Gallagher to make solo album

Oasis member Noel Gallagher will take time out from working with his band to release a solo album.

Gallagher already has quite a few songs he is hoping to release in between tours. Contactmusic.com reports that the singer was inspired to go solo after he impressed audiences and critics alike when he performed the band's songs on his own recently.

He said: "I have actually got a backlog of songs that are slowly building up. The thing about a solo record is the time to do one is between Oasis world tours because you'd have a good couple of years.

"But it takes me so long to write the songs that eventually I run out of time, but I've got a backlog now of about four or five songs which are probably too far in the past as far as the band is concerned, but which could work on my record... it's coming."
