Vernon Kay has shared an endearing story about his daughter's encounter with Oasis legend Noel Gallagher, which left her 'red-faced' after receiving a thoughtful gift.
With anticipation building for Oasis's reunion tour kicking off tonight (July 4) at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Vernon played Songbird—one of the band's more obscure tracks—on his BBC Radio 2 programme, expressing his hope for a setlist packed with 'bangers.'
In the lead-up to the band's much-anticipated comeback, he revealed plans to take his daughter Amber, whom he shares with Tess Daly, to see them live, expressing pride in her for discovering Oasis on her own.
He recounted the moment she met the iconic musician, noting how surprised she was by the encounter.

He continued, describing her reaction: 'She went red – it's very rare that she goes flushed.'
He added: 'But he wrote a lovely, simple message on it to her—he personalised it. It was great. It was really nice.'

The memorable meeting took place after Gallagher performed on BBC Radio 2's Piano Room with his band, The High Flying Birds, earlier in 2023.
This heartwarming tale comes as Oasis prepares to reunite for their first live performances in nearly 16 years.
After years of highly publicised feuding, the Gallagher brothers have kept fans in suspense—but things took a dramatic turn last year. Nearly 15 years since their last gig, which took place on August 27, 2024, the band has now announced an eagerly awaited reunion with the declaration: 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.'

The sold-out tour is scheduled to wrap up with a final performance on November 23 at São Paulo's Estádio MorumBIS in Brazil.

Ban put in place for Edinburgh Oasis gigs as authorities commit to safety
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Ahead of Oasis playing three shows at Murrayfield Stadium authorities have announced a no-fly zone will be implemented at the gigs. Drones and other flying crafts will be strictly prohibited as aviation watchdogs issue a warning to anyone looking to deploy a device which could injure fans below. A penalty will be dished out to anyone breaking the rule and those behind the event have warned there will be an extensive security operation at the capital events. Similar rules were brought in for Oasis' comeback performances in Manchester's Heaton Park and Cardiff's Principality Stadium last month, the Sun reports. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are set to take to the stage in Scotland for the first time in fifteen years this week. They will play three sold out shows on Friday August 9, Saturday August 10 and Tuesday August 12. A source said: 'Banning drones above the gigs is the right move. All it takes is something to go wrong or someone who doesn't know how to properly fly a drone to make a mistake. "If one falls into the crowd people could end up badly hurt.' Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sentstraight to your messages. A Civil Aviation Authority spokesman added that the ban was 'in the public interest'. An estimated 210,000 fans are expected to flock to the Capital to attend the sold out gigs, the Record reports. Concert goers will face strict rules with metal water bottles, large bags, hip flasks and umbrellas among the banned items. Anyone found with knives, pyrotechnics or drugs will be reported to police immediately.

The concerts clash with Edinburgh's world famous Fringe arts bash of over 3,800 shows. A force spokesman added: 'We are working to ensure the safety of those attending events and minimise disruption.'

Oasis fan ‘left bruised after Liam's maracas wrestled away from her'
Oasis had just finished another epic gig, concluding the set with Champagne Supernova as fireworks lit up the sky. Leaving the stage on Sunday, Liam Gallagher, the band's lead singer, threw his tambourine to one side of the Wembley crowd and a pair of tied maracas to the other. The latter landed straight in the hands of Chantal Arpino, a 42-year-old mortgage adviser from Buckinghamshire. But before she could pocket her memento, she claims two men ripped the maracas from her, pulling back her fingers, drawing blood and leaving her with cuts and bruises. Arpino, who paid more than £1,000 for two tickets for her and her partner, said: 'I caught them in the air. I've got my hands on both of them but they are strapped at the handle and my hands were twisted holding on to them.
