Noel Gallagher has admitted that he is putting plans to record a solo album on hold.

The former Oasis guitarist, who previously hinted that he will release his debut solo record next year, revealed that he wants to take his time before returning to the studio.

"I'm not doing a solo album as I'm taking time off," he told the Daily Star. "I'm enjoying bumming around watching Coronation Street. I much prefer it to EastEnders. That show is too depressing for me."

The 42-year-old announced yesterday that he is considering a move back to Manchester.
