Oasis deny Noel Gallagher solo career

Oasis have denied that Noel Gallagher is preparing to embark upon a solo career, despite reportedly being signed up to perform at a number of festivals this summer.

Comments made on the band's official website claim that the guitarist will not be playing at the Glastonbury festival, instead using the summer months to write and lay down some new material for Oasis.

The statement reads: "Oasisinet wants to qualify a few stories running across various music and entertainment websites over the past few days that have been a little wide of the mark.

"Noel Gallagher is not preparing to launch into a solo career nor will he be playing at Glastonbury this June, as have been strongly suggested in some circles. He is an avid fan of the festival and will no doubt be on site checking out a few of his favourite bands again this year.

"Noel, along with Gem, have had a great time performing their semi acoustic shows recently and will continue to do so when it feels like a good idea, however Glastonbury is not on the agenda."
