Gallagher 'will play live again soon'

Liam Gallagher has revealed that he is working on new material and planning to perform live again soon.

The singer said that he would be back on stage "within a couple of months" and also spoke about his brother Noel's departure from Oasis in August.

Speaking on Italian radio, he said: "I'll be back [playing live] within a couple of months. I've just done a tour, I always miss singing songs. I miss the people.

"We're sort of doing things at the moment. Not Oasis, Oasis is done. Everyone except for Noel [is working with me]."

He added: "To be quite honest, I think [Noel] wanted out. But you'll have to ask him when he comes in and does his little solo thing. We had an argument - but we've had bigger ones, about more important people. Basically, I think he wanted out, wanted something different, but he hadn't got the b*****ks to tell the band or the fans."

Commenting on rumours that he hit his brother with a guitar, he said: "I didn't smash [the guitar] on him, I wish I had, man. He sort of... treated my guitar poorly, which was a present off my wife. So I thought it was only fair to pay the compliment [back] so I smashed one of his."

He joked: "It sounds ridiculous, like a pair of old women."
