sky News: “It’s me and Gem and Andy, we’ve got a new bass player who’s mega, we’ve got the old drummer, Chris Sharrock, who’s amazing, the old keyboard player.

“We’ve gone through a few names but nothing’s sticking so we’ve drawn a line under that for the moment but obviously people will go: ‘Oh they’re still Oasis.’ Life’s too short to worry about that s**t but I’m always going to be remembered as Liam from Oasis but we’ll see what happens when the record’s done.

“I’m doing my own tunes, whether they’re better than Oasis or not we’ll see.”
