Liam Gallagher has teased that his upcoming joint album with John Squire will be “the best record since The Beatles‘ ‘Revolver'”
The former Oasis singer teased the idea of the pair collaborating last June, when he brought out the former The Stone Roses guitarist for his Knebworth shows to perform the 1995 Oasis classic ‘Champagne Supernova’. “Super group incoming LG JS,” read one of Gallagher’s tweets at the time.
Last September, while speaking in an interview with Matt Wilkinson on Apple Music 1, Gallagher confirmed that the pair are “definitely” going to work together.

In response to Wilkinson’s request for an update, Gallagher said: “Yeah. Serious, man. But we’ve got things to do first, and he’s got things to clear up and that. But yeah, I’m definitely going to do summat at some point.”
He also recently teased that his new album – the follow-up to 2022’s ‘C’Mon You Know’ – is now complete.
Yesterday (October 23), the singer took to X/Twitter to respond to a fan’s tweet asking if they can expect to see the joint record released next year. He responded with: “It’s the best record since revolver”.
Another fan responded to Gallagher’s tweet calling it a “big statement” to make to which the singer replied: “What’s coming your way is bigger I’m being humble it pisses all over it”.
The Beatles’ 1966 LP ‘Revolver’ featured tracks ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and ‘Yellow Submarine’ and reached the Number One spot on the US, UK, Swedish, Canadian, German and Australian charts upon its release.
Speaking of the iconic album, NME said: “It’s inarguable that ‘Revolver’ was the true game-changer. The Beatles’ seventh album kicked down the door to the ‘60s counterculture; leading fans through it by their clammy hands, and inviting them to turn off their minds, relax, and float downstream.”
In other Gallagher news, the singer added more dates to his 2024 ‘Definitely Maybe’ tour.
He previously announced that he will embark on a tour of the UK and Ireland next summer to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band’s 1994 debut album.
It appears that ex-Oasis guitarist Bonehead will be joining him on the tour following his solo projects and previous cancer scare – he’s since been given the all-clear. However, Liam later stated said that brother and former-bandmate Noel Gallagher turned down the offer to take part in the upcoming dates.
Although not taking part in the tour, Noel did confirm plans for a 30th anniversary reissue of the seminal album to mark the occasion.
