Noel Gallagher's ex Meg Matthews' message to Oasis star hours before tour
Meg Matthews has been reaching out to her former husband Noel Gallagher, just hours before Oasis kicks off their highly anticipated reunion concert. Their first show is set to take place tonight on Friday, July 4, in Cardiff.
Tonight the duo are set to make their iconic return to the stage for the first time in 16 years. Noel and Liam Gallagher will electrify Cardiff tonight as their reunion tour finally kicks off, which will also see the brothers make an appearance in Edinburgh later this year.
In the lead up to tonight's gig, Meg, 59, has been sharing nostalgic photos with Noel, 58, on Instagram which has sparked speculation that the duo, who divorced in 2001 after a four year marriage, might be rekindling their romance once more.
Despite denying these rumours, Meg confirmed she will be attending the London leg of Oasis tour while engaging with fans of the band, as reported by the Mirror.
Meg took to Instagram on Friday today ahead of the gig (July 4) to post a series of throwback pictures showing her and Noel enjoying themselves at a club, captioning it: "TODAY IS THE DAY 4th July 2025 Finally here .... OASIS REUNION TOUR, Britpop was a British music and cultural movement that peaked in the mid-1990s, characterized by a revival of British guitar pop from the 1960s and 1970s, in contrast to American grunge."
She continued, "It was not just a genre, but a reactionary and patriotic cultural response, celebrating British identity, working-class roots, and everyday life.
"To everyone who's there when they walk on the stage at 8.15pm will be a piece of history."
Commenting on the shared photo, she reminisced: "That night was a lot of fun can't remember what after party gig it was .. back then there was always one which I was in charge of organising through @creationrecords money and fun had no limit back then."
Responding to a fan's query on one of her recent posts, Meg confirmed she would be attending at the first London date with simply responding "Yes".
Leading up to Oasis highly anticipated tour, Meg has been sharing vintage photos from her time with Noel on a daily basis. On Thursday, she posted snapshots of the couple from the 1990s and early 2000s, sparking excitement among fans.
Meg expressed her enthusiasm in the caption, asking: "DAY 2 COUNT DOWN .... What song are they going to kick off with ? Let me know your thoughts below."
Meg and Noel tied the knot in Las Vegas in June 1997 and later welcomes daughter Anais, before parting ways after four years and eventually divorcing. Noel later married Sara McDonald, who he also later split with.

Ricky Hatton 'to come out of retirement' after 13 years for December bout
Ricky Hatton has not fought professionally since a short-lived comeback against Vyachslav Senchenko in 2012 but will reportedly step through the ropes once again in Dubai later this year British boxing icon Ricky Hatton will reportedly come out of retirement for a bout in Dubai later this year. It is claimed the former two-weight world champion will take on Dubai's first-ever professional boxer Eisa Al Dah on December 2. Hatton, 46, has not fought professionally since taking on Vyachslav Senchenko in Manchester in 2012, three and a half years after he had hung up his gloves following a defeat by Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas. The Hitman was stopped in the ninth round by Senchenko and said afterwards: "I needed one more fight to see if I had still got it – and I haven't. I found out tonight it isn't there no more." But, 13 years on, he will step back into the ring, report The Sun. Hatton was in Cardiff to watch fellow Mancunian legends Oasis make their long-awaited comeback after 16 years on Friday night. And having been walked to the ring by Noel and Liam at the height of his boxing career, he will now seemingly embark on a similar return. Hatton was reportedly due to fly to Dubai this week to launch the fight at a press conference, only to be scuppered by an eye injury suffered at the Oasis gig. Hatton is one of Britain's most popular ever fighters, becoming renowned for taking huge swathes of support over to Las Vegas for huge fights against the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Paulie Malignaggi and Pacquiao. The Brit had a perfect 43-0 record before he took on Mayweather at the MGM Grand in 2007, which was billed as one of the biggest fights in boxing history. As impressive on the mic as in the ring, Hatton trash talked Mayweather in the build-up to the fight but could not claim victory on the night, being stopped in the 10th round by the pound-for-pound king. Wins over Juan Lazcano and Malignaggi followed, but Hatton was brutally knocked out by Pacquiao in May 2009 in the second round on what was, for all intents and purposes, his boxing farewell. But a homecoming at the Manchester Arena followed against Senchenko in November 2012 before an un-scored exhibition bout against Marco Antonio Barrera in 2022.

Former Westlife singer Brian McFadden, who shares two daughter with Kerry Katona, and his long-term partner Danielle Parkinson recently tied the knot at a beachside ceremony Brian McFadden's daughters beamed with pride as they attended their dad's wedding to long-term partner Danielle Parkinson. The former Westlife musician and his new wife tied the knot at a gorgeous beachside ceremony this week, with their closest friends and family attending the intimate event. The newly weds were seen grinning from ear to ear as they posed in beautiful matching white outfits. They said 'I do' in a stunning beach ceremony that was also attended by Brian's two daughters, Molly and Lily McFadden, from his previous marriage to former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona. Brian and Kerry's daughter shared a quick glimpse of the wedding as they posed for the camera. Molly, 23, and Lily, 21, wore simple yet elegant makeup for the special occasion. They waved as Lily said "hi" to the camera lens as they enjoyed the event, which saw Brian and Danielle exchange vows in front of their nearest and dearest. Brian shared a clip from the wedding on his Instagram page as well as snaps of the happy couple dressed in all-white and cream as they smooched and raised a glass to the camera. One fan commented on Brian's post: 'So happy for you both – here's to laughter, love, and a forever kind of harmony', while another added: 'Awh congratulations to you both absolutely beautiful wishing you many happy years together'. A third penned: 'Congratulations to you both, you all look wonderful. Hope your day was perfect', while a fourth said: 'Huge congratulations to you both. wishing you both all the love & happiness possible'. The former singer star met Danielle Parkinson back in 2016 and popped the important question three years later in 2019. The couple reportedly wanted to get married sooner but had to postpone their wedding due to the pandemic. Danielle and Brian also went through two miscarriages before they welcomed their daughter in 2021. Kerry and Brian split up a long time ago but Kerry gets 'on well' with Danielle. In a recent interview, she said: "I get on really well with his fiancée. I think I might have a girl crush on her. I always go off of what my girls say for a stepmum, and she's the best stepmum." She continued: "On Mother's Day, I sent her a message. I went, Happy Mother's Day, Danielle. I think she's lovely and they've got a beautiful little girl, Ruby. I wish them nothing but joy and happiness."
