Cast halt Oasis support performance to pay tribute to Diogo Jota in moving speech
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info In a heartfelt moment during their set on the Oasis tour, Cast paused their performance to pay a poignant homage to the late Diogo Jota. Standing before fans at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Cast's lead singer and fervent Liverpool supporter John Power said, "This is Walkaway. This one is for Diogo Jota. Take it easy brother." The touching lyrics of the song echo sentiments of perseverance and letting go with lines including: "And now you must believe me, you never lose your dreams, so now you must believe me," coupled with the refrain, "Just walk away, walk away, walk away. That's what they say, what they say, what they say. You gotta walk away." As support to Richard Ashcroft, Cast is joining in on the large-scale Oasis stadium tour that's rolling through UK cities such as Cardiff, Manchester, London, and Edinburgh, and will also include a stop in Dublin at Croke Park, reports the Mirror. Notably, their song 'Walkaway' was picked by the BBC for the emotional ending to its broadcast of England's semi-final match in Euro 96. The sudden passing of Jota comes after he and his brother Andre suffered a horrific motor accident in Spain. The brothers died when their car burst into flames following a tyre blowout, which happened as they were overtaking another vehicle on the A-52, just 70 miles west of Valladolid. The tragedy struck mere days after Diogo tied the knot with his partner, Rute Cardoso. (Image: Getty Images) Sadly, a blown tyre led to Diogo and his brother Andre's vehicle spinning off the roadway before engulfing in flames. A fire broke out around 12.40am, spreading to nearby vegetation before being extinguished by firefighters with support from the Civil Guard. Medical officials confirmed the death of the car's two occupants shortly after arriving at the scene. The identities of the pair were initially unknown to police, who only had the vehicle's licence plate for reference. Diogo had wed Rute, mother to his three children, just ten days prior and expressed feeling like "the luckiest man in the world" following their nuptials. Heartbreakingly, Rute was tasked with identifying her childhood sweetheart post-mortem. Rute informed police that Jota and his brother intended to stay overnight in Benavente before continuing their journey to Santander on Thursday, aiming to catch a ferry to Portsmouth, as per Portuguese reports. Psychological support was sought for Jota's wife, and any personal belongings salvaged from the Lamborghini fire were handed over to her. It was a relative of the brothers who raised the alarm when they failed to arrive in Benavente, and later, documentation confirmed they were Portuguese citizens. Liverpool, Jota's former team, released a heartfelt statement: "Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota. The club have been informed the 28-year-old has passed away following a road traffic accident in Spain along with his brother, Andre. "Liverpool FC will be making no further comment at this time and request the privacy of Diogo and Andre's family, friends, teammates and club staff is respected as they try to come to terms with an unimaginable loss. We will continue to provide them with our full support." The Portuguese forward joined the Reds from Wolves in 2020, netting 65 goals in 182 appearances, including six during their Premier League title-winning campaign last season. Jota also claimed the FA Cup and League Cup with Liverpool, in addition to two Nations League titles with Portugal.
