Oasis Pay Tribute to John Lennon on New Album

Oasis’ Gallagher brothers’ love of the Beatles is no secret, and on one track off their new album Dig Out Your Soul, the band will pay tribute to John Lennon directly. The ballad “I’m Outta Time” will reportedly feature an audio extract of a John Lennon interview. “Liam has so much passion for the subject,” a source told the U.K. Sun, “He’s obsessed. That’s why the song is so brilliant and poignant.” The song is considered a candidate for a future single. Dig Out Your Soul is due out October 7th, with the single “The Shock of the Lightning” preceding it. [Photo: Getty]
