He'll really try anything to stay relevant, won't he? I just hope the former Stone Roses frontman's new album,

According to Ian, chatting to NME: "I started thinking about which songs I'd used in February to April last year, then I started on writing the music and working with my producers Black Ox, working on it all July, August... by October/November, I had a clear idea of what songs I wanted to do and then we went into the studio in December, so I've done a month now. I recorded with a 30-piece orchestra last week. It's going to sound amazing!"
Rumor has it that he's also been trying to get a hold of former Smiths bassist Andy Rourke and Paul Friggin' McCartney for some assistance on the new record. Let's keep our fingers crossed for Ian!
