Noel Gallagher 'recording in LA studio'

You Me At Six star Josh Franceschi has claimed that Noel Gallagher is working on new material in a Los Angeles studio.

The singer wrote on Twitter that the guitarist has been playing his first post-Oasis songs next door to him.

"Can hear Noel from Oasis blasting his new tunes from the studio next door. Absolutely mental," he said.

You Me At Six are currently in Los Angeles recording their third studio album, the follow-up to last year's Hold Me Down, NME reports.

Despite Last Shadow Puppets guitarist Miles Kane suggesting otherwise, Gallagher recently claimed that he had not yet started work on his solo debut.

His brother and former bandmate Liam claimed that he was lying, however, saying: "I reckon he's written it, man. He's probably going down that Radiohead thing - it's probably out already or something!"
