This first issue, WHAT’S THE STORY 1991-1998, follows the band from their early days in Manchester and signing to Creation Records, through to the making of their epochal first two albums, Definitely Maybe and (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, to their momentous shows at Knebworth Park in 1996 and the last record made with the classic ’90s line-up, Be Here Now, by which time tensions within the group were at breaking point.
Among the essential features and interviews you’ll find inside the magazine’s stylish covers are MOJO’s first encounter with Noel not long after Definitely Maybe’s mercurial success in autumn 1994, the inside story of the sensational punch-up between Noel and Liam during the recording of Morning Glory, and material from a shelved 1997 documentary that the band refused to be shown to the public.
OASIS WHAT’S THE STORY 1999-2021, available from March 4, 2021, brings Noel and Liam’s ever-compelling story up to date, beginning with the dramatic departure of founder members Bonehead and Guigs during the recording sessions for 2000’s Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants album, and thereafter following Oasis through their millennial triumphs as an international stadium act, the bust-up in Paris that finally ended the group, and Noel and Liam’s successful solo careers and eternal brotherly spats.
Available in stores in the UK or available for delivery here.

On the nights of August 10th and 11th1996, Oasis played the concerts that would define them, a band at the height of their powers playing to over 250,000 people.
Twenty-five years on, this is the inside story of those nights, told through the breathtaking photographs of Jill Furmanovsky and newly obtained first-hand accounts from the people who were there - including Noel Gallagher. Many of the images in this book have never been seen before.
From relaxed rehearsals and warm-up concerts to Knebworth itself - backstage, onstage, circling the site in a helicopter - this collection is the definitive account of two nights that a generation will never forget.
Available to pre-order on Amazon and more now.
If you are in the UK WH Smith is the cheapest I have seen.

He spoke about recording fourteen tracks that were written when he was Oasis.
'I’ve listed the proper songs and there were fourteen. They just fell by the wayside of various projects from down the years. I’m going to record them. Some are quite old school. I was looking at the track listing and thinking, "Actually, fu**ing hell, no I’d approach that song differently". It’s been very interesting."
He added “The gift is not coming up with the chords. The gift I’ve been given is remembering it all. If I play a song once and I’m not ped and it connects, it’s in there forever. Obviously, I’ll forget about little things but years later I’ll be playing something and go, ‘Hang on, that’s that f***ing tune I had’. That’s the gift, not the song writing. If they’re good enough they’ll come back.”
He also spoke about the documentary 'The Phenomenon'.
"Some kids together in a playground in Zimbabwe had seen a UFO land, at the time they gave vivid descriptions and they got them all together again and they told exactly the same story It made me think, well if they were lying then the stories, inevitably, would have evolved and changed a bit.
They showed them being filmed giving their stories back whenever it was, and they were telling it word for word, I was like, ‘Oh, f***ing hell.’ Because if that’s just something you make up it would have been embellished down the years.”
