LIAM Gallagher has dropped a huge hint that Oasis will make new music after their comeback tour.
The singer revealed his hopes for the future in a very candid Q&A with fans, but admitted it wasn’t just down to him – his brother Noel has to be on board too.

One fan asked him: “I know you won’t answer this but I wonder if you feel like retirement is inevitable after a come back tour?”
He replied: “I’m up for carrying on but it’s not just down to me.”
Another person questioned: “Liam after the oasis tour are you gonna carry on doing solo stuff or will that be the end?”
Liam told them: “Nope I’m gonna be on my best behavior on this tour and hopefully Noel will see my potential and he’ll write some RnR and I’ll sing them and that’ll be that if not I’m of on holiday for 30 years.”
The news will no doubt be music to the ears of fans in the lead up to their hotly anticipated tour next year.
The brothers will reunite to play Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July and August next year.
Noel quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer".
Fans have been pleading with them to regroup since they disbanded, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France.
When tickets went on sale for the UK and Ireland shows some standard tickets more than doubled from £148 to £355 and the situation was blamed on "unprecedented demand".

There was outrage from fans and the controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge they would look at the use of dynamic pricing.
Ticketmaster has previously said it does not set concert prices and its website states this is down to the "event organiser" who "has priced these tickets according to their market value".
Yesterday it was confirmed that Richard Ashcroft, the former lead singer of The Verve, will be joining them as a special guest on all of their UK and Ireland shows next year.
