The first album from the former Oasis singer and The Stone Roses guitarist John could become Liam’s sixth No 1 LP under his own name. As a member of Oasis, Liam has had eight UK No 1 albums. Should Liam Gallagher & John Squire hit No 1, it’ll become Squire’s first chart-topper, with The Stone Roses currently on four UK Top 10 albums.
Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson is currently at No 2 with his seventh solo record The Mandrake Project. His first full-length release since 2005, the LP could become Dickinson’s first Top 10 release as a solo artist.
Liam Gallagher said in a statement when the album was announced, “I can’t wait for people to hear the album. I think the people that are into the Stone Roses and Oasis and that kinda thing, I think they’ll fucking love it. It’s spiritual, it’s crucial. LG x”.
John Squire added: “It was really inspiring to have those Knebworth gigs fresh in my mind as I started writing. Then it was a case of trying to steer it away from all being too rocky, and trying to mix up the sentiments as well. I like the way that in some parts, it’s quite melancholic and it can make you well up, but there are other parts that are kind of irreverent, rude or crude. There’s a little bit of everything in there, I think it’s a really good mix. I had a hunch that we’d sound good together, but I wasn’t prepared for it to be such a good fit.”
