Noel Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Matthews makes unexpected appearance at Oasis
A source told the Mirror: "After posting about her ex-husband for weeks, Meg Matthews had a prime seat for watching the band. She was in great spirits before the set, watching Richard Ashcroft with pals." It comes just days after Meg was forced to deny that she and Noel had decided to give their marriage another go.
The 59-year-old has been sharing throwback snaps on social media, prompting fans to believe that they were back together following the breakdown of Noel's second marriage. Meg denied the speculation but insisted that she would be attending the upcoming Oasis concert in London.
Taking to Instagram today, sharing a slew of old snaps of her and Noel larking about in a club, she wrote: "TODAY IS THE DAY 4th July 2025 Finally here ….OASIS REUNION TOUR, Britpop was a British music and cultural movement that peaked in the mid-1990s, characterized by a revival of British guitar pop from the 1960s and 1970s, in contrast to American grunge.
"It was not just a genre, but a reactionary and patriotic cultural response, celebrating British identity, working-class roots, and everyday life. To everyone who's there when they walk on the stage at 8.15pm will be a piece of history."
Referencing the photo, she added: "That night was a lot of fun can't remember what after party gig it was .. back then there was always one which I was in charge of organising through @creationrecords money and fun had no limit back then."
Throughout the week, Meg has been reflecting on her former marriage to Noel in the lead-up to tonight's mammoth concert. Just yesterday, she marked the countdown with an adorable snap of herself and the rocker.

Oasis fans 'devastated' as iconic song left off setlist for first show in 16 years
Oasis fans 'devastated' as iconic song left off setlist for first show in 16 years Oasis played their first live show since 2009 on Friday (July 4) at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, but fans have expressed their disappointment at one song being snubbed Oasis fans missed one particular track from the setlist (Image:) Oasis reunited for the first time in 16 years on Friday (July 4) as they began their Live '25 tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. But following the gig, fans are all saying the same thing about one iconic song that was missing from the setlist. Liam and Noel Gallagher treated fans to 23 of Oasis' biggest hits as they took to the stage for the first time since their meteoric fallout in 2009, including heavy hitters like Cigarettes & Alcohol, Supersonic, Live Forever, and Wonderwall. However, with so many hits under their belts, there were bound to be songs that didn't make the cut - and some fans have said they're "devastated" about not hearing their favourite track. An Oasis fan named Maxi Gonzalez posted a picture of the setlist for the gig on X, and soon found herself inundated with hundreds of replies from other fans sharing their opinions on the running order. Several expressed disappointment at not hearing their personal favourites live, including Columbia, The Importance of Being Idle, and Don't Go Away, which did not make the final setlist.

Article continues below One fan said: "Lyla would have been the biggest sing-along in history." Another added: "Take out Bring It On Down for Lyla and it's perfect." Content cannot be displayed without consent The band also chose not to include the 2002 single Stop Crying Your Heart Out, which has gone on to become one of Oasis' biggest songs worldwide. Other hits, including Songbird and She's Electric, were also missing. In fact, Oasis only played one song from their 2002 album Heathen Chemistry, which was Little By Little. Every other track came from their first three albums, Definitely Maybe, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, and Be Here Now, or was a B-side released during the same era between 1994 and 1997. Many fans conceded that the band simply has "too many good songs" to be able to please everyone. While others said there's always a chance they choose to swap out some tracks on future tour dates, so the setlist may not stay the same. As well as talk about the setlist, Oasis fans all noticed the same thing about Liam and Noel's vocals during the night, as they proclaimed that the pair still 'sounded amazing'.

Fiona Phillips shares heartbreaking Alzheimer's struggle as husband 'wished' for cancer instead
Fiona Phillips shares heartbreaking Alzheimer's struggle as husband 'wished' for cancer instead 'Sometimes I get halfway through a sentence and I can't remember where I was heading with it or the word I was looking for' Fiona has opened up about her diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (Image: 2017 Getty Images ) Fiona Phillips has opened up about her struggles with Alzheimer's, comparing the disease to "trying to chase a £5 note that's fallen out of your purse on a gusty day". In a candid new article, the TV presenter shared an emotional reflection on her experience, saying each time "she thinks she had caught the £5 note, it whips away again". The mother-of-two, who received her diagnosis at 61 in 2023, expressed how she was initially oblivious to her repetitive conversations and would often forget her actions or destinations shortly after being diagnosed. Now at 64, the television presenter is navigating life with Alzheimer's, with the support of her husband Martin Frizell. Martin, the former editor of This Morning, has been taking on much of her care after leaving his position last year in anticipation of shifting family responsibilities. Aided by Martin, Fiona has penned a memoir titled Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer's, set for release later this month, with adapted excerpts currently circulating in the press. In these selected extracts, Fiona, known for her 15-year stint on GMTV, said: "Everywhere I look there are memories. I know they are there. And yet so many of them feel out of my reach now. Fiona, who has been married to Martin Frizell since 1997, said she had "no awareness" she was forgetting things (Image: 2024 Getty Images ) "It's like I stretch out to touch them, but then just as I'm about to grasp it, the memory skips away from me. And I can't catch up with it. Like trying to chase a £5 note that's fallen out of your purse on a gusty day. Each time I think I've caught it, it whips away again. Article continues below "I couldn't be writing this at all without my husband Martin and my closest friends, who are helping me articulate more clearly the thoughts I once had that are now harder for me to reach." As reported by the Mirror, Fiona shared her experience, noting: "Nowadays, I can find talking about my life agonisingly difficult. Sometimes I get halfway through a sentence and I can't remember where I was heading with it or the word I was looking for. It feels awful. "Gradually, Martin and I thought maybe I should start telling more people. Martin felt that if more people knew what was happening to me then they wouldn't judge me if I did ever start behaving unusually – not that I thought I did. It was hardly like I was going down the street half-clothed, yelling at people. "But he and the doctors, who I was constantly backwards and forwards to see, would say that I kept repeating myself and that sometimes I forgot what I was doing or where I was going. The strange thing was I had no awareness of that." In 2023, the Mirror detailed how the Canterbury-born star has been participating in clinical trials for an innovative new medication that researchers believe has the potential to slow or even halt the effects of the disease for millions in the future. Nevertheless, for Fiona, the help has arrived all too late, so much so that her husband Martin confessed: "Being brutally honest, I wish Fiona had contracted cancer instead. It's a shocking thing to say, but at least then she might have had a chance of a cure, and certainly would have had a treatment pathway and an array of support and care packages." He continued, pointing out the disparity in support: "But that's not there for Alzheimer's. Just like there are no funny or inspiring TikTok videos or fashion shoots with smiling, healthy, in-remission survivors." The sense of abandonment post-diagnosis is evident as he noted: "After someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they are pretty much left to their own devices. There is nothing more that can be done and you are left to cope alone." Article continues below Fiona's memoir, Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer's (Macmillan, £22), is scheduled for release on July 17.
