Noel Gallagher's daughter gives verdict on Oasis gig after mum walks out mid-set
Noel Gallagher's daughter, Anais, summed up her dad's legendary Oasis reunion concert in just five words. The show, which brought the house down in Cardiff last night, marked the first time in 16 years that Noel and his younger brother Liam shared the stage in the Welsh capital and their devoted fans, lucky enough to get tickets, were not disappointed.
Among them was proud daughter Anais. The 25-year-old attended the gig, posting a photo of herself wearing an Oasis shirt and holding a pint while watching her dad and uncle perform on stage.
She captioned the picture with a simple review of the unforgettable evening: "It's good to be back."
Fans were quick to respond to her post, with many agreeing. With one reply writing: "It was amazing, epic, hope you enjoyed it" while another simply stating: "EPIC!"
Anais' mum Meg Matthews - who was married to Noel from 1997 to 2001 - was also in the audience, the Mirror reports. However, she was seen leaving the reunion concert before the band performed Wonderwall. The song might be a tough one for Meg, as Noel once said she was the inspiration behind it.
A number of well-known celebrities were spotted in the crowd during Oasis's long awaited comeback tour, a reunion many fans have hoped for over the past decade.
The band were seen walking onto the stage with their song 'F**king in the Bushes' before they then started playing 'Hello'. The sold-out crowd greeted them with cheers as they kicked off a global tour for the Gallagher brothers.
In the crowd were the likes of EastEnders star Danny Dyer and Line of Duty actress Vicky McClure. Vernon Kay was also spotted taking photos outside the Principality Stadium.
"Hey, beautiful people, it's been too long," Liam greeted the enthusiastic audience, which also featured Glastonbury founder Emily Eavis.
Liam thanked the 70,000 fans who attended the first reunion gig in Cardiff for 'putting up with them over the years'. The singer and his brother Noel had been locked in a bitter feud for 16 years, leading many fans to lose hope that Oasis would ever reunite for another tour.
However, they shocked the world last year when they announced they would be embarking on an epic reunion tour. Cardiff was blessed with the first gig on Friday night, with Noel and Liam holding hands and raising them to the sky as they walked onto the stage.
Hits like Champagne Supernova, Supersonic and Slide Away were performed, with Noel pausing for a few bars during Half The World Away to take in the incredible atmosphere before him.
After Oasis left the stage at the end of the set, the crowd stomped and cheered, demanding an encore.
The band returned to perform The Masterplan, Don't Look Back In Anger, and Wonderwall before Liam expressed his gratitude to the fans.
Clearly energised from the last two and half hours on stage, he shouted: "Thank you, beautiful people. This is it. Nice one for putting up with us over the years. We are hard work, we get it."

Embezzlement arrest, couple's real names & a house in France… How bestseller The Salt Path may be more fiction than fact
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE question everyone asks about a movie 'based on a true story' is how much is fact and how much is fiction? It is what I wanted to know when I interviewed The Salt Path author Raynor Winn in April about her best-selling memoir, which had been turned into a film starring Gillian Anderson. 5 Author Raynor Winn on the coast path in 2018 5 Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs play Raynor and Moth Winn in The Salt Path Credit: Black Bear Sipping tea from a fine porcelain cup, the softly spoken mother-of-two told me: 'The book's my interpretation of that time.' Well, that is one way of putting it. This week it was alleged that crucial parts of Raynor's prize-winning book were more fiction than fact. In her account, Raynor, 62, and her husband Moth were made homeless in 2013 after an investment went horribly wrong. During the same week, Moth, 64, was diagnosed with rare and fatal neurological condition, corticobasal degeneration (CBD), which affects movement, speech and memory. With nowhere else to go, the couple trek for 630 miles along Britain's South West Coast Path. Life expectancy But according to a lengthy investigation by The Observer newspaper, the reason Raynor lost her house in the Welsh countryside was that she embezzled £64,000 from an employer. The report also found evidence that the Winns, whose real names are Sally and Tim Walker, owned a house in France at the time they were supposedly homeless. Perhaps, just as disturbing, was the suggestion from nine neurologists and researchers that they were sceptical someone could have survived for so many years with CBD, which has a life expectancy of around six to eight years. It was certainly the most niggling doubt I had about the Winns' story when I sat down with Raynor, who likes to be called Ray, at a historic hotel in London three months ago. When Moth was diagnosed in 2013 it was suspected he'd already had CBD for six years. Today, he is not only still alive, he lacks acute symptoms and is going on walks. Raynor told me: 'There are many, many theories that swirl around, and there's very little fact, because these illnesses that come under the umbrella of CBD. 'They don't receive much funding because they're so rare, and so we understand very little about them.' It was a convincing answer and there is no proof that Moth does not have this fatal condition. Patients do defy predictions, with doctors unsure how the late Stephen Hawking was able to live with motor neurone disease for 55 years. There is strong evidence, though, that when Raynor was Sally Walker she got into trouble with the law. Two decades ago she worked part-time as a bookkeeper for an estate agency in Pwllheli, North Wales. Raynor's claims it was all just a business deal that went wrong really upset me. When really she had embezzled the money from my husband. It made me feel sick Ros Hemmings A local police officer told how Sally was arrested and questioned after the company's owner Martin Hemmings reported that £64,000 had gone missing from the accounts. One of Sally's unnamed relatives offered to pay off the sum in return for Martin not to pursue a criminal case against her. This was agreed to, and the bookkeeper went free. But Sally had put up the family home in Wales as security for the loan from the relative and this debt was then passed on to other people. They wanted the money back and when the Walkers could not pay up, a judge ruled they had to give up the property. In the book, Raynor blames it on Moth's childhood friend 'Cooper'. Martin Hemmings died in 2012, but his widow Ros said: 'Her claims that it was all just a business deal that went wrong really upset me. 'When really she had embezzled the money from my husband. It made me feel sick.' There is also evidence that the couple put their home up as a prize even though the judge had said it should be repossessed if they could not sell it. It was offered 'free of mortgage or any other legal or registered charge' in a draw available to anyone who bought a book called How Not to Dal dy Dir [Stand Firm], written by the author Izzy Wyn-Thomas. In the end the house was taken from the Walkers and it is unclear if anyone entered the prize draw. The couple were never charged with any offences, so details of these events lay hidden until now. 5 Gillian and Raynor at the Munich Film Festival last week Credit: Getty 5 The real-life couple at a London film screening in May Credit: Getty Raynor has not spoken publicly about the claims, but in a statement said: 'The Observer article is highly misleading. 'We are taking legal advice and won't be making any further comment at this time. 'The Salt Path lays bare the physical and spiritual journey Moth and I shared, an experience that transformed us completely and altered the course of our lives. This is the true story of our journey.' They gave no clarification as to exactly what was 'misleading'. After losing their home, the couple remerged as Raynor and Moth Winn in 2018 when The Salt Path was published. Her vivid account of their trials and tribulations in Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset is full of convincing details. If there is anything that I hope people take from this film, I would really love it if people walked out of the cinema and saw someone in a doorway they would see them slightly differently, maybe just as an individual, not a difficult statistic Raynor And when I spoke to the polite author, her recollection of events were replayed with authority. It was impossible not to feel sympathy when Raynor told me how a woman called her a tramp when she scrabbled around for change in the gutter. No one has suggested that the pair did not live in a tent or go on the 630-mile walk. But it did seem remarkable that this middle-class couple, hailing from the West Midlands, did not have friends who could put them up for a few weeks while they got back on their feet after their home was repossessed. Down and out The Observer found documents that appear to show the Winns bought an old house in the south-west of France in 2007, and still owned it during the years they were 'homeless'. That flies in the face of the passionate feelings Raynor expressed to me about being a rough sleeper. She said: 'If there is anything that I hope people take from this film, I would really love it if people walked out of the cinema and saw someone in a doorway they would see them slightly differently, maybe just as an individual, not a difficult statistic.' Raynor, who has written about homelessness for The Big Issue magazine, gave a performance that Gillian Anderson would have been proud of. When she said it, I felt no doubt that this was a woman who had truly been down and out. But I was certainly not the only person who seems to have been taken in by her warm words. Prior to this week's revelations, the X Files and Sex Education actress Gillian, who met Raynor before filming started, said: 'When I read the book, I could not get it out of my system for weeks. It changed my perspective on homeless individuals, on people living rough, on the fact that any one of us at any time can become homeless and destitute.' The film's producers put out a statement on Monday denying knowledge of Raynor's past. 5 The book won the Royal Society of Literature Christopher Bland prize in 2019 and was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award A spokeswoman for Number 9 Films and Shadowplay Features said they 'undertook all necessary due diligence before acquiring the book'. Why would they not believe a story that had won the Royal Society of Literature Christopher Bland prize in 2019 and was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award? The critically acclaimed film, with Jason Isaacs playing Moth, made more than £7.5million at the box office when it was released in the UK in May. But plans to show it in the US and other countries have now been thrown into doubt. Raynor is due to release her fourth book, titled On Winter Hill, later this year. Fans may not be so keen to read this account of her walk from coast to coast in the north of England with all the doubts about her reliability. Despite the controversy, the website of her publisher, Penguin, still describes The Salt Path as 'unflinchingly honest'. Half of that phrase still carries weight. The Raynor Winn I met was certainly unflinching.
