First Liam and Noel Gallagher backstage Oasis photo emerges after 'fake friends' claim
Noel Gallagher and his brother, Liam, have been papped backstage together following reports they're being 'kept apart'. The sibling stars have been wowing crowds since kicking off their epic reunion tour in Cardiff three weeks ago following a 16-year hiatus in which they were savagely estranged.
Their high-profile feud has been rumbling on for years. However, the Don't Look Back In Anger stars seem to have put the past behind them while on stage this month, holding hands in jubilation as they perform to the packed-out crowds.
There are rumours, however, that the stars are being kept apart, staying in different hotels because they want to 'keep the peace'.
Liam and Noel's epic gift to Manchester Gallagher Hill fans resold for huge amount
Despite this, the pair were snapped posing with two excitable fans, sporting Oasis shirts backstage after their glittering gig in Manchester on Sunday.
Sporting sunglasses, Noel stands next to the fan, as Liam puts his arm around his friend, punching the air after the band's thrilling performance in his hometown.
'Never thought I'd see a picture of Noel and Liam where they are more excited than anyone else in it,' one fan joked on Reddit.
Another said: 'Those lucky lads, im happy they met their heroes,' and a third penned: 'Love that they still pose the same way it's adorable.'
Others speculated that things 'must be going well on tour' between the two brothers.
However, according to The Sun, a source said the Don't Look Back in Anger stars 'don't want to over-expose themselves to each other,' during the tour.
As a result, Liam and Noel have reportedly been staying in separate residences after their gigs.
The source said: 'Having separate residences is the best option so they can relax in their own space.
'They stayed in separate locations outside the city around half an hour away from each other.
'They're happy families at the moment and they want to keep it that way."
Liam and Noel thanked fans for coming to Oasis' gig on Sunday, even though they didn't have a ticket.
Those not lucky enough to bag a place for the reunion have been gathering on the newly-named Gallagher Hill in Heaton Park to try and catch a glimpse of the gig. And last night, a thousand were given an exclusive Oasis t-shirt, branded with 'Gallagher Hill', which went down a storm with the fans as they soaked up the electric atmosphere.
Sisters Claire and Kerri Davis told the Manchester Evening news the t.shirts were handed out by a man on a golf buggy. They said: 'He just came and was handing them out, he looked official. He said 'they're from Liam but I've only got a thousand.'"

'I want to ban vaping from my wedding – it's tacky and ruins pictures'
A woman desperately didn't want people to smoke vapes at her wedding because she doesn't fancy them in the professional photographs, because vaping gives her 'the ick' A woman sparked controversy after admitting she wanted vapes completely banned from her wedding, because they give her "the ick". She explained her wedding is at the end of August, and they're having a ceremony and outdoor reception with a "festival vibe". But this is why she began panicking about the fact that everyone would be vaping. "The photos of the day are really important to me, and I've spent a small fortune on our photographer. He's a casual photographer, so he will be mingling through groups of friends to take natural shots rather than staging anything," she explained on Reddit. But she shared because the event is outside, she was "worried about how many people will be vaping". She said many people who will be there do vape. "I really can't stand people holding a vape in photos, it gives me the ick," she seethed. The bride-to-be explained on Reddit's 'Wedding Planning' forum: "I'm really worried it's going to ruin the aesthetic and cheapen the photos of the wedding, I don't want to look back at these pictures in years to come and see people puffing on vapes or with vapes in their hand." She continued: "I want to send an email out through our wedding website asking guests to either hide their vapes in photos or even better to not bring them at all! "Has anyone else banned vaping from their wedding before, or do I sound like Monica from Friends?" In the comments, someone urged her to write the following on an invite: "Smoking and vaping will only be permitted in a designated spot per venue regulations." They did warn, however, for her to "be prepared to have a big chunk of the guests in that designated spot for much of the wedding". Someone penned: "Vaping is very second nature to a lot of people who do it. They don't even really notice they're doing it. So I would still be prepared to see people doing it. But a smoking area will be helpful for people to be more mindful." A Redditor said if there is a designated smoking area, people will use it, but one man wrote: "Tell that to my aunt, who was smoking a cigarette at her seat during my brother's outdoor wedding. She also showed up late." "A very much your aunt and unique problem," somebody responded. A woman replied: "Not super unique. Some people will smoke anywhere and don't care at all if it's prohibited in that spot. I experience it every time I go to an outdoor concert at the big outdoor venue near me. It's banned, people do it anyway and it's never enforced." However, another suggested they could go about it a different way, by mentioning vapes to the photographer, saying: "You unfortunately can't really have it both ways - if your photography is doing natural/unstaged shots then they're gonna capture people as they are which means with vapes in hands. "You can control your photographer much more than your guests so maybe just tell the photographer to try to avoid getting vapes in shots."

You have super vision if you can spot hummingbird in flowers within 10 seconds
You'll need to have the eyes of a hawk in order to spot the hummingbird hiding among the flowers in just 10 seconds, and many don't have what it takes to solve the puzzle If you're looking to train your brain today, why not take on this tricky brainteaser that challenges you to find a hummingbird lurking among a sea of flowers? There's one catch, though - you have just 10 seconds to do it. Solving puzzles like this one can help you exercise your mind, which is just as important as exercising the rest of your body. Brainteasers and other puzzles can not only help improve your cognitive function, but they also work wonders when it comes to building your problem-solving skills and can even help slow the onset of degenerative diseases like dementia. So if your brain is feeling sluggish, give this mind-boggling optical illusion a try! Shared on Reddit, the brainteaser tasks you with finding a hummingbird amongst a sea of yellow flowers and green foliage. The flowers and leaves are quite vast, and hummingbirds are only small creatures, so you'll need excellent vision if you want to cut through the unimportant parts of the picture to find the bird. Take a look at the Reddit post below and see if you can find the hummingbird as quickly as possible. If you can do it in just 10 seconds, you might have super vision. If you cannot see the above Reddit post, click here. Locating the hummingbird isn't easy, and 10 seconds isn't very long, so don't worry too much if time runs out before you've found it. You'll still be training your brain to spot these hidden objects in record time no matter how long it takes you to find this one, so don't give up until you've found it. If you're really struggling, we'll give you a small hint. Take a close look around the clusters of yellow flowers. The bird you're looking for is situated just above one of these clusters, so you can stop looking at the bottom of the image or in any areas where there are gaps in the blooms. Got it now? If you're still looking, stop scrolling, as we're about to give you the answer. Answer The hummingbird can be found on the right-hand side of the image, just above the halfway point. Commenters on the post described it best when they said the bird was "about 2 o'clock from dead centre". It sounds confusing, but if you start at the centre of the image and imagine a clock, the bird is in line with where the number 2 would be. You should be able to see a red and black object - that's the hummingbird. Did you find it? Let us know in the comments! And if you want some more puzzles to train your brain, try this "impossible" riddle that people can't solve - even though the answer is staring you in the face.

The Fathers by John Niven review – class satire with grit
They're an unlikely duo. Jada is a petty criminal who lives hand to mouth in a cramped 60s tower block and can't remember how many children he has. Dan is a TV producer with a Tesla outside his mansion and who – after five years of trying and six rounds of IVF – is about to meet his first child. The pair encounter each other outside the sliding doors of Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University hospital, where Dan takes sips of cold air while he comes to terms with the wonder and terror of first-time parenthood and Jada sneaks a quick fag. Dan examines Jada's vigilant eyes and seasonally inappropriate sportswear; Jada clocks Dan's Rolex and works out how quickly he could take him in a fight. They bump into each other again in the lift a few days later, laying the seeds for a relationship that will reveal what divides them and what they share, building to a climax of kinship and betrayal. Since leaving his job as an A&R manager in 2002, John Niven has written novels and screenplays that mix industry satire (pop, publishing, film) with sometimes eye-popping hedonism; presumably both will feature in his next project, a 2026 play about Blur and Oasis called The Battle. Yet while there's a fair bit of hard living in The Fathers, Niven's latest also shows his softer side, as the two fortysomething Glaswegian protagonists manage domesticity. Dan obsessively childproofs his house, buying expensive baby accessories and doing his best to be the perfect dad to Tom, while Jada tries to be more present with his girlfriend Nicola and new son Jayden than he has been for his other children – for which read 'not very'. For all Dan's efforts, the mums take on the greatest share of child rearing, giving the dads space to transform their careers. Dan, bored with his wildly popular TV series McCallister (think Taggart meets Hamish MacBeth), aims to kill off the main character and write a novel. Jada, meanwhile, has a contact at Prestwick airport who can siphon off military surplus meant for Ukraine – a gig he thinks could set him up for life. Classic Scottish literary themes of duality, sentiment and booze are rarely far from the surface, most of them viewed through the prism of class. In the hospital, Dan's wife, Grace, has a private room and a smoothie that 'cost more than wine and tasted like cut grass'. On Nicola's bedside are a pack of cigarettes, a giant Toblerone and a bottle of Irn-Bru. In the months that come, Jayden's sippy cup is filled with the fizzy nectar, while Nicola and Jada enjoy the occasional blow-out with beer from 'PriceBeaster', plus ecstasy and heroin. Down the road, the West End's gentrified stretches do a steady trade in 'macchiatos, pastel de natas and designer knitwear'. There's plenty of inequality, hypocrisy and self-destruction on show, but Niven is also here for the laughs in a book that is sometimes very funny, but also happy to lean into cliche. You yearn to hear from someone who's neither an upper-middle-class twit nor a feckless chancer, or to hear a man articulate his feelings without the spurs of alcohol or desperation. Yet Niven never forgets his characters' humanity, and there's some fine detail on the way, whether comic (brushing a baby's teeth is like trying to 'draw a moustache on a live eel with a felt-tip pen') or poetic (in a brighter moment, Nicola marvels at the city, 'aw golden and peach and the river was dead flat and calm and there wiznae a soul around'). As The Fathers gets going, Niven tightens his narrative like a noose. By a third of the way in, the book is veering between unputdownable and put-it-down-quick-before-something-bad-happens. Jada's airport connection unearths a crate of pistols, which he aims to sell to a Northern Irish terrorist group, while Dan suffers a shocking disaster that flings him out of his herringbone-floored home into Jada's world of dodgy deals, sporadic violence and daytime pints. The result is a comic melodrama that's never dull, and a satire that hits most of its targets. After the darkness Niven lets in, the ending feels a touch glib, but the slow comradeship that grows between the two leads is charming nonetheless. The Fathers is a fine choice for anyone who likes a little grit in their holiday read.
