The Oasis Live 25 tour has been life changing and hugely memorable for millions of their fans – and the band’s frontman Liam Gallagher says it has saved his life too.
Liam, brother Noel Gallagher and the rest of the band have just completed the Australian leg of the world tour and are now off to South America.
Since the Summer, Liam has avoided cigarettes and alcohol as well as drugs, in order to protect his voice.
And asked by a fan if he missed it, Liam replied: “Oasis saved my life. It’s about time I sorted my nappa out. I know how much this means to people so stopping drinking and smoking and snorting Gary baldies are sacrifices that needed to be made.” He signed off the message: “Thems the rules MCFC,” in a nod to his football team, the treble-winning blues, Manchester City.
When another fan asked him if he misses the “occasional Guinness”, Liam replied: “Yeah I miss talking absolute b***ocks when I’m bladdered.”
Sources close to Liam told the Mirror in the Summer that he was on a health kick and had ditched booze and drugs. Even before the live shows had started he was not drinking much. On his Definitely Maybe solo tour last year he would have the occasional pint of Guinness or glass of wine with his partner Debbie, but in the main stayed away from alcohol then as well.
By contrast many of the fans have enjoy booze-filled reunions with friends as they watch them perform, with many saying the shows have been the best they have ever seen.
Liam was in talkative mood on X, formerly twitter, after Manchester City beat Liverpool 3-0 on Sunday. When an Arsenal fan suggested City would now win the title, normally confident Liam said: “It’s yours to lose and your f***ing good at that so congratulations MCFC.”
Oasis now travel to Argentina to play Buenos Aires before continuing to Santiago and Sao Paulo in Brazil.
In August Noel named the two nights at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, home of iconic Argentine club River Plate, as the ones he was really looking forward to. He told TalkSport: “The River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires in November.
“It’s the second last show and we’ve played there a couple of times.

“The Argentinians are without doubt in the top five places for us to play in the world and it’s the furthest away from Ireland and Manchester.
“Everybody is looking forward to River Plate because it’s a special, special, special place for us.”

A much-loved BBC star who worked for the broadcaster for 30 years has sadly died. BBC cameraman John Williams has passed away, with former colleagues offering up warm tributes to the “well-respected” worker.
The news was revealed on Pebble Mill’s Facebook account on Sunday evening. The post read: “Hi, I’ve heard sad news from James French. John Williams, whom we knew was very ill, has sadly died. He will be much missed.”
A cameraman for the BBC, John was known for his work across various shows from the iconic Pebble Mill studios in Birmingham. The post was accompanied by a photograph of John, while filming for the BBC drama Howards’ Way, a popular daytime drama about the Howard family and the yachting world, which ran from 1985 to 1990.

Friends and colleagues swiftly flooded the comments section with their own memories, one sharing: “Had no idea he was unwell. A dedicated and highly respected cameraman.”
Another wrote: “Oh how very sad . Such a lovely, highly talented, and respected colleague. I was only reading his very touching tribute to sound recordist John Gilbert the other day in Prospero. How ironic we are now paying tribute to John himself. Rest in peace and condolences to his family.”
Another shared fondly: “Such a very lovely man to work with and a great mentor to all.” Meanwhile, a fourth penned: “I was forever in his debt. He was brilliant for helping me shoot my very first short film in early 90’s.”
John, who worked for the BBC for an impressive thirty years, wrote about his colourful career in the book, Shoot First, No Ordinary Life.
Previously discussing the book and his three decades at the Beeb, he had written on Pebble Mill’s website: “I like to think we were a family with all that entails, and that family still shows itself, meeting every month as pensioners support one another and reminisce on the good old days.
“My one hope is the BBC has not lost this family and is still there amongst my colleagues working in the brave new world.”
Meanwhile, the weekend also brought news of BBC Director General Tim Davie’s shock resignation over the alleged editing of Donald Trump’s speech of a Panorama episode. Davie handed in his resigned amid the fallout over the selective editing of a speech made by President Donald Trump for an episode of Panorama.

In a statement, he admitted there had “been some mistakes made” and that he had to “take ultimate responsibility”. The chief executive of BBC News, Deborah Turness, also announced her resignation following a newspaper report earlier in the week, which accused the corporation of selectively editing a speech by Donald Trump on the day of the US Capitol attack.

Vogue Williams looks to be preparing herself for jungle life as she took a cold dip in Scotland. While the UK weather might be a far cry from that Down Under, the I’m A Celebrity campmates get offered cold showers in camp.
And the presenter, 40, seemed to be embracing the shivering temperatures with her loved ones. Vogue spent the weekend at the Glen Affric Estate with her three children; Theodore, six, Gigi, five, and Otto, three. They were also joined by friends.
She lowered herself into the cold waters while wearing a skimpy two-piece black bikini. As she headed down the steps, Vogue fully submerged herself as she let out a shriek due to the water’ coldness.

There was no sympathy to be had, though. Instead, son Theo was heard laughing at his mum’s distress.
The upload to Instagram was paired with a comment from the star, which read: “A weekend with the girls in one of the most beautiful places on earth. You know you’ve had a brilliant time when you feel sad leaving.”
Now, it seems she will be preparing for a whole new way of life for a number of weeks. Her impending appearance comes 10 years after her husband, Spencer Matthews, was axed from show.
Made In Chelsea man Spencer, 37, was removed from camp after three days back in 2015. At the time, he was axed after he was taking steroids and didn’t tell producers beforehand.
Vogue has already had experience with tough shows in previous years. She won Bear Grylls: Mission Survive.
And her appearance will make her the second model to join this year’s camp. Kelly Brook also headed to Australia, despite saying she would never do the show.
A number of stars have already touched down in Brisbane. Among them is Emmerdale star Lisa Riley. The actress said in the airport she could cope with any creepy-crawlies. She said: “I’ve worked on a farm and it’s part of the job.”
Earlier in the day, Kelly had been all smiles after she touched down. She joked to reporters “I haven’t seen my auntie Sheila for a long time so I can’t wait to see her, and I’m so excited that you’re all so excited for me.”
Talking of her own creepy crawly encounters, the model joked there might be some in her “relative’s” garden. She added: “I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m visiting a distant cousin.

“I’m looking forward to surfing. Like I said, I’m looking forward to seeing my distant cousin that I’ve not seen for a long, long time… the koalas and the kangaroos. So much to look forward to.”
Dynasty icon Betty Harford has died. The actress died “peacefully with family at her side,” earlier this month her close friend has announced.
Her friend, Wendy Mitchell said on Facebook: “Betty’s son contacted me this morning and Betty Harford Naszody passed away peacefully with family at her side, noon on November 2, 2025, she was 98.” Just one day prior, she announced: “Betty is 98 and was living in Carpinteria, and the last I heard from her was two months ago, she had been recovering from the flu.
“However, I went by to see her and she did not answer. She’s not answering her phone anymore, so I’m afraid that she might’ve passed on.”
Betty was 98 at the time of her death, on November 2, in Santa Barbara, California. The actress was best known for her role in the ABC soap opera as cook Hilda Gunnerson, appearing throughout its nine-year run. She later returned for Dynasty: The Reunion in 1991.

As well as her role in Dynasty, Betty is also best known for playing Mrs Nottingham, the secretary of Professor Charles Kingsfield, in the CBS legal drama, The Paper Chase, between 1978 and 1979, as well as its revival on Showtime in 1983.
Over the course of her career, which spanned four decades, she appeared in various huge shows, including Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Dr. Kildare, The Twilight Zone and The Big Valley.
She also appeared as Mrs Forbes in the 1959 movie, The Wild and the Innocent, before going on to make appearances in Adventures in Paradise, The Law and Mr. Jones. Betty also appeared in the 1979 movie, The China Syndrome, which was nominated for four Oscars just one year later.
Betty also played the older sister to Natalie Wood’s title character in the 1965 drama, Inside Daisy Cooper, which was directed by Robert Mulligan.

She was born in New York on January 28, 1927. And started her acting career in her 20s, securing her first job on the radio, Gunsmoke and docu-drama series, Crime Classics. However, her last role saw her voice Gumba in the 1994 video, Fun with Gumby.
She married California sculptor Oliver Andrews before the pair welcomed their son Chris in 1952. However, she and Andrews split in the 1970s. She went on to marry Hungarian actor Alex de Naszody, who tragically died aged 81 in 1996.
Betty is survived by her son, Chris, and her grandchildren. Fans have taken to social media to offer their condolences, with one writing: “Mrs. Gunnerson was always running around making food and being sane while the rest of Dynasty….were part of the ridiculousness. Rest in Peace, Betty!”
A second added: “My sincere condolences to her family. May she rest in peace.” “Such sad news I remember watching her on Dynasty,” said a third.

In February this year, YouTuber Nick Yardy, whose real name is Nicholas Hunter, made waves with a seemingly unbelievable announcement.
The 29-year-old internet sensation took to his social media platforms to announce what’s usually considered to be the best news in a person’s life. The public’s reaction? Utter disgust. So, what was the announcement which made people’s toes curl, as droves of social media users took to the internet to make note of their out-and-out repulsion? Nick announced he was going to become a father. To two children. At the same time. With a 22-year-old content creator. And her mother.
You read that right. The YouTuber revealed to millions of his fans that he had impregnated 22-year-old OnlyFans model Jade, as well as her 44-year-old mother Dani. The reaction to his news was as you’d expect. Curiosity and disgust. Famous for his antics on social media, this announcement was a little too much even for his die-hard fans to swallow.
Scores of ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ and ‘oh my god this is disgusting’ comments infiltrated Nick’s social media and in true Nick Yardy fashion, the YouTuber doubled down and shared a gender reveal video on March 8 the following month. At the ‘gender reveal party’, which was seemingly attended by Nick, Jade, and Dani’s family and friends, the ‘throuple’ (three-person couple) announced that they were having a girl and a boy.

The news spread like wildfire with media outlets picking up the outrageous story. And then Nick did the most shocking thing of all – he told the truth. In a tell-all interview with the Daily Mail, the YouTuber confessed: “There are no babies. It’s just, like, a skit. It’s not actually real.”
He added: “People that follow me, they’re just looking for entertainment and I don’t think they really [believe it].” Although he revealed the larger farce, Nick remains adamant about one thing – his relationship with Jade and her mother Dani is real.

The content creator, who has 3.54 million subscribers on YouTube and a following of 2.4 million and 1.2 million on Instagram and TikTok respectively, frequently uploads different skits starring women on his socials. However, the South Floridian claims he’s been in a relationship with his live-in lovers, Jade and Dani, for nearly two years.
Taylor Swift admits her ‘hobbies could be categorised as hobbies you could have had in the 1700s’ in rare insight into her life at home with her fiancé Travis Kelce

Taylor’s love story with Travis was certainly unexpected – and it could almost have been a plot taken straight from Hollywood. “It was like a fairytale,” says Annie Zaleski, author of Taylor Swift: The Stories Behind The Songs. “We saw Taylor being wooed by this handsome football player, as if we were watching a movie unfold in front of us. There was something so irresistible about it, and it felt like she had been manifesting the relationship through her songs for years.”
It all began on 8 July 2023, when Travis attended one of her Eras Tour shows at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Keen to get acquainted, he tried to fix up a backstage meeting so he could give Taylor one of her hugely popular friendship bracelets bearing his phone number. However, his efforts failed, which he later admitted left him “butthurt”.

He said, “She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal.” But admitting he was “mesmerised” and “captivated” by her Eras performance, Travis then declared his interest in her on his and brother Jason’s podcast New Heights two weeks later.
Two years on, Taylor appeared on the same podcast with Travis and Jason, claiming Travis had thrown a “man tantrum” when he “didn’t get a meet and greet”. In the episode this August, which broke a Guinness World Record as 1.3 million people tuned in, she compared his pursuit of her to “an 1980s John Hughes movie”, and added, “He was just like standing outside my window with a boom box just being like ‘I wanna date you!’”.
Joking that Travis used his podcast as “his personal dating app”, she called it “such a wild, romantic gesture”, and said, “I’m glad it worked.” She also told how it was “sort of what I’ve been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.”
Following Travis’s podcast confession, he and Taylor did meet. “We started hanging out right after that,” she revealed. “We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.” One of their first dates took place in the Big Apple, with Travis later saying, “When I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there.”
In September 2023, Taylor was seen at a Kansas City Chiefs match with Travis’s mum, Donna, which many falsely assumed was their first date. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,” Taylor later said. “I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game… We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” As Annie says, “They were able to take the time to get to know each other in private, and I think that was so important. They realised they had a lot in common and that there was something really special there.”
The pair bonded over a love of cooking and watching movies, and Annie points out, “Both Taylor and Travis are very grounded and very family-oriented. They share such similar values.” Travis himself hails from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, where he and Jason were brought up by Donna and Ed Kelce. Although their parents are no longer together, Donna has said, “We’re very, very small. We’re tight-knit. We stay together and try to help each other as much as we can.”
Travis has drawn parallels between Donna and Taylor, highlighting their “kindness, their genuineness, their ability to say hello to everyone in the room”, and that they “show love and support, no matter what”. He also let slip one of the main things that drew him to Taylor, saying, “Why I really started to fall for her was how genuine she was around friends and family.”
Dad Ed believes his sons have never lost sight of who they are, either. “My boys know where they’re from,” he said last year. “Have fun while you’ve got it, but that doesn’t make you a better man. They fully understand that how you treat people is what’s important in this world.”
As boys, Travis and Jason, who is two years older, were both highly athletic. Jason played NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles for 13 years until he retired in 2024, while Travis joined the Chiefs in 2013, playing the position of tight end. He has also dabbled in TV, hosting the 2024 game show Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity? , as well as the 2016 dating series Catching Kelce , in which he dated women from each of America’s states. “The fact Travis knew the workings of fame meant he understood Taylor’s world,” says PR expert Lynn Carratt, director of E20 Communications. “They could treat each other as equals in that sense.”
As Taylor and Travis’s relationship gathered pace, she was regularly seen watching Chiefs games, often with her parents, Andrea and Scott, as well as her oldest friends and celeb pals. As you might expect, Taylor’s game-day outfits were on point from the get-go, and she made an art form of jazzing up a Chiefs sweater, T-shirt or jacket with her matching signature red lips. By the end of 2023, it was clear that Taylor and Travis were the real deal, and they were seen smooching at a party in Kansas City as the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve.
Then, at the Super Bowl in February 2024, photos of them kissing at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas after the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers went down a storm. “That was the turning point in their relationship, I think,” says Lynn. “It looked spontaneous and warm, and it changed the narrative for anyone who had thought it was just a showmance.”
Meanwhile, Travis became a regular attendee at Taylor’s Eras shows, and he was spotted in the audience at least 14 times in various cities, from Buenos Aires to Sydney. As the ultimate Swiftie, he called Taylor “an absolute machine”, saying of her three-hour set, “It was something I could admire watching, and I think about it all the time.”
He also told how keeping the romance below the radar took great effort, saying in the US podcast Bussin’ With The Boys, “It’s like you want to keep things private, but at the same time I’m not here to hide anything, like, that’s my girl, that’s my lady, so I’m proud of that.”
Despite their work commitments, the pair spent as much time together as possible, splitting their time between their luxurious properties in New York, Kansas and Rhode Island. It’s an arrangement that still works today, and the couple appear to have settled into a life of domestic bliss. “My hobbies could be categorised as hobbies you could have had in the 1700s,” Taylor recently said. That includes sewing, painting, cooking and a passion for baking.
Admitting being “very deep in a sourdough obsession”, she said, “I’m really talking about bread 60 per cent of the time.” Travis has also referred to their unstarry life behind closed doors, saying, “Whenever I’m with her, it feels like we’re just regular people. When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love.”
Annie believes their non-showy behaviour is one thing that draws fans in. “Despite all their fame, they’ve kept a sense of the everyday, doing things that normal couples do. It’s very sweet, and makes them so much more relatable.”
