The news comes after Gallagher unleashed his stunning single, Dead To The World, which Noel calls "by some distance" his "favourite tune on the album".

"It has this film noir vibe," he says of the track. "It’s not like anything else I’ve ever done before. It’s very melancholic, but I like that. I’m a Gemini – I’m as up as I am down, and the trick is to meet somewhere in the middle and turn that into music."

Dead To The World is the next cut to be taken from Noel Gallagher's forthcoming Council Skies album, Following Pretty Boy and Easy Now.

Speaking of the record, which is set for release on 2nd June 2023, the former Oasis rocker said: "The title comes from a book by the artist Pete McKee. I was writing the song which was to become Council Skies, but it wasn't called Council Skies. There's a bit in the song when I was writing it, where a phrase was missing - I didn't know what that phrase was gonna be."

Noel went on: "Pete's book happened to be on my coffee table at home. So I called him up and said, Can I use this title? And he said yeah. And I rewrote the song and then subsequently a lot of other things started to fall into place."
