Gallagher swaps Oasis for Beady Eye

LIAM Gallagher's new post-Oasis band has been named Beady Eye.

The singer has teamed up with former band mates Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock to record new material. The quartet are now in the studio with producer Steve Lillywhite, famed for his work with U2.

Liam's guitarist brother Noel walked out on Oasis last summer before a gig in Paris after being worn down by their difficult relationship.

Liam had previously said he would carry on with the old band name if he was unable to think of anything better.
