Liam Gallagher confirms plans for debut solo album as he signs deal with Warner Bros
Liam Gallagher has confirmed that he will be releasing his debut solo album next year.
The former Oasis frontman, who had previously denied that he would be releasing solo material, has signed a record deal with Warner Bros.
Gallagher’s comeback will be ‘big, bold and heartfelt’ and is expected to be released at some point in 2017.
“Very excited to be signing to the mighty Warner Brothers. Looking forward to making some super sweet sounds. Keep the faith,” he said in a statement.
Phil Christie, president, Warner Bros. Records UK, added: “Liam’s one of the all-time greats - brilliant, distinctive, controversial and captivating.
“The album he’s currently recording is big, bold and heartfelt, and it feels important and culturally relevant.
“It’s great to be working with Liam, Debbie and UROK on such a strong return for one of the UK’s most loved artists.”
Gallagher, whose band Beady Eye split back in 2014, recently teased a comeback by saying that he was embarking on a ‘dynamic new chapter’ in his career.
Earlier this year Gallagher slammed reports that he was pursuing a solo career, leading fans to believe he could be putting together a new band.
Responding to rumours, he wrote on Twitter: “Solo record are you f****** tripping d******* im not a c*** LG X.”
An Oasis documentary, produced by James Gay-Rees and directed by Mat Whitecross and Amy’s Asif Kapadia, will hit cinemas later this year.
“Just seen the trailer for oasis film i must say I do come across mighty fine super real unlike some people see you at the premiere LG x,” Gallagher tweeted earlier this week.
