Liam insulted me but I'll sing every word at Oasis tonight… they blew me away when I was 21 & still do, says Vernon Kay
Vernon reveals what's lacking in music today and why the Nineties were so good MAD FER IT!

Oasis fan's heartbreaking moment as band helps her reconnect with her mother with dementia
Oasis fan's heartbreaking moment as band helps her reconnect with her mother with dementia After a bad day Oasis superfan Karen took her mother out for some 'car karaoke' and what happened next will make you smile The brothers are reuniting this weekend in Cardiff to kick off their reunion tour Live '25 (Image: Getty Images ) An Oasis fan has said the band's music changed her life and helped her reconnect to her mother after a dementia diagnosis. Karen, from Ireland, shared her story about her mother's dementia and how Oasis' music got her through the tough days while talking on the new BBC Sounds podcast Mad For Oasis. Her Oasis obsession started during the 90s, much to the disappointment of her mother. However one song particular bonded the two when going through difficult times. The five-part podcast is hosted by Noel Gallagher's daughter Anais and is a way of sharing Oasis stories that are "beyond the headlines" and how their music has changed fans lives before their upcoming reunion tour kicking off in Cardiff this weekend. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here Karen explained: "Growing up Oasis came on the scene and that was it for me. When I bought Definitely Maybe that CD went on and it literally got blasted, blasted, in my bedroom. My mother used to be downstairs, God love her, with the sweeping brush banging it off the ceiling going: 'Will you turn that down?' and I'm like: 'What?' "I used to be blaring it on the street. I just didn't care – that was just the way it was. Those days were the best days but my poor mother – all she listened to was Oasis non-stop." She once asked her mother whether or not she ever liked Oasis to which her mother said that she liked some of their songs. However when Don't Look Back in Anger came out Karen would catch her mother listening to the song in the kitchen and tapping her toes to the Oasis track. The daughter explained: "She never used to admit it to me – never. The radio was always on but she never sang to one song ever." Over time Karen's love for the band continued however not everything stayed the same as she said how things are "totally different" after her mother developed dementia and would often forget who she was. She explained: "I was around 45 years of age when my mam's memory was going so I rang the doctor." They referred the woman to a memory clinic where she was later diagnosed with the condition after she couldn't remember basic things or even recognise her own daughter. Karen tearfully revealed: "It's sad because the mother that I knew isn't there any more. That's how bad it's gotten. It's hard and it's true what they say [with] dementia: 'You lose them twice' and you know that's the way it is." However after a phone call from her father saying that her mother was having a bad day Karen took her for a day out in the car where they did "car karaoke". With Oasis being her favourite band the woman played their songs for her mother including her former favourite Don't Look Back in Anger. She said: "She loved the bit at the beginning. So I was keeping an eye on her and I was keeping an eye on the road. I looked over and her head was going. "The next minute she started singing. My mouth was open and I just went: 'Yay' and then I started singing. "Tears came to my eyes. She started the chorus, I started the chorus. She sang every word and at the end of it I went: 'Mum, that's Oasis' and she goes: 'Yeah'." She then went on to ask her mother if she remembered how she used to play Oasis all the time as a teenager and her mother didn't remember but she did say: "I just knew the words to that song when it came on." So Karen started playing the song on repeat so they could sing it together. The woman, from County Wexford, said: "There she is now – hasn't a clue who I am, doesn't know my name from Adam, but yet she knows Don't Look Back in Anger, which I think is magical." Karen hopes that others can bond with their loved ones through song. She said: "There's someone new everyday being diagnosed with this horrible disease and it's frightening to be honest with you. I know it's harrowing and I know it's horrible, they don't know you, and really they are just plodding along every day. But to have a few minutes where the two of you can connect through song is just the most amazing thing ever. "Don't Look Back in Anger – there was two parts of my life. When I heard it in the 90s I was young, didn't have a care in the world, and definitely didn't have the troubles that I have now. "Now it's connected me differently to my mam and it's made me happier, even happier than I've ever been because it's her song now and it helps me connect with her. Oasis' music will always be part of my life. Happy or sad it will always be a massive part of me." If you didn't manage to get your hands on the hard to get tickets you can enter our competition here to be in with a chance of winning tickets to see Oasis at Wembley . Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused. Article continues below Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly. Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.
