Noel Gallagher has said that he hopes his brother Liam and his bandmates in Beady Eye continue to play Oasis songs live as he's quite happy to pick up the royalties.

Beady Eye performed two Oasis songs - 'Rock 'N' Roll Star' and 'Morning Glory' - during their recent gig in Warrington and at Heaton Park supporting The Stone Roses and have vowed to continue to do so in all their future live shows.

Speaking in The Sun today (July 11), Noel said he hopes Beady Eye carry on playing the songs as long as they make sure they fill out PRS royalty forms after they do.

He said of this: "Beady Eye have my permission to play my songs and they should do whatever they like. I say he should go around the world, do those songs and fill out the PRS forms."

Beady Eye are booked to play this summer's Fuji Rock Festival in Japan and are currently working on new material for their second album.

Here's a quick YouTube clip of Beady Eye finally performing Oasis songs!

The Killers new song 'Runaways' -

The track is the first to be taken from forthcoming album 'Battle Born'

The Killers have unveiled their brand new single, 'Runaways'.

The track received its first official play on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show earlier this evening (July 10) and is now available to listen to online.

Scroll down to hear the track, which is a typically epic offering from the Las Vegas band, a heartland electro rocker complete with soaring chorus.

Speaking to Lowe, Killers frontman Brandon Flowers admitted that he checks online to see what the reaction to his songs is like. Of 'Runaways', which had leaked earlier in the day, he said: "I'm guilty of checking, seeing what the scoop is. I want people to like it, so I'm kind of curious as to what the reaction is."

He added that he was confident that the song would go down well with fans, saying: "I've always felt good about this song. It's exciting to think that we're gonna be playing again – we want people to hear this new stuff."


The Killers's new studio album 'Battle Born' will be released on September 17. A series of producers worked on the album, including Madonna collaborator Stuart Price, Steve Lillywhite, Damian Taylor and Brendan O'Brien. It is the band's first album for over four years.

Songs confirmed to appear on the album include 'Heart Of A Girl', 'Flesh And Bone' and 'Carry Me Home'. Brandon Flowers said to Lowe of the album title: "Whenever I needed help lyrically, I thought of that phrase and it helped me… There's some triumphant moments."

The Strokes have begun work on the follow-up to 'Angles', NME can confirm.

The band, who were last in the UK to headline last summer's Reading And Leeds Festivals, were reported to have been working on new material at the famous Electric Lady Studios in their home city of New York earlier this month, but this was quickly denied by their management and record label.

However, in this week's NME guitarist Albert Hammond Junior's father Albert Hammond Senior has revealed that the reports are true and the band are in fact working on their fifth studio album.

Asked if the band were recording, Hammond Senior said: "Albert says that the stuff they're doing is incredible. They're doing it themselves with their friend, engineer and producer. He just says 'Dad, it's incredible'."

Then asked if he thought it would sound different from 'Angles', he said: "I don't think they'll go in a wildly different direction. Obviously the songs will be different, but I think The Strokes are The Strokes; they always will be The Strokes."

Radiohead Cancel Shows, Release Statement On Stage Collapse

Jun 21st 2012

Radiohead will cancel seven European shows in response to last weekend’s tragic stage collapse in Toronto. Their official statement, via Dead Air Space:

Hello everyone,
As you will probably have heard the roof over the stage collapsed at our show in Toronto killing crew member Scott Johnson and injuring three other crew members. The collapse also destroyed the light show – this show was unique and will take many weeks to replace. The collapse also caused serious damage to our backline, some elements of which are decades old and therefore hard to replace.
Whilst we all are dealing with the grief and shock ensuing from this terrible accident there are also many practical considerations to deal with & consequently we have to try and reschedule the following shows:
June
30 Roma Hippodrome Capanelle
July
1 Firenze Parco delle Cascine
3 Bologna Arena Parco Nord
4 Codroipo Villa Manin
6 Berlin Wuhlheide
7 Berlin Wuhlheide
9 St Triphon Carriere des Andonces
We aim to announce the new dates for these shows on Wednesday 27th of June and will also supply information on how to obtain refunds on tickets if you cannot come to the show on the new date.
We will start playing live again at Les Arenes Nimes, Bilbao BBK festival and Lisbon Optimus Alive festival.
We will make every effort to offer the fans the very best show possible under the circumstances – thanks for your understanding and support.

We’ll keep you posted next week when those shows are rescheduled.

Noel Gallagher has debuted his new video for 'Everybody's On The Run', which features The OC actress Mischa Barton getting her dress stolen. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to watch the video.

The video, which is set in Los Angeles, stars Gallagher as a taxi driver who picks up Mischa Barton and drops her off, only to drive off with her dress stuck in the door, leaving her forced to chase after him in her underwear.

The track itself will be released on August 6 and will be accompanied by a new remix of Gallagher's previous single 'AKA...What A Life!' by the Amorphous Androgynous.

The mix follows the band's previous reworking of 'If I Had A Gun', which was retitled 'Shoot A Hole Into The Sun' and appeared on previous single 'Dream On'. Gallagher is currently working on an album with the band which he recently revealed to NME, will come out some time next year.
