Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher has told fans not to expect any solo material in the near future, following the band's split last year.
Asked about his plans for new music, he replied: "I'm moving house and my missus is nine months pregnant so I'm not doing anything until well into next year.
"I'll be doing nappies and all that malarkey."
His brother and estranged bandmate Liam has announced a new band, Beady Eye.
They are currently in the studio and are expected to release their debut album next year.
Noel Gallagher played his first post-Oasis solo shows in March, but has not yet unveiled any new material.
The singer and guitarist was speaking at the premiere of Blue Moon Rising, a documentary about his beloved football team Manchester City.
Gallagher appears in the film, which follows seven die-hard City fans through the highs and lows of last season, and also features several Manchester City players and manager Roberto Mancini.
Oasisinet have teamed up with Sonic Editions to bring you four exclusive and limited edition prints featuring the photography of Andrew Macpherson. There are two band photos and two unique portraits of Liam and Noel available. Each print is limited to a run of 500. The photos were taken around the time of the 'Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants' and 'Heathen Chemistry' albums. They are available in three different sizes and either framed or un-framed. For more information, click HERE!
Also, from today, Oasisinet will be taking pre-orders on a new range of t-shirts featuring the classic Oasis logo. Over the years the design has come to be considered the definitive Oasis logo and features on several of the bands' releases including 'Definitely Maybe', '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?', 'Be Here Now', 'Stop The Clocks' and recent release, 'Time Flies...1994-2009', the complete singles collection. If you pre-order the t-shirt before September 27th you will also receive a free badge set! To check the t-shirts out, click HERE!

Be sure to visit the shop and get involved! All are welcome.
We love Noel Gallagher for many reasons, but mainly for just telling it like it is.
The rock ’n’ roll legend thinks the new flow of music stars are too clean-cut and are ruining the raucous nature of showbiz.
Ranting about well-behaved chart-toppers, the Oasis rocker, 42, condemned them as “dull”.
Chatting at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards, Noel told us: “The showbiz scene is really boring these days, everyone’s so dull. The old days of wild partying seem to be a thing of the past.”
And we have to agree. Party pioneers including Amy Winehouse, 26, Pete Doherty, 31, Russell Brand, 35, and Kate Moss, 36, are taking it easy after pickling their livers for many years.
We need some new vodka-guzzlers to arrive and start a royal booze-up. However, the Manchester strummer is adamant things are set to go back to rock ’n roll revelry soon.
“There will definitely be a new wave of coolness, it’s just a matter of time. You girls are just going to have to sit and wait for the Muppets to go by.
“It’s about time a new set of proper rock stars came out.”
Mr Gallagher has always been a notorious booze-hound but even he’s slowing things down, admitting: “My days of waking up with someone else’s chandelier in my bed are over. I’ve got kids now, I’m more chilled out.”
Looking sharp in a camel blazer, Noel spent most of the night chewing the fat with cricketer Freddie Flintoff, 32, and muso Mark Ronson, 35, at the bash at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden.
It's not often you hear a compliment for Damon Albarn from Noel Gallagher.
Time has moved on from the Britpop nonsense of the late Nineties but the rival songwriters are still as different as bitter and beaujolais.
But both the lyrics giants of the UK music scene were under the same glass roof last night for the GQ Men Of The Year Awards at The Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden.
And Noel was full of praise for Gorillaz' victory in the Best Band category. Sort of.
Noel said: "Gorillaz definitely deserve some kind of award - if only for having 104 people on stage at Glastonbury. What a f***** rider that must've been to organise - more complicated than a Big Brother shopping list!"
But it wasn't just the Oasis lord's old Blur rival brightening up his night. The die-hard Man City fan had the pleasure of watching Man United hero Ryan Giggs pick up the Sportsman Of The Year Award.
And in true Gallagher fashion, he had a view on that decision too.
He added: "Giggsy-wiggsy? Sportsman Of The Year? When you consider the gymnastics Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole and little Peter Crouch have been getting up to lately, that award was a bit of a sham."
Noel was at the bash to present Kinks legend Ray Davies with the Outstanding Achievement gong.
He should be down for an outstanding contribution to awards ceremonies...
Damon and Jamie Hewlett accepted their Best Band gong and Damon made a grovelling apology for misbehaving when he last saw guest Giorgio Armani.
Damon said: "I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to Mr Armani for my appalling behaviour the last time I saw him. I am truly sorry."
Jamie added: "I would just like to add a genuine apology for Damon's shocking behaviour."
Musical Differences’ abound in this week’s issue as we look at the messiest bust-ups in rock history. Check out the amazing stories of the drug meltdowns, punch-ups, and mutual loathing which has torn bands like The Smiths, Guns n Roses and... oh yes... Oasis.
It’s been exactly a year since Oasis burst apart in Paris, and we take a look at their warring history how the music world’s changed since their split, and what’s next for Liam and Noel.
Paul Weller has said that his War Child duet with Paul McCartney on Beatles classic Come Together as the best day of his life.
Paul said: "It all kind of came together. The Beatles were a huge influence on me and my career so working with Macca was brilliant. Noel Gallagher got involved too.
Weller said the music legends were a major influence on his music "We rehearsed at Abbey Road. Working with a Beatle in Abbey Road studio was very surreal. I never ever would have dreamt that would happen."
Noel Gallagher was on TalkSport last night he spoke about going to V Fest and gatecrashing the wedding afterwards, Man City, England, said he is presenting one of the GQ awards on Tuesday and took part in the Ask Noel feature. One of the questions:
"Have you ever heard one of your own songs back and then thought, 'Ive just thought of a better line'"?
"Yeah, of course, all the time! I listen to stuff on the radio and think, 'That's a bit rubbish that.' "I'm not going to draw attention to any of it, to be honest with you, but around about 2000-2003 it was a problem to be inspired to write music." "I wasn't standing on the shoulder of giants, I was too busy counting out money to be bothered to write the songs."
Swan-diving into rock 'n' roll's primordial ooze, the Jim Jones Revue previewed their new album, 'Burning Your House Down,' with a combustible set that recalled the holler of Little Richard and the electric energy of the MC5 at intimate London club Madame Jojo's on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 2.
The audience at the packed-out venue included band producer and Grinderman drummer Jim Sclavunos as well as former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher and his Beady Eye guitarists Gem Archer and Andy Bell.
Displaying a ferocity and near gospel passion that's in all too short supply these days, the Jim Jones Revue are poised to break through to a wider audience as one rock 'n' roll salvo after another was fired with nary a thought for personal safety. While current single 'High Horse' gained the biggest cheers -- its presence on radio increasing on a daily basis -- it's the likes of 'Big Len,' 'Elemental' and 'Killing Spree' that delight long-time observers.
The Jim Jones Revue sweat profusely and heartily. Refusing to stand still, Jones and band -- guitarist Rupert Orton, bassist Gavin Jay, keyboardist Elliot Mortimer and drummer Nick Jones -- wring every drop of energy from their own energy reserves and three-chord ramalama. Like it or not, they're here to save your soul.
He's not short of a bob or two but Liam Gallagher still acts like a "tight-a***" in a restaurant... with the emphasis on a***.
The Mancunian wide boy, 37, visited one of Simon Cowell's favourite haunts, The Colony in Marylebone, with some scruffy mates.
They didn't fancy anything on the menu and said they wanted builder's tea and bacon butties. The barman said they had Silver Needle Tea but no butties.
An onlooker said: "Liam said it was 'f***ing expensive' and stomped out. What a tight-a***."
Liam, who later rocked and rolled at Madame Jojo's for the Jim Jones Revue, then went to the greasy spoon opposite and stuck up two fingers.
Phil Collins clearly has his bêtes noires. 'I get a bit… surprised at the vitriol of [Noel and Liam] Gallagher and people like that who consider me the Antichrist of music.
I don’t think I’ve done anything that bad,’ he says. In any case, the fact that the American hip-hop community has embraced him – his drum sounds and melodies are ripe for sampling or covering – helps balance things out.
And the smash hit 2007 Cadbury’s 'drumming gorilla’ ad was a timely reminder of his adroit pop songwriting skills.
In the battle of the fake gnashers it's a knockout to the man in the Green corner.
Liam Gallagher and rapper Professor Green - who have each had their teeth fixed - bumped into each other at a fashion bash at the Studio Valbonne club in London's Soho.
Earlier ex-Oasis rocker Liam's new teeth did look worth the money as he laughed out loud with Prodigy star Liam Howlett, his brother-in-law, in Notting Hill.
This month Liam and the team flew out to the infamous Copenhagen fashion fair trade show. The Copenhagen International Fashion Fair is currently Europe’s number one trade show. The show has grown with extremity over the decades and is bigger than ever in all aspects: visitors, space and collections.
A raft of Liverpool favourites will pull on red shirts once again next Saturday to help Jamie Carragher celebrate his glittering Anfield career.
Carragher’s eagerly-awaited testimonial game against Everton takes place on September 4 and the Liverpool side that will line up against the Blues will feature several faces who shared in some of the defender’s greatest moments.
Michael Owen and Emile Heskey will reprise their double act from the treble winning season of 2000/01, wearing the numbers – 10 and eight respectively – with which they were synonymous during that glorious campaign.
Steven Finnan, a mainstay of the teams that won the Champions League in 2005 and the FA Cup 12 months later, will slot in on the right side of Liverpool’s defence, while Jerzy Dudek – one of the heroes from an unforgettable night in Istanbul – will stand between the posts once more.
Danny Murphy will be pulling the strings in midfield, while Stephen Wright, Stephen Warnock, David Thompson and Jason McAteer will be involved, as will Jamie Redknapp; commitments overseas, unfortunately, have prevented Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler from taking part.
Everton boss David Moyes has promised to pick a strong team for the game, which kicks off at 2pm, and it is understood that attempts have been made to see if Duncan Ferguson – with whom Carragher enjoyed many fierce battles – will pull on a blue shirt again.
In the directors box, meanwhile, a number of faces who helped nurture Carragher from promising novice to world class defender will be evident, as men such as Gerard Houllier, Rafa Benitez, Ronnie Moran, Hughie Macauley, Phil Thompson and Roy Evans have been invited.
Tickets are selling well for the contest – it is the first time since Bruce Grobbelaar’s benefit game ended in a 2-2 draw in October 1992 that Liverpool and Everton have faced each other in a testimonial – and every penny raised will go to charities in Merseyside through the 23 Foundation.
Tickets can be bought from the tickets offices at both Anfield and Goodison and also from the Liverpool Club Shop at Liverpool One in the city centre.
There will be free entry to all members of the armed forces from Merseyside who have served in Afghanistan and Iraq and a number of tickets have gone to the 1,900 charitable organisations in the region.
The theme of the day will be very much centred towards family and Carragher is hoping to see the stands packed with youngsters; in keeping with that, every member of Liverpool and Everton’s Academy have been invited
Carragher, who has made 635 appearances for Liverpool since coming on as a substitute against Middlesbrough in January 1997, is also holding a gala dinner at the Echo Arena convention centre and 20 tables have been added to the original floor plan of 60 due to demand.
Again, all money will go to charity and the night will be hosted by John Bishop; music will be provided by James Walsh from Starsailor, Ian Broudie, The Coral and The Bluetones, while among the unique auction prizes are two Gold discs donated by Noel Gallagher.
Tables of 10 cost between £2,000 and £4,000, while there is also an opportunity to buy single seats, the prices of which range from £200 to £400; all enquiries should address to Stacey Koks by emailing info@23foundation.com or calling 0151 236 2025.
