Liam Gallagher's Tribute Song To John Lennon

Liam Gallagher has written a tribute to his hero John Lennon on the new Oasis album.

And even brother Noel admits it’s brilliant.

I’m Outta Time is a beautiful ode to the late, great musician. It features a segment of Lennon talking in an old interview.

Liam isn’t exactly known as the sensitive type. He makes sure of that.

But he has now written two top songs for the greatest loves of his life — Lennon and wife Nicole.

Fans were stunned by the snarling frontman’s tender touch in his track for his missus, Songbird, which went to No3 in 2003.

Moody new ballad I’m Outta Time continues down that gentler path.

It will appear on the band’s seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, out on October 6.

The track is his best yet and is a top candidate for a single.

Lennon is Liam’s second favourite subject — after himself. For many years The Beatles were the only thing he would put on his stereo.

Liam has even claimed he got into music after an out-of-body experience featuring the great man. And he still thinks he is being haunted by his ghost.

A source revealed: “Liam has so much passion for the subject.

“He’s obsessed. That’s why the song is so brilliant and poignant.”

Liam and Noel have never been the sort to shower each other with praise. But Noel has admitted his little brother is turning into a real songwriting force.

He told the NME: “He’s really good. The thing about Liam is you haven’t heard the half of it.

“If he could even be bothered to finish some of the songs he started.

“Honestly, they’re amazing. But he suffers the curse of the Gallaghers. It’s like: ‘F*****g hell, can’t finish it.’

“I’ve got demos of his at home with about 40 tunes which, if he could be bothered, would be amazing.”

I’m hearing good things about all three of the Liam-penned tracks on the upcoming album.

He’s come a long way from Little James.
