Noel: "Writer's block"

Noel Gallagher says he has "nothing left to write about", as Oasis continue work on their new album.

The band have been laying down the follow-up to "Don't Believe The Truth" in recent months and go into the world famous Abbey Road studios on Monday.

However, Noel, the chief songwriter in the Manchester rock veterans, has confessed he's struggling to come up with lyrics for the record.

He says a number of songs have already been completed, six weeks after recordings commenced, explaining. "We start in Abbey Road a week on Monday.

"Then we'll probably work through a couple of months there, have Christmas off, then go and mix it and see where we're at.

"We all write separately, but for some reason all the songs sound like they've got a common thread. We've been focusing round the grooves more this time."

However, speaking about his lack of inspiration, Gallagher confessed: "I've literally got nothing left to write about.

"I've written about being a youth, and I've written about being a rock star, and I've written about living life in the big city."
