Oasis Was A S**t Name Anyway

Liam Gallagher has confirmed he has ditched the band's name, following the departure of his brother Noel.

Noel walked away from the group during their European tour last year, following a series of bust-ups with his sibling.

The younger Gallagher brother is now assembling his remaining bandmates to begin work on a new album, and he's promising fans a new name too.

Liam tells radio station XFM, "No, it's not Oasis.That was a s**t name anyway. I'm glad to see the back of it.

"There's a name that we're digging at the moment, but we're going to get on with the music and see how it goes."

He's refusing to reveal the new name - but promises fans won't have to wait long to see the 'new Oasis' in action: "We'll be on stage this year - without a doubt. We're halfway through the record - the demos, that is.

"We're in the studio this April to see if this producer works out. If he does, we'll crack on with the album through June and July."
