Liam Gallagher's ‘MTV Unplugged’ album to be released on April 24

Last summer Liam Gallagher joined the list of all-time greats Paul McCartney, Page and Plant and Nirvana who have filmed a prestigious MTV Unplugged session.

Having missed Oasis’s 1996 session through illness, the show at Hull’s City Hall found Liam fulfilling some unfinished business entirely on his own terms.

Liam commented, “I was honoured to perform at the legendary showcase that is ‘MTV Unplugged’. It was a lovely experience and the people of Hull were biblical and sounded fantastic. I hope you enjoy the record. LG x”

The show’s electrifying atmosphere is palpable from the very beginning with a phenomenal reaction as Liam takes to the stage with ‘Wall of Glass’. Material from Liam’s solo career such as his personal favourite ‘Once’ and the joyous ‘Now That I’ve Found You’ resonates in this stripped-back format, with his vocals shining alongside a trio of backing singers and string arrangements performed by the 24-piece Urban Soul Orchestra.

Oasis guitarist Bonehead features on performances of ‘Some Might Say’, ‘Stand By Me’, ‘Cast No Shadow’ and Liam’s first ever live vocal performance of the ‘Definitely Maybe’ bonus track ‘Sad Song’. The show concludes on a crowd-pleasing high with an emotive take on the classic ‘Champagne Supernova’.

‘MTV Unplugged’ is now available to pre-order from his website. It will be available on the following formats: CD, signed CD available exclusively from Amazon, standard vinyl, splattered vinyl and digitally. All pre-orders receive an instant download of ‘Gone’.

This summer will also hopefully see Liam play a selection of huge outdoor shows and festival headline sets in the UK. On July 18 he will play Latitude Festival in Suffolk and in August he comes to Belfast to play Boucher Playing Fields. A full list of his tour dates can also be found on his site.
