Noel Gallagher has shared the details of a greatest hits album along with a new single.

The former Oasis rocker's new single, We're On Our Way Now, is one of two new tracks to feature on Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021), which will celebrate 10 years of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

The greatest hits album is a definitive 18-track package, which will feature songs from Noel's solo career, from his 2011 eponymous debut, its 2015 follow-up, Chasing Yesterday, 2017's Who Built The Moon? and more.

Noel said of the news: "10 years of The High Flying Birds??  Blimey! ... just think of all the things I COULD have done in that time!!"

"The title just came to me one afternoon, at the kitchen table.” He continues. "It's a saying isn't it: 'back the way we came'. I actually thought it was a great title. Which is why it's got Vol 1. Because if there's another one, I'm not coming up with another title!"
