Noel Gallagher solo album set for September

A release date has been announced for Noel Gallagher's debut solo album.

The former Oasis guitarist has been tight lipped about the recording of his record, but today (04.03.11) its release appeared to be confirmed for September.

Yesterday a twitter account in the name NoelGDGallagher was created and a tweet was posted reading: "For clarification this is Noel's official Twitter which will be handled by both his management and himself from time to time."

Another two short tweets read: "Single release date: 22.08.2011," and "Album release date: 12.09.2011."

The account is, however, yet to be verified by the micro-blogging site as genuine.

Despite Noel claiming he wouldn't start his solo album until "well into" this year, singer Mile Kane revealed last November he was in the studio and had invited him played on a track.

He said: "I play guitar on one of his songs for Noel's album. I was only in there for a couple of hours. I did my thing."

Meanwhile Noel's brother Liam - who hasn't spoken to him since their fall-out which caused Oasis to split - said he expects the album to feature a number of tracks which were originally intended to be Oasis songs.

Referring to sessions for the band's last album, he said: "I've heard his f***ing new record 'cos I f***ing sung on half of it.

"When I was in America for 'Dig Out Your Soul' he swiped some off because he obviously knew he wanted to do a solo album."

Since Oasis' split Liam has released his debut record with new band Beady Eye.
