A piece of paper with the lyrics written by Gallagher fetched £46,875 at auction after going under the hammer in London on Friday.

The page with the pencilled song is believed to have been written to help the singer-songwriter during band rehearsals.

A 1962 Epiphone Casino Guitar previously owned by Gallagher also sold at the auction for £56,250.

Oasis enjoyed huge success in the 90s and 200s era, before splitting in 2009.

There have long been calls for the band to come back together, with brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher embroiled in an ongoing dispute.
