It's been too long," and then swiftly transitioned into Morning Glory.

The Manchester brothers swaggered out into the Principality Stadium to incredible noise from the crowd tonight, for the biggest rock reunion the world has ever seen.
Walking on stage to their 2000 track, F***in' in the Bushes, the band were welcomed by cheers from the sold-out crowds as thousands of pints were thrown into the air.
Noel and Liam, who have only been snapped together twice since announcing the tour almost a year ago, went straight into their hits as 70,000 fans cheered in the stadium.
It was estimated more than 100,000 people travelled to Cardiff yesterday, with some hoping to get a last minute ticket or just to be there to celebrate in the pubs and bars as they parties late into the night with Oasis songs played on loop.
Super fans Lachlan Weekes and Jayden Helm, who travelled all the way from Australia to attend the concert in the Welsh capital, were among fans gathering ahead of the gig.
Mr Weekes said: "We've been planning it forever. We always said that if they got back together, we'd be at that first show." Mr Helm said: "We've been lifelong fans - we're 22 and 21, so haven't really had a chance to see them before.
"We always said it was worth it to come, we wouldn't miss it for the world," he added. "To take time off work to come over here, it's more than worth it." The pair also visited Manchester, where the band formed in 1991, stopping off at Heaton Park as part of their personal Oasis tour.
Alex Schuetz, an Oasis fan from Germany, said you could not travel far enough to see the band. "The first time I saw them was in 1997," he said.
"The last time was in Manchester 2009, just before they broke up. I even got a ticket for a small festival in Germany, and on the ferry to that festival, I heard they broke up. I was like, 'Oh my god' something was dying inside of me - it sounds a bit stupid, but it took me ages (to get over it)." He added: "I've come from Germany. You cannot travel far enough, I've been a fan since 1995.'

Justin Bieber lands eighth Number 1 single with new hit DAISIES after he aired marriage problems on album
Justin Bieber has landed his eighth Number 1 single with his new hit DAISIES, the focus track from his seventh studio album. The singer, 31, seemingly laid bare his and wife Hailey's relationship struggles in the emotional lyrics of his new album – although has declared that he 'will not' leave her. Over the past few months, Justin has raised eyebrows with his hollow-eyed appearance and his social media posts. Fans have been harboring mounting concerns over Justin's health, and there have also been rumours of marital strife with Hailey. His single has climbed three spots putting him level with Oasis, The Rolling Stones and Sam Smith on the all-time list of artists with the most Official UK Number 1 singles. It marks Justin's first UK Number 1 single in six years and his first solo chart-topper in nearly a decade, since 2015's Love Yourself. His latest album, Swag, which Justin released July 11, appears to allude to a challenging time between the couple, who have been married since 2018. After months of rumors about the state of the A-list couple's marriage amid concern for Justin's well-being he has vowed to ' change' for his wife following a rocky period. In the album's second track, Daisies, Justin appears to be singing about him and Hailey being at loggerheads and failing to communicate clearly. The lyrics read: 'Throwin' petals like, "Do you love me or not?" / Head is spinnin', and it don't know when to stop / You said "Forever," babe, did you mean it or not? / Hold on, hold on. 'You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message / Instead of a line it's three dots, but I can connect them / And if it ain't right, babe, you know I respect it / But if you need time, just take your time / Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it.' In track 10 of the 21-song track list, titled Walking Away, Justin sings about the couple 'taking a break' and 'testing patience.' 'Days go by so fast, don't wanna spend them with you / So tell me why you're throwing stones at my back / You know I'm defenseless,' he sings in the first verse. 'Girl, we better stop before we say some s*** / We've been testing our patience / I think we better off if we just take a break,' he continues. But the chorus and subsequent verses paint a picture of their enduring love despite strife. 'Baby, I ain't walking away / You were my diamond / Gave you a ring / I made you a promise / I told you, I'd change / It's just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain't walking away,' he sings in the chorus. Ahead of the album's release, Hailey had some choice words for their fans as she took to social media to promote it. She took aim at the 'losers' who've speculated about their relationship as she re-posted a photo of Justin's massive Swag billboard in NYC's Times Square, captioned: 'Is it finally clocking to you f***ing losers?' She appeared to suggest that Justin's recent bizarre behavior wasn't the result of any marriage troubles but due to him being hard at work on his long-awaited music, which he partially recorded in Iceland back in April. Hailey also recently revealed what Justin is really like as a father and admitted she ' struggled to accept' her surprise pregnancy. The Rhode founder and the pop star welcomed their first child together, a baby boy called Jack, in August 2024. Speaking to Vogue Italia as their August 2025 cover girl, Hailey appeared to quash the rumors of a rift between her and Justin, as she gushed over him being an 'extraordinary' father, 'a natural', and 'seeing her as a goddess, a superhero'.
