Oasis fans spot subtle cameo by Liam Gallagher's newest family member at gig
As the stage lit up at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff to mark the first of many concerts of the Oasis world tour, many were left thrilled to see the Gallagher brothers reunite to perform their classic tracks. But one eagle-eyed fan noticed that Liam had made an effort to share his special moment with one of his "family members", after placing them on the big screen behind him - his beloved dog Buttons.
The frontman of Oasis, 52, had an image of his pet pooch who he rescued from the jungle in Thailand in full view on the big screen behind him. Liam adopted Buttons in 2023 and the pair have seemingly built up an unbreakable bond ever since.
Taking to X, Niall Harbison, who had originally rescued Button from the jungle, wrote: "Most people were probably looking at @liamgallagher and @oasis last night on stage."
He added: "Look a little closer and you'll spot a dog called Buttons. Her's is a remarkable story… "
He continued: "Button was a little puppy who walked into our sanctuary in Thailand in the middle of the jungle just as it was getting built. She had been abandoned. She kept coming back daily for food and hoping for company."
After rescuing Buttons, Niall put the pooch up for adoption only to find Liam and his partner Debbie were interested in taking Buttons home with them back to the UK.
Niall continued: "Little did I know but Liam and his partner Debbie had been following. After a long process she was adopted to them in the UK. Buttons has grown into a beloved member of the family and landed on her paws."
He went on to say: "Liam has been a big support of @wearehappydoggo and donated his globe from the last tour to raise funds. I don't think buttons realizes her dad is a rock star. She just loves her humans."
Niall concluded his post saying: "So if you are wondering why there is a dog on the @oasis screens now you know. Well done buttons. I think you can say you've made it when your dad has you on the big screen."
At the time, Niall had posted a number of images of Liam bonding with Buttons while in Thailand. In one picture shared on social media, Liam is seen dressed in a navy blue cagoule as he lovingly placed one hand under Button's chin while the other gently held Buttons' paw.
In another image from 2023, Liam is seen playing with Buttons as he held his hand up in the air instructing Buttons to jump up and catch whatever he held in his hand.
Ahead of the reunion tour, Liam has steered clear of alcohol and partying in order to give fans the best show of their lives.
But it wasn't that long ago the rock and roll star had vowed to maintain his boozy lifestyle until he was 80 years old.
In a Sky documentary Liam Gallagher: 48 Hours At Rockfield, he said: "I am not into yoga and I don't eat tofu. I drink lager and I like to have a good time. I don't punish myself into being some super-skinny dude."
He added: "I am what I am. I am not a 50-year-old going round preaching. I will be like this when I am f**king 80, hopefully."

Jessie J shares emotional breast cancer update that left her crying 'happy tears' as she thanks fans for their support following mastectomy
Jessie J has shared an emotional breast cancer update that has left her crying 'happy tears'. The singer, 37, had surgery two weeks ago after being diagnosed with breast cancer last month. And sharing an adorable clip of her two-year-old son Sky the night before the operation, Jessie confirmed to her fans that 'no cancer spread', before thanking them for their support. In the sweet clip, Jessie is heard encouraging her boy to say 'Mummy's going to be okay' as she prepared for the surgery to remove her breast. In the caption, she penned: 'AND.. I AM OK. Results = I have NO cancer spread. Happy tears are real', followed by several crying emojis. The Price Tag hitmaker continued: 'Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy. 'This video is from the night before my surgery. We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life, the darkness will never win. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters, but for now it's gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.' Her post was flooded with supportive and loving messages from her fans and showbiz pals, including pal Rochelle Humes. It comes after Jessie revealed she wished she said goodbye to her breast before undergoing a mastectomy. In an update on Saturday, she said that she is experiencing some 'delayed sadness' and felt 'disappointed' that she didn't say goodbye. Taking to her Instagram stories, she shared a candid post with fans, bravely opening up about her feelings. The performer admitted that she went into 'survival mode' when she first found out about her diagnosis and is now letting herself be angry and sad. In her post, Jessie wrote: '2 weeks post surgery.

Happy tears are real', followed by several crying emojis 'Now it's just me and my wonky boobs trying to figure out how to dress until I match them up. The left one is looking at me like "you ok babe?"' She continued: 'Also my experience was when I was diagnosed I went into survival mode. 'There was so much going on with appointments and in my mind esp with a toddler I had just moved and was about to start this campaign after 8 years away. Mad. 'I didn't really have a lot of time to process what was happening or what was going to happen. So I'm currently experiencing some delayed sadness and frustration by having time to process what IS happening. Jessie added: 'A little disappointed in myself I didn't say goodbye to my old boob enough. Sounds silly but that's where I'm at. Again that's my journey. I'm sure others feel different. 'But for me I didn't think beyond the surgery. I was just being strong. Well now I'm here and letting myself be angry and sad and all the things. Just for a few days. 'Then I will sew some padding in a bra to even them out order some t-shirts and crack tf on'. Jessie previously confirmed that she is not cancer free, a day after posting her hopes to be rid of the disease. She told her followers that she is allowing her to be angry and sad and is also feeling frustrated and a little disappointed The singer said last month that her previous post had been 'misunderstood' and while she was 'praying' for good news, the cancer at present had unfortunately not 'all gone'. Jessie went on to say that she was awaiting test results and would be taking a week's break from social media in order to 'focus on her recovery '. Speaking about the misunderstanding she wrote: 'I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... the cancer has all gone'. 'This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't. She went on: 'A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately'. Later Jessie said: 'Tapping off socials for a week. Healthy and needed reset. To focus on my recovery and saying stuff that gets twisted of misread'. 'My head and boob hurts. Lol, Bye. Always loveeeee'.

There was no reason to disbelieve it, there really wasn't."Mr Stephens said after Mr Gray confirmed their tickets last summer, it was only about a week before the concert that concerns began to day before the gig, Mr Stephens and his friend decided to drive to The Speculation Inn near Pembroke, a pub owned and run by Mr Gray's family, to confront him."I introduced myself and he told me the issue was with his mobile phone, which he said was the phone which contained all of the tickets," said Mr Stephens."He actually took a call during our time in the pub from a guy flying in from Gibraltar for the gig."He said that he would meet us outside gate three at 4:30pm and he would sort it out."

Inside notorious Scots gangster's glitzy night backstage at Oasis cosying up to Noel Gallagher & massive BBC star
GANGSTER Robert Kelbie has been snapped cosying up to Oasis stars and A-listers backstage at the Britpop legends' huge reunion gigs in Cardiff this week. The playboy Scots fraudster. 41. wore a VIP pass and a wide grin in the brazen snap shared on Instagram. 7 7 He brazenly shared pics of himself hobnobbing backstage with Noel Gallagher, Oasis guitarist Gem Archer, and former Doctor Who star Matt Smith. And in veiled dig at rivals - he posted video of himself at the gig on Instagram to the soundtrack of the Oasis hit Stay Young which includes the lyrics: 'Stay young and invincible, come what may we're unstoppable.' Kelbie, now living it up as a flashy boxing promoter, is no stranger to the high life and is a known enemy of caged cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson, 38. Richardson is currently behind bars, while his allies - including the feared Daniel Clan - are in a bloody turf war with Dubai-based Ross 'Miami' McGill and a group known as Tamo Junto. 7 7 Sources say Kelbie is revelling in the carnage ripping through his rival's empire. A rival hit out: 'Kelbie makes out that he's some sort of socialite and pals with the Gallagher brothers and most of these people won't know his past. 'He's an enemy of Mark Richardson and will be loving all the violence that's been directed towards his empire in Edinburgh. 'Kelbie and his crew swig champagne in the VIP area and try to legitimise himself by being a boxing promoter but if some of these stars Googled who they were posing for pictures with then they might think twice about it.' McGill, an ex-Rangers ultras chief, is now living in the UAE but was left raging after fake cash was used in a £500,000 drugs deal. Hundreds gather for double funeral of slain Scots gangsters Eddie Lyons Jr & Ross Monaghan He ordered blade attacks, shootings and firebombings across the Central Belt sparking a seemingly unstoppable gang feud. Kelbie - who was once filmed being floored by a rival more than a decade younger in a bareknuckle building site scrap - has links to fugitive Irish kingpin and ex-fight promoter Daniel Kinahan. He fled his home at Ratho Station, Edinburgh, in 2016 after it was blasted by Gerard Docherty, 45 — who was caged for 10½ years in 2018 alongside Richardson and other members of a £200million supergang. His appearance back stage at the Oasis gig is not the first time Kelbie has been seen in the company of the rich and famous. He's close pals with Tyson Fury, and even gave the champ, 35, a tour of Scotland last year — stopping off in trendy Edinburgh bars and taking in the sights. He's also been seen posing backstage with Noel Gallagher on other occasions. 7 7 Kelbie's celeb selfie stash also includes shots with Sir Alex Ferguson, 82, Wayne Rooney, and boxing legend Mike Tyson. His latest social media spree shows him mingling backstage as Oasis kicked off their hotly-anticipated reunion tour — but not everyone's impressed by his A-list antics. The gangster's red carpet lifestyle comes as Scotland's gangland war explodes, with two men arrested in connection with firebombings and attempted murder. The busts bring the total arrests to 52 as cops ramp up their crackdown on the on the escalating gang feud across the central belt. In a feared revenge for the gang war focusing on the Daniel and Richardson empires, the execution of two members of the rival Lyons group of hoods was ordered in Spain. Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were shot dead as they watched the Champions League final in Monaghan's Irish Bar in the resort of Fuengirola. We told how hundreds of mourners gathered on Friday for their double funeral. Lyons, 46, and Monaghan, 43, were laid to rest by loved-ones in a joint ceremony just over one month after they were gunned down. The solemn occasion comes days after we revealed authorities in Spain handed over the pair's bodies to relatives to be repatriated to Scotland. More than 500 friends, family and underworld figures gathered at Bishopbriggs Crematorium in north Glasgow to show respect to Monaghan and Lyons Jnr - son of Godfather Eddie, 67, and brother of Dubai-based mob boss Steven Lyons, 44.
