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.

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.'
