Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher has confirmed he has ditched the band's name, following the departure of his brother Noel.
Noel walked away from the group during their European tour last year, following a series of bust-ups with his sibling.
The younger Gallagher brother is now assembling his remaining bandmates to begin work on a new album, and he's promising fans a new name too.
Liam tells British radio station XFM, "No, it's not Oasis.That was a s**t name anyway. I'm glad to see the back of it.
"There's a name that we're digging at the moment, but we're going to get on with the music and see how it goes."
He's refusing to reveal the new name - but promises fans won't have to wait long to see the 'new Oasis' in action: "We'll be on stage this year - without a doubt. We're halfway through the record - the demos, that is.
"We're in the studio this April to see if this producer works out. If he does, we'll crack on with the album through June and July."

Last June Noel Gallagher shocked fans when he exited rock band Oasis, the group he had been a part of for almost twenty years.
The decision came after a backstage rift with fellow band member and brother Liam Gallagher.
At the time he explained on the band's website that he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."
Now fans will be pleased to hear that the singer-songwriter will take to the stage once more - this time as a solo artist in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust charity.
The run of annual gigs will be held at the Royal Albert Hall throughout March and will include performances by Depeche Mode, JLS and the Arctic Monkeys.
It is still unknown as to whether the rocker will debut any new material during his shows which are said to be his only ones of 2010.
