And while Oasis fans are gearing up to see the Gallagher brothers reunite for the first time in decades from tonight, one lucky Britpop fan got some one on one time with Suede frontman Brett Anderson. Taking to Instagram to share a selfie with the 57-year-old singer, the delighted fan wrote: "YOU GUYS I just spent the time in the Eurostar passport/security line talking to BRETT ANDERSON FROM SUEDE who is easily like, top five nicest people I've ever met and also HE LOOKS PERFECT????? "It is 100 DEGREES IN PARIS right now and this MF looks FLAWLESS???? Meanwhile I have sweat stains on every inch of my clothing." Indeed, Brett looked suave in a blue open-necked shirt and a pinstripe suit jacket, with his dark hair sweeping across his forehead. The fan added in a further comment: "I SIMPLY MUST COMMENT ON MY OWN POST HERE AND SAY: If a person THIS IMPOSSIBLY HOT can still be nice, nobody else has any excuse." Other music fans were quick to comment, with one writing: "Omg this is so great." Another added: "ONE OF MY FAVORITES EVER!!!!" A third incorporated lyrics from one of Suede's songs as they commented: "Omg a dream come true! [flame emojis] maybe maybe it's the clothes he wears." Suede first formed in 1989 and were branded "The Best New Band in Britain" by Melody Maker in 1992.

Jarvis Cocker and Pulp return to No. 1 with ‘More' — their first album in over 20 years
LONDON, June 15 — British band Pulp returned to the top of the UK album charts for the first time in 27 years on Friday as their new record More went to No. 1. More was released last week just before the group, led by Jarvis Cocker, kicked off a UK and Ireland tour. It is Pulp's eighth studio album and their first since 2001's We Love Life. The band, from the British city of Sheffield, last topped the UK albums chart in 1998 with This Is Hardcore. The Official Charts Company said More also topped the Official Vinyl Albums Chart. 'The day an album is released to the public is a very special day,' Cocker said in a statement on the album's release. 'The music changes from being something owned only by the band to something that can be owned by anyone - it can become part of people's lives. It's magic.' Pulp found fame in the mid-1990s Britpop wave with hits such as Common People, Disco 2000 and Help the Aged. They split in 2002 before reforming twice in subsequent years. More was recorded over three weeks in late 2024 and the band has previously said it was dedicated to late bassist Steve Mackey, who died in 2023. Mackey is credited as a songwriter on two of the album's songs. Pulp released the first single from the album, Spike Island, in April followed by Got to Have Love in May. — Reuters
