[edit] Oasis and untitled band: 2002-2009

He originally joined Oasis in 2002 as a live keyboardist. He is now recording with a yet-unnamed band consisting of vocalist Liam Gallagher and guitarists Andy Bell and Gem Archer of Oasis, along with an unidentified bassist and drummer Chris Sharrock^[6]. It was at first unconfirmed if this album will be released under the Oasis moniker^[7], but Gallagher claimed that it most likely would^[8], or it would use the name Oasis 2.0^[9]. It was confirmed in 2010 that the recording band would not use the name Oasis.^{[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]}
