Liam Gallagher is set to become the subject of a new music documentary, which is heading to Cannes Film Festival.

As Official Charts reports, As It Was will be made my documentary-maker Charlie Lightening and will chart the former Oasis star's journey from "living on the edge, ostracised lost in the musical wilderness of boredom, booze and bitter legal battles," to his solo success and the release of his debut album As You Were.

Gallagher said of the news: "As It Was is a documentary about my musical comeback. It covers the writing and recording of my first solo album, right through to playing it live for the very first time in my hometown of Manchester and around the world. I hope you enjoy the film… As You Were."

The video's female star may be a bit confusing since Liam has dedicated the track to his brother Noel in the past.

Before performing the song at his Alexandra Palace gig, the rocker said: "Thank you very much. I'd like to dedicate this one to my brother."
