“I didn’t want to be reinventing anything or going off on a space jazz odyssey,” Liam said of the album in a press release. “It’s the Lennon Cold Turkey’ vibe, The Stones, the classics. But done my way, now.”

Other tracks on the album include ‘For What It’s Worth’, which was co-written by Simon Aldred of Cherry Ghost, and ‘Greedy Soul’.

‘As You Were’ is available to pre-order now from Liam Gallagher’s website. It will be released in standard and deluxe editions on digital, CD, vinyl and limited edition coloured vinyl. A special boxset is also available to pre-order from this website.
