FFS, even The Beano is more factually accurate than NME and Mirror. is anyone saying this is the truth? and we should take it as gospel (which obv ironically is less truthful than the nme or the mirror) like the remix album, potential acoustic tour, new b side, BHN reissue, just good to speculate vs static set lists etc every gig which 70% of stuff thats happening right now..

Nah, I'm just saying all credibility from those rags have completely vanished - in a day where internet hits gets you additional advertising revenue, the NME and Mirrror know exactly what they are playing at.

Maybe all musicians should call it quits after one success? A spotless discography... a hungry and speculative fanbase... an air of, the, mysterious... But who is this man of mystery? It's Lee! Lee Mavers. Siren of the Mersey. If you find yourself on the edge of this magical river, listen! Listen beyond the cries of seagulls... listen beyond the sinking of amphibious duck-mobiles... and if you're lucky... and you believe hard enough... you'll hear it. The lost ballads of the mythical Lee Mavers. Brace you're face and prepare for the jangle-pop eargasm of a lifetime... Just remember this kids... it's all inside your brainnss.

Paul Gallagher responded to someone on Twitter and said there was no truth to it.

LG can't be living La Vida Loca for the rest of his time. Someday he will run out of cash or get bored , that's when he starts making music again. If Liam's anywhere near to running out of money, him making an album isn't going to help him in anyway. Artists make very little from record sales these days and the last Beady Eye album sold a minuscule amount. He'd be better just relying on Pretty Green. Sure, he could limp around the country a few times, maybe Eurpoe and the US as well, but the kind of venues he could book would would have such small capacities that he wouldn't receive much in pocket once it's been split between the backing band and promoters etc.

Let me start by saying that I unashamedly love The La's and their wonderful album. Mavers certainly deserves a place amongst the greatest pop songwriters just for that bunch of songs.
Having said that, he sounds like absolute shit in all the performances from recent times (from the last 10 years) I've seen on Youtube. He even seems to have diction problems (as in having trouble controlling his mouth movements) that he didn't have 25 years ago. And no, it's not the Scouse accent.
I also think this rumour is complete nonsense, but if Mavers still has got great songs in him that we haven't heard, he should team up with someone else to bring them to life, not with a singer who is way past his prime, very limited in his singing abilities and barely a shadow of the artist he used to be.
I guess the moral lesson here is don't do class A drugs, kids?

He's gotta be up to something though. Anyways, art shouldn't really be just about the money though - It should be about the joy of doing it in the first place. If he's singer/musician he surely will create some output.

I guess the moral lesson here is don't do class A drugs, kids? I do agree what you're saying. I've only seen Mavers once at his stripped back gig 4 years ago. I was quite happy to listen to all The La's songs live even it was only Mavers and a bass player (and the roadie who did a great job with drumming for My Generation at encore), but it was painful to see what the genius like him became what he is now. Shame, yet he's still one of the best song writers in the modern music history. James Skelly could have been one of his children (in musical wise of course).

Must have hurt his ego that... If he was to come back, I'd imagine his girlfriend would just fill the role. I doubt he'll put much stock by so-called 'professional' managers now, after the clusterfuck that was the BE promotion run.

He was just a lad born with a powerful set of pipes, who got very, very lucky, and ended up a rock and roll star by chance of having a brother who just happened to be the best songwriter of his generation. It's the same thing the other way round of course, with Noel being lucky to have one of the most distinctive voices in rock as his brother, but what I'm saying is that he's not had to work for it like Noel or Bowie, or Keith and Mick, Lennon and McCartney etc... and so now in his career lull, I don't see how he'll pick himself up again. It's a miserable thought I know, but I just can't see him doing anything again.

He was in the music business and there will be people approaching him with projects.

More rumors from The Mirror.... Oasis singer Liam Gallagher plotting comeback with 'modern John Lennon' Lee Mavers Liam has recruited The La’s songwriter to engineer his return to the charts and music insiders say it promises to be a “beautiful relationship” Liam Gallagher is preparing to make a comeback, but not in an Oasis reunion – and if that’s got you crying your heart out, just stop now. Because Liam has recruited The La’s Lee Mavers to engineer his return to the charts and music insiders say it promises to be a “beautiful relationship”. When Beady Eye split up in 2014, many fans hoped it would be the catalyst to bring the Gallaghers back together for an Oasis reunion. But while his brother is touring the UK with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, 42-year-old Liam is looking forward to working with his music hero Lee, 52, who is best known for his late 80s hit There She Goes.A source said: “Liam is in talks with Lee to create a new album. “It’s been a rocky road for him but he’s got found new energy having decided to work with Lee. It’s going to be a beautiful relationship.” While Noel has won praise for his band’s second album, Chasing Yesterday, Liam hasn’t released anything since Beady Eye’s last album, BE in June 2013. Liam is a huge fan of Lee, and has compared him to John Lennon, saying: “As a songwriter, I don’t think anyone’s touched Lennon and I don’t know if they ever will. “Lee Mavers could have got near, but he went down another road. Lee Mavers is a f****** dude, man. “I f****** love him.” He also advised Kanye West to “check out Lee Mavers” after West’s “utterly s***” Brits performance in January. Drummer Chris Sharrock, who played with The La’s before joining Oasis and Beady Eye, matched Liam and Lee. The source added: “Chris knew how much Liam admired Lee. “Lee’s a musical genius and he thought they could make some really special music together so he put them in touch.” www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/oasis-singer-liam-gallagher-plotting-6055129Nosense pool: "What would you rather see make a comeback?" 88% Oasis 12% Liam solo The "Wonderwall" singer

Personally I think Lee Mavers is a TAD overrated. Yup. Good album, maybe great, but not as good as the likes of The Stone Roses, DM, The Queen is Dead or all that. Also, it doesn't shed a positive light on him that he never got around to actually releasing more stuff. Let Liam work with him and Ian Brown and we've got the release date set for 2030.
