Oasis, Mojo magazine, 1994 by Gered Mankowitz

“Mojo magazine asked me to photograph Oasis for the cover. I thought they were a bit like a Beatles/Stones tribute band! I suggested that I did a new version of my famous Stones Primrose Hill session and the magazine liked the idea.

 When the band arrived at the studio they were in a foul mood and Noel stormed in and immediately flung himself on to a couch and fell asleep without a word to anybody. Meanwhile Liam had decided to kick anything he could, including the furniture, doors and walls, before settling down in the kitchen to drink and smoke.

 Fortunately I knew their tour manager, and after about an hour he was able to get them in front of the camera. Once the guys saw the first Polaroid they were completely on my side and we had a great session, but for a while it was touch and go!”

Pretty Green - mens clothing from Liam Gallagher

Earlier this month (August 17), Gallagher denied he had been working on new material with former Blur rival Damon Albarn and also ruled out the possibility of reforming Oasis to mark the 20th anniversary of the band's debut album 'Definitely Maybe' next year (2014), saying: "No, it definitely won't happen."

He did, however, confirm that he has started work on a new Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds album. "I've got tons of songs left over from the last one. I'm writing, putting stuff together. Yeah, I'll definitely make another one, that's for sure," he said. "I don't wanna go back out on the road, though - that's the thing."

The 'Don't Look Back In Anger' hitmaker described himself as an ordinary man who happens to have ''been blessed with a talent to write songs'' and slated the idea of making music for the approval of the press.

He told the Mail on Sunday newspaper's Event magazine: ''I once said that I wrote songs 'for the man who buys the Daily Mail and 20 Bensons [cigarettes] every day'.

''And I meant that at the time. I'd consider myself to be just an average man in the street who's been blessed with a talent to write songs.

''I don't write songs for The Observer or The Guardian, or for the NME or Mojo. I'm not bothered about pushing the envelope.

''I wanted everyone to like Oasis, not just some people in Oxford, a few people in Hull and a couple of people in Glasgow.''

The singer also admitted he prefers to let his songs come naturally rather than sitting around ''looking for'' inspiration.

He added: ''I learned long ago not to go looking for songs. If it comes, it comes. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

''I'm not standing on the runway waiting for the aliens to appear going, 'Come on'. It just never happens, does it?''

Pretty Green - mens clothing from Liam Gallagher

We always approach celebrity-designed clothing lines with some trepidation (case in point: Yoko Ono's crotch print collection for Opening Ceremony), but Liam Gallagher's Pretty Green label has gone from strength to strength. 

Masterminded by the man himself and design director Pat Salter, the collection returns this season with more of that trademark Britpop/Seventies hybrid style we've come to expect - patterned polo shirts, leather bombers and, our particular favourite, a deep velvet pea coat. If that wasn't enough, there's also a jacket based on the ones the Beatles wore at their 1965 Shea Stadium gig as a part of the brand's high-end Black Label collection - it's so good you'll scream like an adolescent American teenybopper losing their mind.

Available now. From £65. prettygreen.com

A big thank you to everybody who's been in touch to give messages of support for Gem following his accident. He and his family really appreciate it and so do the band. We are gutted about all the cancelled shows but thank you for understanding that we need to prioritise our mate and his recovery.

The good news is Gem is doing well so far and is expected to make a full recovery over the next few weeks. This is just to say thanks for your patience, and for all the messages that have come in from all over the world. We are buzzing about getting back on stage for the UK and Ireland dates in November.

Thanks, Beady Eye.

Noel Gallagher has once again dismissed the idea of Oasis reuniting, but added: "Who knows what will happen in 20 years?"

The star, who has released one solo album since the band's split in 2009, was speaking to Andy Goldstein's talkSPORT radio show about the new Premier League season when he was asked about an Oasis comeback.

"It definitely won't happen," said Gallagher. "Look, who knows what will happen in 20 years? But 20 years from now, I'll be what, 30, 40? No, I'll hopefully have retired by then."

Asked what it would take for Oasis to reunite, given Gallagher is already a multimillionaire, he replied: "If I felt like it. Yes, [it'll be my decision]."

The guitarist also spoke about plans for a second solo record, confirming that he has one in the works.

"I've got tons of songs left over from the last one. I'm writing, putting stuff together. Yeah, I'll definitely make another one, that's for sure. I don't wanna go back on the road, though - that's the thing," he added.

Of reports he is working with Blur's Damon Albarn, Gallagher revealed: "I read that Alex James said that - it's news to me!"

Liam Gallagher recently told Digital Spy that an Oasis reunion will happen if the "musical gods" want it.

"Me and our kid [Noel] still don't speak," Liam said, "Gem [Archer] and the lads still speak."

Guitarist Andy Bell added: "It will come down to a conversation."

Blur bass player Alex James has suggested his bandmate Damon Albarn and one-time arch-rival Noel Gallagher may be recording new material together.

Speaking to sziget.hu in the wake of Blur’s performance at the Hungarian festival, James revealed the pair in question are ‘working together on a lot of stuff’, but did not elaborate on what the potential collaboration could entail.

“Damon and Noel Gallagher are working together on a lot of stuff, so whatever was back then is not relevant anymore,” he said. “But we have to add that young bands today are all very nice. We were totally intolerable.”

Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn apparently put their well-publicised Nineties rivalry behind them after a chance meeting in London last year. Back in March, the reconciliation went one stage further when Gallagher joined Albarn and his Blur bandmate Graham Coxon onstage at the Teenage Cancer Trust concert series for a rendition of ‘Tender‘.

Beady Eye guitarist Gem Archer's mystery head injury was reportedly caused after he fell down a flight of stairs.

The axeman apparently took a tumble after he fell down a staircase in his home and fractured his skull, reports The Sun. As previously reported, Archer was hospitalised with severe head trauma following the accident on the evening of August 1. But the circumstances around his fall have not been revealed until now.

He has since been discharged from hospital but Beady Eye announced yesterday (August 8) that they have cancelled all of their scheduled live commitments in August, including performances at V Festival 2013, as Archer continues to recover from the head injury.

A statement on Beady Eye's official website reads: "Beady Eye regret to announce that they are cancelling their performance at V Festival and their remaining scheduled shows and promotional commitments in August due to guitarist Gem Archer suffering severe head trauma after an accident on August 1.

"The band apologise to fans, but under the circumstances feel they can not perform without Gem and want to focus on supporting him throughout his recovery. Gem was released from hospital yesterday evening and is recovering at home though remains under observation."

Oasis famously pulled out of the second leg of V Festival in Chelmsford in 2009 when Liam Gallagher caught viral laryngitis. The band split up a week later, meaning their show at V's Staffordshire site was their last.

V Festival organisers have confirmed that Beady Eye are still scheduled to play the event later this month (August 17 and 18).

The band have been forced to cancel dates in Belgium (August 5) and Summer Sonic in Japan (August 10) after guitarist Gem Archer was hospitalised with severe head trauma. The guitarist – pictured above second from left – was involved in an accident on the evening of August 1 and was taken to hospital. A statement released by the band last night (August 5) revealed that Archer is in a stable condition but will stay in hospital under observation for the time being.

While it remained unclear whether the band would still appear at V Festivals in Staffordshire and Chelmsford later this month (August 17 and 18), organisers of the event have told NME that at present, the band's set will still go ahead. "Unless they hear otherwise they're still playing," a spokesperson for the festival's promoters said.

Speaking about playing the gig to NME earlier this year, Liam Gallagher: revealed: "I like V Festival, it's good man. I've got unfinished business there this time so I wanted to do that. I want to get back there and smash its head to fucking pieces man, let people know we’re the bollocks."

Oasis famously pulled out of the second leg of V Festival in 2009. Having played the Staffordshire site, they pulled out of Chelmsford after Liam Gallagher caught viral laryngitis. Oasis split up a week later and it would be their last gig. In July 2011, Noel Gallagher claimed that the gig was cancelled because Liam was hungover – a claim Liam then tried to sue him for. He dropped the legal action a couple of weeks later after Noel apologised.

Liam told NME earlier this year about the spat: "Noel was going round saying all that shit about me not being in bed pissed up, didn't do a gig and all that at V Festival and it was bollocks, saying I wanted to sell Pretty Green merch and it was like, 'Look, you'd better wind your neck in or I'm going to get the fucking lads on you'. He was going, "Bring it on, dickhead". So I was like, 'There you go, there’s a lawyer'."

 The greatest songwriters of all time:

 Singers and bands may come and go, but a great song can stick around forever. It’ll be played endlessly on the radio, covered by different artists and in all manner of styles, and murdered by fame-hungry TV talent show contestants.

We should celebrate, then, the people who craft these songs - the writers who spend hours honing their skills and coming up with the hooks, melodies, chord progressions and lyrics that stick in our heads. They’re motivated by all manner of different things - love, hate or maybe just cold, hard cash - but they all have the ability to take an idea and turn it into a great tune that resonates with its audience.

 MusicRadar asked users to nominate the greatest rock and pop songwriters of all time and then put these nominations to the vote. The result is the massive gallery of great songwriters that follows

 1. John Lennon & Paul McCartney
2. Bob Dylan
3. Queen
4. Neil Young
5. Kurt Cobain
6. Bruce Springsteen
7. Roger Waters & David Gilmour
8. Noel Gallagher
9. Radiohead
10. David Bowie
11. Paul Simon
12. Jimmy Page & Robert Plant
13. Brian Wilson
14. Morrissey & Johnny Marr
15. Joni Mitchell
