Noel Gallagher solo album on its way?

Noel Gallagher has admitted that he'd like all of the members of Oasis to record solo albums following Dig Out Your Soul. However, fans shouldn't start thinking about pre-ordering CDs just yet.
In a recent reader Q&A for US magazine Blender, Noel was asked when he'd finally make a solo album.
"I'd like for us to do separate projects after this record." Noel revealed. "We'd all have to agree on it, so it will probably never happen. I've got loads of new songs. Somewhat predictably, they're all brilliant."
"We need to concentrate on fucking women, taking drugs, wearing sunglasses and being cool. Never mind the polar bears."
The ever-quotable Oasis star was also far from reticent with regard to his feelings about Radiohead and Coldplay:
"Radiohead and Coldplay think too much. They get to a certain level and start worrying about the environment.
"That's for the governments of the world to worry about. We need to concentrate on fucking women, taking drugs, wearing sunglasses and being cool. Never mind the polar bears."
And on Jay-Z covering Wonderwall at Glastonbury: "It was pretty funny. But I'm not sure one should be seen in public with a white Stratocaster."
