Liam Gallagher 'doing everything he can to make sure he can go on' with Oasis reunion tour
Oasis' support act Cast have opened up about what it's been like to warm up the crowd on the band's UK tour dates before Liam and Noel Gallagher take to the stage. Cast frontman, John power, is currently supporting the Oasis stars on their huge world tour, which is set to come to Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh for three nights next week.
Cast have played the opening slot for the Oasis Live 25' tour since July ahead of Richard Ashcroft at all of the gigs so far in Cardiff, Manchester and London. Scotland is the next stop on the tour after the final two dates at Wembley this weekend. Oasis will play three shows in the Capital on August 8, August 9 and August 12.
Speaking about Liam and Noel's relationship on tour and how their vocals are fairing in an interview with Vulture, the singer said there is currently a "positive energy" between the brothers. The former La's rocker told the publication that the pair 'seem to be in an absolutely wonderful place'.
He added: 'They both genuinely … well, of course they want to be there, but you can feel the positive energy. It's all going hunky-dory.'
John also applauded frontman Liam, who has suffered with vocal issues in the past, for "whatever he's doing" to keep his voice on "top form".
He said: 'He's very, very focused at the moment. I know that this tour means a hell of a lot, if not the world, to him.
"He's doing everything to make sure that he can go on. The worst thing is if you're tired, because your voice gets knackered and a bit strained.
"He's in top form at the moment. Whatever he's doing, he's doing the right things because his voice sounds absolutely wonderful.'
Liam and Noel have been walking out onstage hand-in-hand each night in a display of union and have even been seen embracing one another at the end of some sets, the M.E.N reports.
The Gallagher brothers had a very public fall out which lasted for 15 years following a back stage argument at their final concert in Paris before they split in 2009.
As for Liam's incredible vocals, he and Noel are said to be using straw phonation.
The brothers are said to have been using a number of paper straws backstage to blow into to keep their voices warmed-up before each gig.
A source told The Mirror: 'Noel and Liam are doing everything in their power to ensure they sound at their very best for these mammoth sold-out shows. It is well know that Liam has had issues with his voice in the past and he has found straw phonation to be a great way to warm-up his vocal cords.
'Noel has been an advocate of it for years since he had issues with his voice when he supported U2 on tour in 2019. It has made a huge difference to how he sings. There will be plenty of paper straws backstage for the brothers, but they won't be used to sip cocktails.'
Noel has previously confirmed how he came to use a straw to warm-up his vocal cords.
Speaking on The Matt Morgan Podcast in 2022, Noel said: 'When I was on tour with U2 there was a lot of parties.
"At one point, when we were in Australia, my voice was shattered, it was in a bad way. We'd been out late the night before and we had a gig the next day and I woke up and my voice was f***** and wasn't coming back.
'So, I went to see a vocal specialist in Melbourne. I go in there and the guy says, 'Sit down Mr. Gallagher, so I believe your voice is a bit crook?' I said, 'Yeah. It's a bit f*****, I've been on the road for a couple of years.'
"'Do you warm up before you go on stage?' I said, 'A bit, but I don't really like belting it out.' To cut a long story short he gave me this straw, just a normal paper straw, and he said, 'Half an hour before you go on, in your room, put some music on and put this straw in your mouth and just hum along to whatever comes on and your vocal cords will warm up.
' I went, 'Really?' And he said, 'Just try it mate, it will change your life.' I did and it's an amazing little trick.
'I was a bit sceptical, but it really does work."
The Record also previously reported that Liam has been drinking one liquid regularly to keep his voice in check - apple cider vinegar tea.

The Oasis star has been seen drinking the concoction on stage throughout the tour, which is mixed with honey.
He previously said: "I drink a lot of funky drinks. I have this apple cider vinegar, the one that everyone bangs on about. Apparently, it's great for everything. Mam has it for arthritis and it's really good for her.
"So I have vinegar, some honey and then I have some turmeric, some cayenne pepper, a squirt of lemon, hot water, stir it round and drink it.
"It's really good for when you get a hoarse voice. I've got a thyroid problem - Hashimoto's disease - so I can get a really hoarse voice."

Love Island star reveals 'crazy' link to Liam Gallagher after being dumped from villa
A dumped Love Island favourite has revealed their impressive links to Liam Gallagher and his niece Anais Gallagher after being axed from the villa Former Love Island contestant Tommy Bradley has revealed he once carried out gardening work at the home of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher. Tommy, 22, was dumped from the ITV2 dating series alongside Lucy Quinn nearly three weeks ago. Speaking on GK Barry's Saving Grace podcast, the Hertfordshire landscape gardener explained that before joining the show, his work often took him to celebrity properties. 'When I tell people I do gardening, it doesn't sound as good,' he said. 'But we'd go to footballers' houses and celebrities.' It comes after dumped Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke took a brutal swipe at Harry and Shakira after being axed from the island for a second time. Asked who the most famous client was, Tommy replied: 'Liam Gallagher. I'm a massive Oasis fan and there was a point when a company I joined used to do his maintenance like cut his grass, cut back hedges, general tidy‑up.' Tommy said his stint with the company coincided with Gallagher temporarily leaving the property. 'I joined that company when he moved out for building work. His house was being renovated and he moved to the Cotswolds,' he explained. 'I was only there for three months, just for the summer, and when I left, he moved back in. I was actually gutted." Although he did not meet Gallagher during that time, Tommy said he has since had an indirect connection to the famous family. He revealed Noel Gallagher's daughter, Anais, had commented on one of his TikTok posts. 'I was buzzing,' he said. 'I then went on Instagram and saw she follows me, so I followed her back. She sent a video of Noel and Liam on stage and I messaged her like, 'Counting down the days.'' Tommy said the exchange ended there, but he has plans to see Liam Gallagher perform later this year. 'I'm going in September at Wembley,' he said. 'She asked me what show I'm going to and I told her. She liked the message but that's all it's been left at.' The gardener appeared on the summer 2025 series of Love Island and has became known for his romance with fellow contestant Lucy Quinn before the pair were eliminated. Since leaving the villa, he has been discussing his life before reality TV and the unusual celebrity encounters he experienced through his gardening work. It comes after Tommy's love interest Lucy finally addressed her viral voicenote following her exit from the Love Island villa. The makeup artist, 21, faced backlash when a message she had sent to a friend before entering the ITV2 reality show as a Bombshell was leaked. In the 37-second recording, fans heard her plan to couple up with Tommy - who at that point had just finished dating Megan Forte Clarke - as a supposedly guaranteed way to make it to the final, and was grilled by host Maya Jama on the incident during an appearance on Sunday's Aftersun. She explained: "So obviously, like, we probably have all done it, like, sent voice notes to friends and obviously, I really did trust that friend. "So, with the Tommy situation, I was just saying that he's a very nice boy and, like, that's why I wanted to get to know him." Insisting that she did not intend for the message to come across as a game plan to win, she said: "I did say 'Til the end', but it weren't like, the final, obviously, I was meaning, like, I wanted to be with him in the future. Someone with really good morals and stuff like that. The Liverpudlian also used her airtime to insist that Tommy is a boy her father approved of, and profusely apologised to Megan, whom she had labelled a "f***king little slapper" but insisted she is not normally the type of person who would say that. She added: "And, also, before going on the show, my dad did say to me, like, 'He's the kind of boy I'd like you to bring home because he's just very respectful. And then, obviously, talking about Meghan as well, I should never have commented on someone who I've never met before. So I do really apologise about that, I'm actually not that type of girl. " Lucy claimed that the whole scandal has "been blown out of proportion" and that she didn't expect everyone to hear the voice note in the first place. In response, Maya told her: "That's definitely not a good friend, I hope you blocked her after that" and Lucy confirmed that she is no longer in contact with the person who leaked the voice note.
