Oasis eyed for James Bond theme
A report has claimed James Bond bosses are keen for Oasis to record the next 007 theme.
Oasis are said to be the firm favourites to record the next James Bond theme.
The Britpop legends - who have recently wrapped their first tour in 16 years - are reportedly at the top of the list at Amazon MGM studios to record the soundtrack for the next instalment in the iconic spy franchise.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: “The 007 films are one of the great British franchises.
“And who better to record the theme song than one of the greatest ever British bands?
“Liam’s swagger and Noel’s anthemic music would be perfect to soundtrack the new film.
“It is no secret that Noel is a big fan of the Bond films and he would love to have his name listed as one of the few songwriters of a Bond theme amongst greats like Sir Paul McCartney, Duran Duran and Adele.”
It may come as a surprise after guitarist and chief songwriter Noel Gallagher previously slammed the franchise for choosing American artists to pen 007 themes.
Reacting to Jack White penning the theme Another Way to Die - which also featured American chart-topper Alicia Keys - for 2008's Quantum of Solace, he told NME: “It’s a p*** take that the greatest British agent of all time has to be soundtracked by a bunch of f****** Americans.
“I’ve written a couple of Bond theme tunes.
“They haven’t got very Bond-esque titles, so I would have to tailor the title accordingly.
“The latest one that I wrote, I listened back to it thinking, ‘F****** hell man, that’d make a f****** great Bond theme’.”
As it stands, there is no news on who is set to replace Daniel Craig as the suave spy, after he was killed off in 2021's No Time To Die.
Billie Eilish recorded the theme of the same name for the flick.
