Earlier this year, the former Oasis guitarist revealed that he was in the process of recording an entirely acoustic album, which he said would be “for the fans” and that he had completed six songs already.
Now, speaking on Matt Morgan’s podcast, Gallagher said: “By the way, I’ve scrapped the acoustic album finally, can’t fucking do it anymore. Yeah, it got six tunes in, and I was so bored with the arrangement of it all and the kind of slow pace of it all and, actually what made me think, right fuck it, I’m not doing it.
“It was too down. Acoustic tunes tend to be quite down. I need to make a defiant rock record and that’s what I’m gonna do. Sorry everyone. I do apologise if anyone had their hearts set on it.”
He went on to say he’s already got ideas for a title based on the HBO sports comedy series Eastbound & Down but he said it was unlikely to see the light of day before 2026.
He continued: “So in my head now if I could demo it all by the end of the year or start to record it proper by the end of the year, could be… dunno…not next year cos then I’d have to go back out on tour next year and I’m not doing that. 2026 maybe?”
