Noel Gallagher has confirmed that he plans to embark on a solo career following the break-up of Oasis in August.

The guitarist told the Daily Mirror that he was looking forward to releasing music of his own now he was free of the band shackles.

"I'm looking forward to doing my own thing, bringing out my own music," he said. "I'm glad that's what people want to hear. I am not thinking about much else, Oasis or Liam, I'm just having a good time."

Liam Gallagher recently said that he too would continue to make music, but not under the Oasis guise, as had previously been rumoured.
