Speaking about his new music in an interview in this month’s edition of Q, Gallagher said his new songs contained both flair and attitude.

“The melodies are sick and the words are f**king funny,” he said. “[It] sounds well tasty. You won’t be scratching your chin. It’s not Pink Floyd and it ain’t Radiohead. It’s chin-out music.”

“I am not embarking on a solo ‘career,'” the Britpop icon said, refusing to say he’s a solo artist.

Responding to the news and his previous comments, Gallagher said it bluntly on Twitter: “It’s official I’m a c**t LG x.”
