Noel Gallagher is set to unveil a previously unheard Oasis track.
He rediscovered the demo of Don't Stop in a box of old CDs at home while self-isolating due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In a statement posted to Twitter, he said:
“Hey there dudes and dollies. Like the rest of the world, I’ve had infinite time to kill lately so I thought I’d finally look and find out what was actually on the HUNDREDS of faceless unmarked CD’s I’ve got lying around in boxes at home. As fate would have it, I have stumbled across an old demo which I thought had been lost forever.
"As far as I'm aware there is only one version of this tune 'out there' from an Oasis soundcheck in Hong Kong about 15 years ago? I'm not sure whether the soundcheck version pre dates the demo as there's no date on the cd.
“I know some of you love this tune so we thought we’d put it out there for you to enjoy/argue over. It’ll be up on the internet from midnight. The song is called Don’t Stop. Hope everyone is staying safe and trying to ride out the lockdown with the minimum of fuss. You're welcome by the way."
The former Oasis guitarist and vocalist recently cancelled all of his summer shows in response to COVID-19. Keep up to date in real time with Stereoboard.
Gallagher and his band, the High Flying Birds, released the 'Blue Moon Rising' EP in March. Their last album, meanwhile, was 2017's 'Who Built the Moon?'.
UPDATE APRIL 30: The Don't Stop demo is now available on streaming services. Listen below.
