WHILE relations are now thawing between Liam and Noel Gallagher, an OASIS reunion is still a long way off.
I can reveal that frontman Liam is heading into the studio this summer to start work on his fourth album.

The singer will be joined by regular songwriting partners, producers Greg Kurstin and Andrew Wyatt, who are wizards at translating his ideas into sweet sounds.
A source said: “Even though Liam is on better terms with Noel, he is still focused on his solo material and has another record in him before he can think about an Oasis reunion.
“He’s been in a great headspace and the creative juices are flowing. He can’t wait to get back in the studio again.”
Discussing his relationship with his producers, Liam said previously: “It’s easy, man. I thought it’d be a lot harder. We just get in and do what we’ve got to do.
Olive branch
“We don’t mess about. I’d love to be able to write a whole album but that’s just not the way it is.”
Liam will be feeling refreshed too, having just returned to the UK after a first trip to his new luxury holiday villa in the South of France, formerly owned by Noel Edmonds,
I revealed this month that Liam has extended an olive branch to Noel after his split from missus Sara MacDonald earlier this year following 22 years together.
The pair are reportedly planning to watch their beloved Man City.
Noel is also busy with his own solo music.
He has been promoting new album Council Skies in Milan.
Last week Noel revealed next year’s 30th anniversary reissue of Definitely Maybe would include a host of previously lost songs, but he insists the band will not be touring.
He said: “We’ve found tapes dating to those sessions.
“We thought they were lost but they were mislabelled.
“They are wonderful versions of those songs, some acoustic versions.
“There won’t be a tour. We won’t come back to play them together.”
Never say never . . .
