Liam Gallagher has confirmed he’s talked to John Squire about forming a supergroup.

The former Oasis frontman, 50, brought out the former Stone Roses guitarist for his pair of Knebworth shows back in June, to perform the Britpop group’s 1995 classic Champagne Supernova.

Afterward, he took to Twitter to tease potential future projects with the 59-year-old fellow Mancunian, writing: ‘Super group incoming LG JS [sic].’

Now it seems as though there are firmer plans in the works for that to happen.

Speaking in a new interview, the Diamond In The Dark singer – who recently outed himself as a major trampoline fan – confirmed the pair are going to work together at ‘some point’ and he’s hoping to sing on some tunes for him.

‘Yeah. Serious, man. But we’ve got things to do first, and he’s got things to clear up and that. But yeah, I’m definitely going to do summat at some point,’ he explained to Matt Wilkinson on Apple Music 1 for the Home Sessions series.

Matt then asked: ‘So you’ve actually had the conversation a little bit?’

Liam – whose return to Knebworth Park in Hertfordshire came 26 years after Oasis famously played to a record-breaking 250,000 fans over two nights at the outdoor venue – replied: ‘Maybe, yeah. Probably did that at Knebworth and that, I think, if I can remember anything about it. But, no.

Continuing in his usual roundabout style, he added: ‘There’s talk about summat. Maybe. But no rush. He’s my man, I love him. So if he’s got any tunes that need singing, I’m the boy, mate [sic].’

A few years ago, Liam said his dream supergroup would include someone out of The Stone Roses and his close friend, Richard Ashcroft, formerly of The Verve.

In 2017, he told Consequence of Sound: ‘The ideal ones would be the guys out of The Stone Roses. I think they just split up, so that would be good.

‘[Richard] Ashcroft would be good. There’s a lot of people out there, but the majority of them are all doing their own thing.

‘But, if they want to do one, give us a shout. I’ll do it.’

Elsewhere, speaking to Matt, Liam revealed his pre-concert ritual has recently involved drinking half a bottle of brandy with honey and hot water.

After admitting he had been getting ‘a bit battered’ on stage recently, he shared that was attempting to ‘chill out’ his drinking at his last few shows.

The singer is currently in the midst of a series of international live dates and will visit Abu Dhabi, Chile and Argentina in the coming months.
