Liam Gallagher has said he believes his brother and former Oasis bandmate Noel Gallagher will listen to Beady Eye's debut album.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Liam said Noel would have his “ear out” for the album because he is a “music lover”.

“I’m sure it’s not gonna make or break his day,” the singer said of the band's forthcoming LP, 'Different Gear, Still Speeding'.

“Just like his [planned solo] album. I’ll give a listen to it when it comes out. But it ain’t gonna make or break my ****ing day, you know what I mean?

He added: “You don’t just turn off cause we’re not in a band together. He’ll be checking it out. Of course he will.”

'Different Gear, Still Speeding' is due to be released at the end of this month.

Noel Gallagher's as-yet-untitled solo album is believed to be set to come out later this year.
