Liam Gallagher makes cheeky reference to THAT Coldplay kiss cam moment at final gig
Liam Gallagher made a cheeky reference to the Coldplay concert kiss cam scandal at Oasis' final Heaton Park gig last night (July 20). A TikTok post went viral this week after it appeared to show a couple embracing at the Coldplay gig in Boston on the big screen - who looked panicked and ducked down out of sight when they realised they were on camera. The pair were later identified in US media as Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, the chief executive and chief people officer at US tech firm Astronomer. READ MORE: New images from Gallagher Hill chaos as camping chairs and bottles hurled in brawl READ MORE: Inside the five-star Manchester hotel where Noel Gallagher is living in luxury during Oasis reunion Mr Byron has since resigned, as the story went global, even reaching the ears of the Gallagher brothers, as Liam made reference to the viral moment before launching into one of Oasis' most romantic songs at their final gig. Before launching into Slide Away, Liam said: "This one's for all you love worry we don't have a camera, it's not a Coldplay moment. "It's none of our business who you're with - doesn't matter who you're tingling with, mingling with and ******* with." It came as the band closed out a historic five-date string of gigs at the north Manchester park, attended by up to 80,000 fans per night. The M.E.N.'s Dianne Bourne wrote that there was a 'real frisson in the air' with the crowd in the mood for 'one final epic party'. And that frisson seems to have reached Gallagher Hill, a knoll in Heaton Park outside of the concert area, where thousands of ticketless fans had gathered to catch a glimpse of the stage - and listen to the music floating across the park. Previously passing without incident, the peace was broken last night when a few fans began 'scrapping' and throwing bottles at each other - though police said it was an 'isolated' incident and quickly resolved. The band themselves paid tribute to Gallagher Hill, turning the cameras on the fans gathered there, to huge cheers from the crowd - and handing out free t-shirts to commemorate the phenomenon. An emotional Noel summed the gigs up in the encore, saying: 'For the last ten days the eyes of the world have been on this city of Manchester and I just want to say to all Mancunians, you've done yourself f***ing proud. 'We've got people coming in from all over the world… what I can say by staying in the city is you've still f****ing got it Manchester.' Liam earlier made his feelings clear, saying: "It's been amazing being here the last f***ing ten days, you've actually blown whatever brain cells I had left. They're well and truly gone.'

How YouTube Is Shaping a New Generation of Chefs
It was the fall of 2023, and James Lowe, the London-based chef who'd made Lyle's one of the UK's best restaurants, realized he needed help. Despite 20 years of cooking experience, including stints in elite kitchens such as the Fat Duck and the River Cafe, the 45-year-old had never butchered a bluefin tuna. The UK had just awarded local licenses to catch the fish, though, so Lowe had ordered a 180-kilogram specimen from a favorite supplier in Cornwall. Carving up the pricey fish—especially a daunting behemoth of 400 pounds—is no small endeavor. 'Almost none of my chefs had prepped it before, and every piece has a different name,' Lowe says. Not even the knives they used regularly were meant for the task.

Oasis at Manchester Heaton Park set list for Sunday July 20
Oasis have now bid farewell to Heaton Park following their stellar run of Manchester shows this past week. Their five performances at Heaton Park will have attracted close to 350,000 fans across the five dates and have been hailed as a big return to form for the iconic local band. The Live '25 tour marks the first time Liam and Noel Gallagher have reunited on stage in nearly 16 years, following their split in 2009. But when they announced last summer they were coming back, it sent fans in a frenzy to secure tickets. Some ten million people tried to secure tickets for their run of UK and Ireland shows, as fans came up against inflated ticket prices due to dynamic pricing and other sales issues. READ MORE: Review: Oasis wet and wild final show that 'blew Liam's mind' READ MORE: LIVE: Man dies on M60 with Oasis fans stuck in huge motorway closure - latest updates Heaton Park became a fan frenzy - both inside and outside of the fenced stage area - with an area iconically dubbed 'Gallagher Hill' also proving a hit with ticketless fans hoping to get a glimpse from outside the park. Thankfully, the set list for the 2025 tour appealed fans thanks to a mixture of some of their most anthemic hits, fan favourites and popular B-Sides. Of course, they wouldn't get away from playing Wonderwall or Don't Look Back In Anger. Following the conclusion of Manchester shows, Oasis will nowplay Wembley Stadium in London across five dates between July 25 and August 3. They'll also play Edinburgh and Dublin before heading out on a string of international dates later this year.
