OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Styles’ music is inspired by “sadness and sex”.
The 25-year-old singer has written on all of the tracks from his second solo record ‘Fine Line’, which will be released next month, and said he took inspiration from his own life.
When asked by Jools Holland on BBC Two’s ‘Later… with Jools Holland’ what the album is about, Harry said: “Typical stuff really like being sad, having sex and stuff. It’s what everything’s about really.”
When Jools joked that he should change the name of his show to ‘Sadness and Sex’ as it is a common theme for popular music, Harry quipped: “but not sad sex, sad sex is … no.”
Jools also asked Harry about songwriters he admires and which songs he wishes he had written himself.
Harry answered: “All of them really but maybe ‘Right Down The Line’ by Gerry Rafferty. I just love it, it’s a groove. Or any Harry Nilsson song. Whenever I’m working on music, I listen to Nilsson a lot. He’s good at not taking it too seriously, which I think I need. I think I sometimes take it too seriously.”
‘Fine Line’ is the follow-up to Harry’s eponymous first solo record and he says the new album is “a lot more fun”.
He said: “It’s a lot more fun, I had a lot more fun making it. I think the first record, I was subconsciously making any fun songs a little bit. With the first one, I feel I was trying not to get it wrong a bit too much so I kind of feel like I was bowling with the sides up but I’ve taken them off now.”

OHMYGOSSIP — TLC have held “discussions” with Bruno Mars for a collaboration.
The ‘Creep’ hitmakers have previously expressed their desire to team up with the ’24K Magic’ hitmaker on a track, and now band member Chilli – whose real name is Rozonda Thomas – has teased that she and her bandmate Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins have spoken with him about a potential duet.
However, the pair – who were joined by late bandmate Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes in the chart-topping girl group, until her tragic death in a car crash in April 2002, aged 30 – want to make sure the song they record together is the “right” one first.
According to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, Chilli said: “We’re hoping we can collaborate with Bruno, discussions have taken place and we’re big fans.
“It would be a dream come true.
“We admire each other’s work. We’re all too seasoned to jump on the wrong record, though. It has to be right.”
The 48-year-old singer recently said a duet with the 34-year-old R&B pop star would “totally make sense”, and insisted they would never collaborate with anyone if it felt “forced”.
She said: “The type of energy he has on stage and with how fun he is, that would totally make sense.
“We’re definitely open to what makes sense.
“We like authenticity, not anything forced.
“That’s why we’ve never had many features at all in our career.
“Because we just don’t want anything to seem forced.”
Another artist the ‘Waterfalls’ hitmakers – who are set to return to London next June for their third only performance on UK soil – would like to team up with, is rapper Cardi B.
Chilli said: “I don’t like working with people just because they’re hot and you like them. It needs to make sense, the collaboration. But I definitely the right collab would make sense with Cardi B.
“Because she’s really bright and colourful like we are. So that would make sense to me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The Who have released new single ‘I Don’t Wanna Get Wise’ and unveiled previously unheard demos.
The former is the third single taken from the iconic rock band’s upcoming first album of new material in 13 years, ‘Who’, and follows the release of ‘Ball and Chain’ and ‘All This Music Must Fade’.
The band’s guitarist and chief songwriter, Pete Townshend – who recently described ‘I Don’t Wanna Get Wise’ as “a twist” on their 1965 hit ‘My Generation’ – said: “I wrote this in a mid-’70s style, like a song from an album like ‘Who By Numbers’. Warning: don’t get old. You might get wise.”
Meanwhile, ‘Got Nothing To Prove’ and ‘Sand’ are set to feature on the deluxe edition and triple red, white and blue coloured vinyl edition of ‘Who’ respectively.
The tracks, recorded in 1966, were “rejected” by the ‘Pinball Wizard’ hitmakers’ then-manager Kit Lambert, and Townshend – who is joined by frontman Roger Daltrey as the only surviving members of The Who – revealed he also offered ‘Got Nothing To Prove’ to fellow 60s’ group Jimmy James and The Vagabonds.
He recalled: “Both these songs are from the Summer of 1966 they would not have been rejected by the band members but rather by my then creative mentor, Who manager Kit Lambert. In 1967, when the song seemed destined for the bottom drawer, I did offer ‘Got Nothing To Prove’ to Jimmy James and the Vagabonds who used to support us at The Marquee in 1965.
“I remember playing him the demo at my house in Twickenham.
“They were still managed by Peter Meaden who had been so influential on me in particular in the short period he was our PR man in late 1964.
“Jimmy liked the song, and suggested making it more R&B, in a slower tempo, but nothing happened.”
Townshend feels that perhaps the song was shelved because he and Roger, who are now 74 and 75 respectively, were too young and not so “self-satisfied” back then.
He continued: “I have a feeling Kit may have felt the song sounded as though it was sung by an older and more self-satisfied man than I was in real life.
“That would have applied to Roger too I suppose.
“Now, it works. Back then, perhaps it didn’t.”
The pair got Oasis producer Dave Sardy took work on the recording and ‘Blue Planet’ composer George Fenton to transform the demo into a “Swinging Sixties” track that is tongue-in-cheek like the fantasy comedy spy movie franchise ‘Austin Powers’.
He added: “Dave Sardy and I decided to ask George Fenton to do a “Swinging Sixties” band arrangement to make the song more interesting, but also to place it firmly in an Austin Powers fantasy. I love it.”
The track ‘Sand’ needed some technical work and Townshend eventually “revived” it at his home studio and added some new instruments and vocals which “evoke the era”.
He said: “I have always loved it, but have been waiting for computers to get smart enough to fix some of the tape stretch problems that had affected the demo.
“I also revived this in my home studio by doing roughly what I felt the Who would have done had this ever been recorded by them.
“So there is added backing vocals, Rickenbacker, and acoustic 12 string, and a feedback section to properly evoke the era.”
The deluxe CD also features the tracks ‘This Gun Will Misfire’ and Danny & His Ponies’, both of which were recorded by Townshend in the sessions for their follow-up to 2006’s ‘Endless Wire’.
‘Who’ – which features album art by famous pop artist Sir Peter Blake – is released on December 6.
The Who embark on a UK tour with a full orchestra in Spring 2020, kicking off on March 16 at Manchester Arena, and wrapping at The SSE Arena, Wembley on April 8.

OHMYGOSSIP — U2 have released their first new music in almost two years, ‘Ahimsa’, with A.R. Rahman.
Bono and co’s spiritual new track with the legendary Indian music producer – who recorded ‘Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)’ with The Pussycat Dolls in 2009 – comes ahead of their first show in India, which sees them bring their acclaimed ‘Joshua Tree Tour’ to Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on December 15.
The song tackles non-violence (ahimsa) and aims to spread love.
Bono sings: “This is an invitation/to a high location/For someone who wants to belong.
“This is a meditation/On your radio station/If you like it you can sing along/Ahimsa.”
Rahman explained to Rolling Stone: “The concept of ‘ahimsa’ or non-violence — it’s Indian, it’s South Asian, it’s Buddhist … and sometimes we have to remind people about love, about ahimsa.
“It takes a lot of courage to be non-violent.
“It takes a lot of power.
“It’s not a weakness, it’s more power than showing might; it’s going beyond that, believing in something else which is not present … something that’s only in your spirit.”
‘Ahimsa’ is the first track from the Irish group since their 2017 LP ‘Songs of Experience’.
Meanwhile, guitarist The Edge, 58, previously said it will be a “tantalising” trip to India and he can’t wait to meet their Indian fans for the first time in their career spanning four decades.
He said: “For me [the most exciting thing is] actually getting to meet our Indian audience and see who they are – and visiting this incredible subcontinent for the first time.
“It’s going to be a frustration not being able to do so many things on a time constraint, but the chance to put your toe in the water is tantalising and exciting.”
Whilst frontman Bono, 59, admitted that he doesn’t expect the crowd to have the same raucous response to their show, because they haven’t “put in the time” to perform in the subcontinent before.
He added: “We have been spoiled over the years by the reaction of U2 fans.
“We’re used to walking out into a roar like a 747 taking off.
“And we earned that in this city [New York] or Boston – all across the United States, we played clubs, we played to a hundred people, two hundred people.
“We haven’t done that in India and we don’t have a right to expect that same roar.
“We haven’t put in the time. But we’re going, and we will try to be worthy of people’s interest in us.”
The show will mark the final of the ‘Vertigo’ hitmakers tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their seminal 1987 LP ‘The Joshua Tree’, which began back in 2017.

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams is still hoping to duet on ‘Fairytale of New York’ with Britney Spears in the future.
The ‘Angels’ hitmaker released his first-ever festive album, ‘The Christmas Present’ today (22.11.19), and he recently revealed he had hoped to get the ‘Toxic’ hitmaker on his “favourite” yuletide track by The Pogues.
Although Britney turned down the offer because she is on a break at the moment, Robbie is still holding out on making the duet happen.
Speaking to Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden on Heart Breakfast, he said: “My go to is ‘Fairytale of New York’ but I think you may have played that.
“But listen, check this out, I asked Britney Spears to duet with me on ‘Fairytale of New York’.
“She said no. What a lovely story.”
Jamie asked: “What did you do?
“Did you ring her or did she just not text you back, how did that work?”
Robbie replied: “She’s not working right now.
“She’s having a rest.
“Maybe it’ll happen in the future.”
Amanda then offered to step in for Britney, but Robbie responded: “We’re good Amanda.”
‘The Christmas Present’ was three months in the making.
The former Take That star told The Sun newspaper: “I’ve been celebrating Christmas for the past three years in March, July and August while I’ve been working on this project.”
He then quipped: “I’m a festive f***er.”
The record features duets with Tyson Fury, Bryan Adams, Sir Rod Stewart, Robbie’s dad and his young daughter Teddy.
The 45-year-old singer asked the 31-year-old boxer to sing on ‘Bad Sharon’, a song about a “boozy office party”, and he said the heavyweight “smashed it” in the recording studio.
The ‘Somethin’ Stupid’ hitmaker was also delighted to have both Bryan and Rod record songs for the album because they have always been inspirations to him.
He said of the pair: “People that I know, people that I like and people that I’ve got captive audience with that can’t say no in that moment when you ask them to do it. It’s easier on emails to say no.
“That was like two years ago and they’d forgotten but I hadn’t…’ me again’. They’re both really lovely chaps, incredibly nice people, incredibly nice with me and I look up to them and they’re the people I’ve gone, ‘Right OK, what happens to your career when you get older, where do you go? How do you do it?’ And I watch them for inspiration.”
Robbie – who will perform a festive show at The SSE Arena, Wembley, in support of the record on December 16, and Magic of Christmas at the London Palladium on November 24 – teamed up with his father Pete Conway on ‘A Wonderful Life’ and his daughter Teddy, seven, has a small part on the track ‘Home’.

He said: “We’re going to have to even it out.
“Since there wasn’t much time between these recent two records it’s probably going to be another 10 years.
“Mid-September 2028, so please come and see us now.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson feels “relieved” he’s finally releasing his solo album.
The former One Direction star released ‘Just Hold On’, his first single since the band went on hiatus three years ago but has only just announced his debut LP ‘Walls’ will be out in January 2020 and while he’s “happy and proud” of the record, he’s just thankful fans will finally get to hear it soon.
He said: “It’s a relief, I was used to One Direction having an album a year so I feel like it’s taken me a while, I’m really happy and proud with where I’ve finished up but just relieved to have the date out there and get close to release.”
And Louis is “raring to go” out on the road in support of the album.
Asked how he’s feeling about going on tour backstage at Hits Radio Live in Manchester on Sunday (17.11.19), he told the radio station: “I’ve gone through every emotion, I’ve been sat waiting for this moment for so long. I’m just proper excited now. Raring to go.”
Fans shouldn’t expect many collaborations on Louis’ album.
Discussing the subject, he said: “I always find this a hard question, I did a bit of collaboration with Steve Aoki and Bebe Rexha, but I’m just focusing on my own identity at the moment.”
The 27-year-old star has learned to trust his own instincts when it comes to his career.
Asked the advice he’d give himself before starting his solo career, he said: “I’d probably just say – and this is general advice to anyone starting something new – be bold and brave and trust your gut, there’s a lot of opinion around you but you have to be strong-willed and trust your gut.”
Simon Cowell recently unveiled plans for a new TV show, ‘X Factor: The Band’ but Louis – who shot to fame on the 2010 series of ‘The X Factor’ and was a judge on the 2018 show – doesn’t think they’ll find a group like One Direction.
He said: “No chance, [we] were a one off. I’m sure they’ll find some good talent but One Direction were special weren’t they?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Haim’s new track ‘Hallelujah’ deals with the passing of Alana Haim’s best friend.
The trio of sisters – comprised of Alana, Este, and Danielle Haim – first announced their new track on Thursday (14.11.19), and youngest sibling Alana has now opened up on the meaning behind the upcoming single, which will be released on Monday (18.11.19), as she says her late best friend Sammi was the inspiration behind the lyrics.
Writing in a lengthy note on Twitter, the 27-year-old musician said: “We have a song called hallelujah coming out on Monday. It’s a song about family, love, loss, and being thankful for it all. It’s hard to talk about my verse in the song but I wanted to open up about it so here i go…
“I went through a really dark time when I was 20. I woke up on a hazy October morning to find out that my best friend, Sammi Kane Kraft, had passed away in a tragic car accident. It was a loss that changed my life forever. Sammi was my everything, and coming to terms with the fact that she wasn’t here, that i couldn’t call her, i couldn’t hug her, I would never see her bright smile and sparkling eyes ever again broke me.
“Its strange but i started thinking about all the milestones in my life that she would never be a part of- like us wanting to celebrate out 21st birthdays in Vegas, or planning all the festivals we wanted to go to around the world, or knowing that when i walk down the aisle at some point she won’t be standing next to me as my main of honor.
“I had always wanted to pay tribute to her in some way and i could never put how important she was into words. It felt like there were no words in the dictionary to encapsulate how special she was. (sic)”
Alana went on to explain that she was thankful for her two older siblings for being by her side throughout the difficult time, and said Sammi’s passing has allowed her to realise how “special” her loved ones are.
She continued: “Losing her put a lot of things into perspective for me. I was so lucky to have my sisters at this time in my life. There was a point where they didn’t know what to do or say or how to help and them just being there as a shoulder to cry on or as an ear to talk to got me to slowly recover.
“I’m not the same, I’ll never be the same. The me before took love, friends and family for granted. Now there won’t be a day that goes by where i don’t tell everyone i love how special they are to me. Though I miss her everyday I know she’s still here sending me little messages, little signs everywhere i go. I always look up and go I hear ya Sammi Sam! Love love love love love you too.
“Hallelujah comes out Monday and I can’t wait for you all to hear it. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tove Lo says her new material is “more playful and even more vulnerable” than ever.
The ‘Cool Girl’ hitaker is known for her honesty and authenticity, and she took that to the next level on her fourth LP ‘Sunshine Kitty’.
She told Music Feeds: “‘Sunshine Kitty’ is a bit more playful and even more vulnerable at times.
“It’s a love record, and it’s also everything that comes with that; fear, vulnerability, being romantic, naive, happy, sad and all of the feelings you get when you’re in that space.”
The 32-year-old star – whose new record came out in September – is set to tour the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Blue Lips’ next year, and she’s been trying to find the best way to put the new material into her live show.
Revealing her set will run for almost two hours, she added: “I’m trying to think of the set as a ‘sunset to sunrise’ structure. I’ve built it in arcs.
“We start the show with some of the sappy songs that are more emotionally confident and hold pride, then go into this big dance section with songs that are a bit more club-focused and we’re even doing some remixes of old songs!
“Then I do some of the more vulnerable ones, stripped down, with just me on keys and guitar before going into the energetic ego pop part of the set.”
Meanwhile, Tove has been dubbed the “saddest girl in Sweden” in the past, but on ‘Sunshine Kitty’, she realised she had penned songs form a much more “calmer and happier place”.
She previously explained: “When I listen to it, I notice there’s still quite a lot of sadness there as well. But I think I felt that way because I was writing it from a calmer and happier place.
“I remember I was kind of like, ‘How do you write when you’re just in a good space?’ Like what do you grab your inspiration from?
“But it was cool to see that I don’t need to be in chaos to write, and that I don’t need to be unhappy to make good songs.
“I’ve always been quite vulnerable in my songs but I think the difference is there’s an acceptance now or like a love for being vulnerable instead of being angry about being vulnerable.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sheryl Crow says her Johnny Cash collaboration made her realise ‘Threads’ was her last album.
The country music superstar recorded ‘Redemption Day’ with the iconic singer shortly before his death in 2003, and she admitted being back in the studio hearing his voice from the demo in her headphones was a career defining and emotional moment.
Sheryl – who reached out to his family about releasing the tune – told BBC Radio 2: “The weird thing about it was, was recording it in the studio with his voice in my cans, it really felt like he was so present.
That’s what made me feel like ‘this is my last album’. I don’t want to make another sound. I want this to be the last, that leaves the taste in your mouth.”
As well as The Man In Black himself, ‘Threads’ also features appearances from a who’s who of music, including the likes of Stevie Nicks, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson and Keith Richards.
For the ‘Soak Up the Sun’ hitmaker, having such an impressive roster of collaborators was a big reason her 11th record will be her final one.
She said: “It’s one of the reasons that when we were half way through it, I told my producer Steve Jordan, I said ‘This is going to be my last album’. Because for me, there’s no way to follow it up!”
However, the 57-year-old singer’s fans needn’t worry, because she confirmed although she won’t make another full length LP, there will still be new material being released.
She explained: “Well, I think I will continue to make music and put songs out. I don’t think I’ll make full artistic statements because it takes a lot of time and people don’t listen to music that way anymore. They make song lists or whatever… I’m gonna be around, you can’t get rid of me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Slipknot are set to take their Knotfest festival out to sea with a new cruise next summer.
The ‘Psychosocial’ hitmakers – currently comprised of Corey Taylor, Shawn Crahan, Craig Jones, Mick Thomson, Sid Wilson, Jim Root, Alessandro Venturella, and Jay Weinberg – founded their annual festival in 2012, and currently takes place in five countries: the US, Japan, Mexico, Columbia, and France.
But next year, Slipknot are planning on expanding their Knotfest events with a unique cruise experience, which will depart from Barcelona, Spain.
The cruise will take place from August 10-14 2020, and will feature two performances from Slipknot, with a full lineup still to be announced.
In a teaser clip for the cruise, Clown – the stage persona of Shawn Crahan – can be heard saying: “Barcelona, a big-a** ship, and the sea. You, us, you’re not gonna want to miss it.”
Before the cruise, Slipknot will be taking part in their first Knotfest in Mexico City later this month, when they take their festival to Parque Deportivo Oceania on November 30.
They’ll then travel to Knotfest Colombia at the Hipódromo De Los Andes in Bogotá on December 6, before appearing in Japan between March 20 and 21 next year.
Meanwhile, Corey Taylor recently opened up about excesses in music, insisting he prefers to create music without drink and drugs, after hearing himself back on record when “loaded” in the studio.
He said: “I think it’s encouraged by the people who are actually embedded in that … They want people to think that it’s hard to create without chemicals. And that’s addict language, because I used to do that for me from a performing standpoint.
“I was convinced that I couldn’t perform if I didn’t have a Jack and Coke  –  at least one … And then that became two. And then that became half a bottle. That’s addiction. So I think that’s a myth perpetuated by addicts who are looking for people to reinforce their dependency.
“I have only been loaded in the studio twice, and I didn’t like it one bit, ’cause I couldn’t control anything. And then listening back to shit, I was, like, ‘Oh, this is horrible. Why did I do that?’ So, I’ve really tried to kind of kill that myth for people.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Garth Brooks became the first star to win the Entertainer of the Year prize for a seventh time at the Country Music Awards on Wednesday night (13.11.19).
The 57-year-old singer praised the spectacle’s co-host Reba McEntire, who presented the event alongside Carrie Underwood and Dolly Parton, as he picked up the accolade, and also tipped Luke Combs for huge success.
He told the crowd: “If they gave this award for this show tonight, I’d have to give it to Reba McEntire for her performance tonight of ‘Fancy’.
“And Kelsea Ballerini – if you want to know what an entertainer is, take a guitar and just a single voice in the middle of an arena and shrink a room … fantastic performance.”
And referring to Luke, who won Male Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year for ‘Beautiful Crazy’, Garth said: “Wherever you’re at, this has got your name on it in the future. I can tell you that right now.”
Kacey Musgraves was another big winner at the event, which took place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, as she took home the Female Vocalist of the Year accolade and Music Video of the Year for the accompaniment to her hit ‘Rainbow’. Speaking to the crowd while accepting her award for Female Vocalist of the Year, the 31-year-old star said: “Ultimately, I just want to say that I feel that the female creative spirit, female energy, it’s really needed right now. It’s really important.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus are to record another original song together.
The 20-year-old singer is open to the often-requested idea of him remixing the country crooner’s classic 1992 hit ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ but admitted they are first planning to do something else to build on the success of ‘Old Town Road.
Asked about the remix possibility, he said: “I’ve been getting that a lot. I’m down. But we’re going to make something original, I think, next.”
Billy Ray added: “I didn’t think anything would be at the top like that. But [‘Old Town Road’] has been a wild ride.”
The pair scooped Musical Event of the Year for ‘Old Town Road’ at the Country Music Awards (CMAs) on Wednesday (13.11.19) and were delighted the song – which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a record-breaking 19 weeks – had such a positive response from fans.
Billy Ray said: “We hold this in our hand. There’s really not anything we need to say.
“This song is about the fans and the people that love the song. It wasn’t really about people that had other opinions. It was for the fans. It wasn’t for the critics.
“It was a song that people sang, they danced, it was something that people could find in common with each other, and it’s been quite a ride to be a part of this phenomenon.”
Nas agreed: “I’m with him on that one.
I just want to say these performances have been amazing and just — I’ve been getting goosebumps all night.”
The 58-year-old singer admitted he’s grown so close to Nas, he feels like the rapper has become a “son” to him.
He gushed to ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I love this guy. He’s a good guy, he’s a good man, and also, he’s a genius. He’s a thinker. He wasn’t thinking inside the box, outside the box, he was thinking like there is no box, and that’s what I say to all the dreamers, anyone who has a dream.
“You live life, don’t try to fit into what’s the norm. You go outside, just be original. And that’s what this guy is, he’s an original.
“I’m so proud of him. He’s like my adopted son, if not my real son. I love him so much, and he’s just a great human being. I love being around him, being in the crowd, seeing how people gravitate to him and smile.
“He’s got an electricity and a charisma that’s contagious.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Noel Gallagher appears to have taken a veiled swipe at his rival brother Liam Gallagher, suggesting his new single ‘Wandering Star’ “sounds like it took 5.4 people” to make it.
The former Oasis guitarist released the new track from his upcoming EP ‘Blue Moon Rising’ on Thursday (14.11.19), and seemingly continued to mock Liam for using an “army of songwriters” on his solo records.
In a statement for the new track, Noel said: “It was written in Abbey Road last November on the same day I wrote ‘Black Star Dancing’.
“It’s that good, it sounds like it took 5.4 people to come up with it.
“It’s already a live standard and we haven’t even played it yet.”
Liam often refers to his “army of songwriters” after his bitter brother and former bandmate criticised him for working with the likes of producers Greg Kurstin and Andrew Wyatt on his tunes.
Noel fumed previously: “I’m offended by singer/songwriters who when you scratch the surface don’t do any f***ing songwriting. As far as I’m aware if you scratch the surface of any solo artist in Britain and they’ve all got a team of songwriters behind them apart from me, Paul Weller and Johnny Marr, I’m struggling to think of anybody else.
“Richard Ashcroft, our kid [Liam] all the way to f***ing Ed Sheeran and the little fella from One Direction, they’ve all got an army of songwriters behind them. (sic)”
Meanwhile, Noel, 52, recently scoffed at Liam, 47, for co-writing his latest LP ‘Why Me? Why Not.’ with Greg and Andrew and a handful of other musicians, insiting he finds it confusing how so many people can share a songwriting credit.
Noel – who is responsible for writing the majority of Oasis’ biggest hits – said: “I’ve heard ‘Shockwave’ – five people wrote that song by all accounts. Don’t you think that’s amazing?”
‘Wall of Glass’ hitmaker Liam often quotes his “army of songwriters”.
He once tweeted: “Biblical Wk in LA with my army of songwriters LG still got it x (sic)”
The estranged brothers have been at loggerheads ever since a backstage bust-up between the pair at their final concert in Paris in 2009, which resulted in Noel walking out on the band there and then, after his sibling slung his guitar at his head.
