Noel plotted solo career while in Oasis?

MUMBAI: Noel Gallagher has been accused of plotting his solo career almost a year before quitting his former rock band Oasis.

Amorphous Androgynous' Garry Cobain has claimed that he was first approached by Noel in October 2008, when he performed a DJ set at an after-party for one of Oasis' Wembley Arena gigs in London, to create an album with him away from the band, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"We first began talking about working with Noel on a solo album years ago," The Guardian newspaper quoted Cobain as saying.

"We had remixed the 2009 Oasis single 'Falling down' and turned it into a 22-minute odyssey, which he loved, and then he invited me to DJ at the after-party for one of Oasis's Wembley Arena gigs that October. That's when we began talking about a solo record," he added.

Noel quit Oasis after having a backstage bust-up with his brother and bandmate Liam Gallagher before a headline slot at a Paris music festival in August 2009 and released his first solo record, ‘Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds’, in October 2011.
