Ian Brown thinks the Gallaghers should go solo

IAN BROWN has suggested that Noel and Liam Gallagher pursue solo careers.

The former Stone Roses frontman said to see the brothers fighting was a sad end to Oasis.

He said: "What's a shame is that they're brothers. From being 10 and six scrapping on the carpet in the front room, now they are doing it in public and worldwide - I think that's a bit of a shame for them. Life's hard enough without scrapping with your brother when you're a grown man."

"I would say go solo, I can heartily recommend it. It's a fine way to be."

Brown also said that he was chuffed to learn that his former band inspired Oasis.

Speaking to the Press Association, he added: "I always loved Oasis because when they came out, they did express that they loved us and they saw that we did it and they thought they could do it too.

"We're lads like they are, and that inspired them. That means a lot to me."

His sixth solo album, 'My Way' is out on September 28.
