Mat Whitecross, director of the rapturously received Oasis documentary Supersonic, has apparently been privy to the bones of the new Liam Gallagher solo album and believes it to be ‘epic’.
Whitecross has told NME he was given an exclusive play by Gallagher in exactly the fashion we expect from him – aboard a helicopter.
“Well, I’ve got to say one of those bucket list moments in my life was when we got a helicopter to go the premiere, he just turns to me and goes, ‘Shall we listen to the new album then?’, then he pulls out these speakers and blasted it out as we were approaching Manchester.”
“It was epic. It just blew me away. I think everyone’s in for a treat. It’s fantastic.”
Gallagher’s first solo album is due next year and will be his first activity in the music world since the release of Beady Eye‘s second and final record BE in 2013.
