Oasis star Noel Gallagher has joined the supergroup Mantra Of The Cosmos on their new psychedelic track.
The song, titled Domino Bones (Gets Dangerous), features Noel, 57, alongside Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder, 62, Ringo Starr’s son Zak Starkey, 59, and former Oasis bassist Andy Bell, 54.
Zak, who has only visited Liverpool once before, will take to the stage with the band to play two sets on 19 January at The Cavern Club – made famous by The Beatles.
Speaking about the new single, Zak gushed: ‘It’s not every day that the greatest songwriter of my generation – not to mention Shaun, the greatest beat poet of our times – sends a tune to me.
‘And I was in a daze for a bit because it’s not something you want to f*** up! It came together great – everyone digs it!’
‘Noel loves Shaun. He texted me to say “Do you know what you’ve got? The British Bob Dylan” – and he’s not f***ing about because now I’ve witnessed what Shaun does. Noel calls him the “king of lyrics”.’

The choice of venue for the band’s return was also a personal one for Zak as he said: ‘Can’t believe I’ve never even been there.’
‘There’s a great deal of family heritage at the cavern aside from the Beatles my parents courted there…who knows I may have even been conceived there!’
It comes as the set list for Oasis’s long-awaited 2025 reunion tour was leaked on social media on Tuesday and Liam Gallagher, 52, has now confirmed its authenticity.
Fans were sent into a frenzy in the summer when Noel and Liam announced they had put their differences aside and would return in 2025.
It will be the first time they will perform on stage together since breaking up in 2009 following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France.
The much-hyped events have been shrouded in mystery since it was confirmed in August 2024.
But the secret now seems to be out after a fan claimed to have leaked the song selection for the tour – but there was no room for one of their biggest singles.
The rumoured set starts with Acquiesce, the only Oasis hit to feature the brothers singing in tandem and a popular opener for past shows.
Speaking about the new single, Zak said: ‘It’s not every day that the greatest songwriter of my generation – not to mention Shaun, the greatest beat poet of our times – sends a tune to me,’ (Andy Bell, Bez, Zak Starkey and Shaun Ryder pictured 2023)
He added: ‘And I was in a daze for a bit because it’s not something you want to f*** up! It came together great – everyone digs it!’ (pictured 2023)
The following song is the band’s first UK number-one hit Some Might Say, which appears on their second album What’s The Story (Morning Glory)? released in 1995.
The Gallaghers then go through some of their most beloved tracks including Lyla, Shakermaker, The Hindu Times, Columbia and Cast No Shadow.
Popular 1995 hit She’s Electric comes in as the eighth performance on the rumoured list and is followed in the middle of the set by songs from a variety of eras including Stand By Me, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, The Importance of Being Idle, Half The World Away, Whatever and Slide Away.
The band are set to leave their fan favourite hits until the end of their shows, with their 1994 debut single Supersonic the 15th song.
The Liam-led anthem is followed by Morning Glory, Rock ‘n’ Roll Star and Cigarettes and Alcohol.

The set is rumoured to begin with the hit Acquiesce, the only song featuring both Noel and Liam (Pictured in Milan in 2008)
There is no room, however, for their biggest hit Wonderwall, which is sung by Liam (pictured performing at Wembley Stadium last year)
Third from last is 1995 single Don’t Look Back In Anger, which boasts a whopping 995million listens on Spotify and is known by music fans across the world.
Cult classic Live Forever, from their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe, is the penultimate track on the rumoured list before the Gallagher brothers finish off the set with seven-and-a-half-minute anthem Champagne Supernova.
There is noticeably no room for Wonderwall, which has more than 2.2bn plays on Spotify and is the group’s sole top 40 entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, although you would imagine the 1995 hit is a shoo-in for an encore.
Lead singer Liam, who boasts 3.8m followers on X, responded to the speculated song list, saying: ‘It’s not far off.’
