Oasis fans spot Liam Gallagher's heartwarming hidden tribute during Cardiff gigs
As Liam Gallagher reunited with his brother Noel Gallagher on the stage for the first time in 16 years, he gave a heartwarming tribute to his dog during their first gig back. As they took the stage in Cardiff to open their iconic reunion tour, an image of the dog named Buttons was included in the visuals on the big screen behind the brothers.
Buttons has a wild life story of starting out homeless in Thailand to finding a home with one of the Oasis frontmen. Niall Harbison, who founded the Happy Doggo sanctuary in Thailand, explained the dog's wonderful story online, which triggered a huge response from fans.
He explained that the dog Buttons was an abandoned puppy who walked into the sanctuary while it was being built and ended up getting adopted by none other than Liam Gallagher.
Naill wrote on X, formally known as Twitter, 'Most people were probably looking at Liam Gallagher and Oasis on stage, Look a little closer and you'll spot a dog called Buttons.
"Her's is a remarkable story. Buttons 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.
'Day after day Buttons came back. I eventually took her in and put her up for adoption. 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.'
The sweet dog could be seen in multicolours on the big screen with a button on either side of its adorable face while the brothers performed to a huge crowd.
Continuing the story, Naill added: 'Buttons has grown into a beloved member of the family and landed on her paws. Liam has been a big supporter of We Are Happy Doggo, and donated his globe from the last tour to raise funds.'
'I don't think Buttons realises her dad is a rock star. She just loves her humans. 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.'
One person wrote in response: "She is a gorgeous dog! What a wonderful story!", while another added: "Buttons is a rags-to-riches story, going from days of not knowing if a human would feed her, or kick her, to being queen of someone's heart. She even looks regal.'
In addition, Oasis delivered a touching tribute to the late footballer Diogo Jota. The Gallagher brothers performed their 1994 classic Live Forever in memory of Jota, who tragically passed away at the age of 28, along with his younger brother, following a devastating car crash on July 3.

Brits humiliated as 'simple' maths question for children leaves adults stumped
A seemingly simple maths question designed for children has left swathes of adults struggling to work out the answer - with some saying it 'hurts their head' to think about it Swathes of Brits have been left red-faced after failing to solve this 'simple' children's maths puzzle. Brainteasers like this may seem like just a little bit of fun, but they're actually a great form of mental exercise. There has even been some research published that suggests regularly solving puzzles like this one can actually help improve your concentration levels and better your attention span. They're also a great way to spice up your morning commute, and can keep the kids quiet for a couple of minutes while you try to get dinner sorted in peace. However, this particular brainteaser is leaving fully grown adults rather humiliated - as they just can't manage to solve it. Admit it, we've all been stumped by a maths question that seems like child's play for our kids but leaves us scratching our heads. With many mathematical concepts gathering dust in the recesses of our memories, it's no surprise we're left baffled by puzzles meant to be easy-peasy. And this crafty conundrum is causing quite the stir online. The brainteaser spread like wildfire on social media, with some folks even claiming it bamboozled their brains so much it 'hurt'. As previously reported, the brainteaser made its rounds on X (formerly Twitter) courtesy of @yawdmontweet, who asked: "What is the closest time to midnight?" You have four choices to pick from: A. 11:55 am B. 12:06 am C. 11:50 am D. 12:03 am While the answer might leap out at you, the replies under the viral post were a mix of confusion and debate. A large chunk of the commenters landed on A, figuring it's the one closest to midnight approaching. A baffled user declared: "It says closest 'to' midnight. And not 'from' Midnight. Stop overcomplicating everything. The answer is A." Another pointed out: "It says closest TO midnight ... not after midnight. A," while a third added: "Would have to be A. Time cannot go in reverse so the fact that B and D are after midnight means they can't be the answer." But others quickly shot down this theory, arguing that the question was simply asking which time was 'closest' to midnight, regardless of whether it came before or after it, leading them to insist that the correct answer would be D, 12:03 am. One person argued: "Y'all are getting me f***ing mad now. If you call an airline and ask for the closest flight to midnight possible and they put you on an 11:55 am flight instead of a few minutes past midnight, you would be frigging furious. Maths is supposed to be practical." Support came from another who said: "How y'all saying 'to' not 'after'. If you have to work at midnight and you're running late, and you tell the boss 'I'll get there as close to the time as possible' which of these is that?". Someone else jumped in to clarify: "The question speaks to proximity and not chronology, so the answer is D," while yet another stated firmly: "Clearly a lot of children have been left behind. The answer is D! 'To' just means closest to the time itself, not insinuating that it's necessarily before midnight." Up for another mental workout?

Liam and Noel ‘staying in separate hotels' on Oasis tour
Noel and Liam Gallagher stayed at different hotels 20 miles apart on the first two nights of the Oasis reunion tour, it has been claimed. The Oasis frontmen put years of mutual animosity behind them to perform together in Cardiff on Friday and Saturday to 75,000 fans at the Principality Stadium. After the gigs ended, however, the brothers travelled to separate hotels, MailOnline reported. When Oasis's two-hour long gig ended on Friday night, Liam left the stage immediately and got into a black SUV. Noel, meanwhile, remained on the stage and waved to fans before walking off with the rest of the band. Liam, 52, is said to have booked the Celtic Manor Resort, which is located on the edge of Newport. Meanwhile, Noel, 58, stayed at the Parkgate Hotel, a four-star venue next to the Principality Stadium. Last month, the hotel suggested on TikTok it might be hosting one of the brothers. 'Rumour has it a certain rock 'n' roll star is checking in ahead of the big gig at the Principality,' a spokesman said at the time. He is said to have stayed at the hotel with his daughter, Anaïs Gallagher, a 25-year-old model who also attended the gig. It is unclear whether the brothers' separate hotel bookings were down to tensions in the band. 'The atmosphere was absolutely electric and Liam and Noel were delighted with the first night,' a source told The Sun on Sunday. 'They were a bit shell-shocked. It went better than anyone could have imagined. The lead-up has all been carefully orchestrated, as everyone knows how delicate and fragile Liam and Noel's relationship is. 'They don't want to over-expose themselves to each other. Having separate residences is the best option so they can relax in their own space.' Speaking to The Mail on Sunday, however, another source said: 'They can't stand each other because they still have not forgiven each other. It's all very frosty and awkward. We all doubt they'll make it to Australia at this rate.' As the show began shortly after 8pm, the Gallagher brothers walked onstage side-by-side before clasping their hands together in the air. For the rest of the set, however, the pair stood about 30ft apart and interacted little. Oasis broke up in 2009 after a backstage altercation between Noel and Liam at the Rock en Seine festival near Paris. In the years since, the former bandmates traded insults in public, with Liam deriding his brother as a 'potato'. Last August, they announced that 'the guns have fallen silent' and that they would reform to play a tour in 2025. Its 41 sold-out shows will see the band appear in Britain, America, Australia and South America. According to analysis by Birmingham City University, it could make Oasis £400 million from ticket sales and merchandise.

My chinwags with the Oasis brothers: what Noel and Liam Gallagher told me
O asis are back, and I'm cashing in. Cashing in socially, anyway. I haven't (yet) found a way to monetise the fact I have interviewed (separately, eight years apart) both Gallagher brothers. A lot of my colleagues weren't even born in 1995 and were only dimly aware until the reunion was announced of who Oasis were. But they know who they are now, that's for damned sure, because they're the hottest ticket of the summer. There is considerable cachet in being able to say airily, 'What? Old Noel and Liam? Yeah, bagged them both back in the day. One-on-one sit-downs, face-to-face. None of your Zoom nonsense in those days, dear me no.' I tend to gloss over the fact that I had met Noel in 2001 and Liam in 2009 respectively, a few and many years past their (What's the Story) Morning Glory?/Knebworth/feud with Blur heyday.
