'I'm a lifelong Oasis fan - but I've sold my opening gig tickets after Liam's offensive comments'
A lifelong Oasis fanhas been left "completely heartbroken" and has decided to sell her ticket for the band's opening gig, after being offended by a now-deleted social media post from singer Liam Gallagher. The 52-year-old frontman came under fire for using a racial slur on X, formerly known as Twitter. Social media users quickly condemned his actions, with one fan reprimanding him by posting: "Liam, you can't say that" following his use of an offensive term typically aimed at mocking or imitating languages spoken in China or by people of East Asian descent. Liam removed the post and offered an apology, saying: "Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn't intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. Peace and love LG x". Despite his apology, some fans have expressed their disappointment over the incident, reports the Manchester Evening News. Yue Xiong, who comes from Shanghai, China but now lives in London, shared that she had been an huge fan of the band since she was 16, crediting their music with having "saved [her] life". Nevertheless, Yue described Liam's remark as "completely not acceptable". The Goldsmiths student disclosed that she had sold her ticket for the opening night of Oasis' reunion tour, Live '25, in Cardiff tonight (July 4) because of the comment. On Thursday, the 23 year old student made a day trip to Cardiff to protest. "I've been I've been a huge fan since 2017," Yue shared. "All of my adolescence I was just listening to Oasis – it got me through life and the music really saved my life. "But I kind of stopped being a fan two days ago because what Liam said is completely not acceptable. As an Asian and as a Chinese person I could not deal with it just by keeping silent and accepting what he was saying." She added: "I just can't participate in that anymore. Otherwise it will be disrespectful for my own community where I come from." Yue also expressed her disappointment at the lack of response to Liam's comment, stating: "I felt people would need to speak up about it. "So if no-one talks about it, it just adds more pressure to everything. But I felt the need to say something. "It is not okay for someone to say something extremely racial, targeting an Asian community, on a social platform." Yue mentioned that she had sold her ticket on Wednesday as a "gesture" – two days before she was supposed to attend the Cardiff gig. Although saddened by giving away her ticket, she admitted she would be "completely heartbroken" if she went to the show. As a dedicated fan, Yue revealed she had met Noel Gallagher several times and apologised to the singer-songwriter for missing the Cardiff show, clarifying she still admired him and his music. Despite Liam's apology, Yue felt it was insufficient. "It was not sincere," she remarked. "It was not really an apology. I see it more as a PR strategy but it's not even enough for a PR move because what he said was extremely controversial and when people pointed it out he said: 'Whatever'. "He didn't see it as a problem. He then deleted that tweet. So he definitely feels it is not appropriate for him to say anything like that." Despite her decision not to attend the gig, Yue visited Cardiff the day before the concert as a form of protest. Explaining her reasons for protesting, she stated: "The C-word is not acceptable in any circumstances. "If Liam said the N-word or anything against transgender people the media would stand up for that community. But it seems like it's okay for people to treat and make fun of the Asian community like that. "[The protest] is not coming out as an attack to Oasis but it's about defending our own right – it's about speaking up for our own community. It's about making the world right again." She added: "My partner, he's white, his friends and people in the industry found it not acceptable. But they were just really surprised as nobody said anything about it. "I've been talking to loads in the Chinese community fan groups. They're completely shattered, they're completely heartbroken." Oasis is set to perform at Cardiff's Principality Stadium tonight, Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, with fans descending on the Welsh capital in anticipation of the event.

Patsy Kensit dodges tense Liam Gallagher question with blunt four-word statement
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher's ex wife Patsy Kensit has shared a stern four-word statement about the band's long-awaited reunion tour, which kicks off tonight in Cardiff As Oasis prepares to take the stage in Cardiff for their long-awaited Oasis Live '25 reunion tour, Liam Gallagher 's ex-wife Patsy Kensit has made one thing clear; she's not getting involved. The actress, 57, who was married to Liam from 1997 until their split in 2000, walked the red carpet this week for the West End opening of Fawlty Towers, where Good Morning Britain caught up with her. With her arm in a sling, Kensit was asked whether she planned to attend any of the reunion shows, which marks the first time Liam and brother Noel have performed together since 2009. She was quick to set boundaries. 'My 24-year-old son is gonna be there, and gonna have a lovely time, great for him to see all of that,' she shared. 'I'm happy for his dad, I think it's a wonderful thing, but I won't be attending." When pressed further on how the feuding brothers might hold it together for a full tour, Kensit shut the topic down altogether. 'I think I've said enough now about that. I send only love and light," she said firmly. Last year, as rumors of a reunion swirled, Kensit posted a message on Instagram, distancing herself from the narrative. 'I will say no more than this I am really happy for Liam and Noel. I'm sure the tour is going to be thrilling and I send nothing but love and light to them both… No more questions it was 25 years ago.' Her reluctance to revisit the past likely stems from her tumultuous history with the Oasis frontman. In a previous interview with the Mirror, she opened up about the highs and lows of their relationship. At the time, she said: 'We just clicked on every level. He was protective and loving. When we were together there were fireworks, and a chemistry that lasted to the end." However, the reality behind the scenes was far less romantic for the actress. 'I cried every day for three and a half years… The first week we were living together he went AWOL. I'm just realising now that isn't normal… I gave the most I'll ever give. I'm gutted it didn't work out.' As for the band itself, tensions may still be simmering. A source close to the tour revealed that as rehearsals began, they didn't go smoothly as hoped. 'Liam barely even stayed for the first eight songs before leaving the rehearsals early, and Noel continued on his own," a source revealed. Oasis's long-awaited reunion tour, Oasis Live '25, storms back into stadiums tonight debuting on July 4–5 in Cardiff, then heating up Manchester's Heaton Park with four nights in July. They will then play London's Wembley for another four dates in late July and early August, before performing at Edinburgh's Murrayfield for three mid-August shows. Liam and Noel will wrap up the UK & Ireland leg at Dublin's Croke Park across two nights. After that, the brothers take their iconic Britpop anthems worldwide, touching down in arenas across North America, Asia, Australia, and South America through November.
