BREAKING: Oasis halt concert for emotional Stone Roses’ Mani tribute

By in Entertainment News, News

In their final weekend of concerts following Gary “Mani” Mountfield’s passing this week, Oasis paid emotional tribute to the Stone Roses bassist.

The band, which will play two dates in Brazil this weekend, will play at the Morumbi Stadium (Estádio do Morumbi) (Estádio do Morumbi), where they will wrap up their world tour. And they paid tribute to their friend and fellow musician Mani during the song Live Forever at the Sao Paulo opening performance. Behind the stage, there was a photo of Mani everywhere. Frontman Liam could be seen rehashing the image as the song came to an end, and the image remained up until the band started Rock ‘N’Roll Star.

Due to how close they were, the band had been tipped to pay Mani tribute. When he and Liam last appeared in public together on October 10 at Ricky Hatton’s funeral in Manchester, they were the only other people to have been together.

Live Forever tribute to Mani

Mani, who was 63 years old, passed away in Manchester on Thursday after his body was discovered close to Heaton Park, where Oasis had previously played earlier this summer, at the age of 30. Members of the band had also posted tributes to Mani earlier this week on social media.

On hearing the news about Mani, frontman Liam Gallagher said on X, a former twitter user, “in total shock and devastated. My hero, RKid, RIP. LG”. Noel Gallagher responded, “RIP Brother. I enjoyed interacting with you.

Bonehead also recited his song, “RIP Mani, “followed by a red heart, with guitar players Paul ” Bonehead ” Arthurs and Gem Archer. Not the first Oasis tribute to open the tour. In their first reunion show, they paid emotional tribute to Diogo Jota, a football player from Liverpool.

During the tribute, the entire main screen is filled with the images.

One day after the 28-year-old Portuguese striker was killed in a car crash with his brother André Silva in the Spanish city of Zamora, Oasis staged a comeback tour at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. An image of Jota wearing his number 20 Liverpool shirt was projected on the screen as the Gallaghers, the 75, 000-strong audience, roared out in applause as they performed the song Live Forever.

Ozzy Osbourne was also featured on the band’s first live performance at Wembley in 16 years. Ozzy passed away in the 76th year of his funeral.

Mani had just announced plans for an extensive speaking tour of the UK starting in September 2026, where he would look back on defining career moments like the Stone Roses’ 1990 Spike Island gig and their 2011 comeback tour.

He stated in an interview last month that “I’m in a great space right now.” I’m eager to return, bro. I’m prepared to return. He continued, “Johnny Marr is always trying to get me to do things.” Before the Oasis thing, Liam (Gallagher) had been trying to get me involved with things.

“I’m feeling like I could pick up again, I suppose.” I’ve been weeding out my collection while I’ve been in the lock up. Unfortunately, he was never able to play live in person again.

The Manchester-born actor was a devoted fan of Manchester United and frequently appeared on television and radio to talk about the team. The “Manchester music icon” and “passionate, lifelong Red” were the club’s official social media accounts.

After returning to the pitch for the first time in more than two years following a doping ban, Paul Pogba described his emotional Monaco debut as a moment of relief and gratitude on Saturday.

The former Manchester United and former Juventus player, who signed for the Ligue 1 side on a free transfer in June, had not played a competitive game since September 2023.

After testing positive for the banned substance DHEA, which raises testosterone levels, Pogba was given a four-year ban in February 2024. Following a court of appeal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced the suspension to 18 months.

The 32-year-old, who was recovering from a right ankle injury before coming on in the 85th minute of Monaco’s 4-1 defeat by Rennes at Roazhon Park, received a standing ovation.

I never imagined that would happen when I witnessed the crowd rise and cheer it on,” Pogba told reporters. I’m relieved to be playing football again, which is what I adore most.

“But I still need to work out to get back to full fitness and play 90 minutes,” he continued. “If I don’t do well at Monaco, I can forget about the French national team.”

I have faith in myself and in my qualities, and I never let up because I knew I had done nothing wrong and it was not my fault.

In his country’s 2018 FIFA World Cup victory, Pogba, who has made 91 appearances for France, was key. He was unable to represent France at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar due to knee and hamstring issues as well as knee surgery.

I’ve listed five simple faux fur looks that you can wear this season, whether you want a subtle, full-glam, or something else.

as a coat

The most straightforward way to embrace the trend is with a faux-fur coat. Whether you prefer a soft teddy texture or a sleeker style, when you combine one with a jumper and jeans, the entire ensemble comes off more polished. The coat should handle the heavy lifting, with the coat remaining straightforward. It’s inexpensive, has a little drama, and is warm enough to get that celebrity-winter look without the price tag.

Craig Revel Horwood: ‘Dad’s alcoholism got so bad he tried to shoot Mum and went to jail’

By in Entertainment News, News

The Strictly Come Dancing judge details his father’s addiction to alcohol and why he fled to the UK.

Judge Craig Revel Horwood has opened up about his troubled relationship with his father, Philip.

He claims that “he was a terrible alcoholic” throughout our early years. Alcoholism is a terrible childhood experience.

“It was just so abusive at home,” she said. That’s the justification for my dancing. I couldn’t stand being at home, not just because I was porky. I believe that led to a dance life.

“I lived 10,000 miles away from home for a good reason.”

Horwood reveals that the toxicology report found significant amounts of alcohol after Philip, a former lieutenant in the Royal Australian Navy, passed away suddenly.

He claims that “people don’t realize how dangerous alcohol can be.” “Poor dad had a disease,” he said.

He recalls an incident that caused his father to become abusive to his mother and sent him to prison for it. “It got so bad that Dad tried to shoot my brother-in-law and put me in jail for it,” he says.

He also recalls his father’s lengthy sobriety period.

He claims that he and I went through some of that with him while he was in AA for four years. He was only in his final four years of substance abuse.

It resembled Jekyll and Hyde, they said. I therefore decided that I would learn to love both him and who he might have been when he passed away.

And he has a strong love for his mother.

He claims that “she played a crucial role in nurturing my early interests, including my passion for performance.” Despite the difficulties at home, her presence gave the impression of normalcy and support.

He praises two additional outstanding mothers who also happen to be queens.

He says: “Queen Elizabeth ll bless her; gorgeous, was the most remarkable lady. I met her for an Australians Day in Buckingham Palace.”

Meanwhile, Queen Camilla is a friend.

He says, “I directed the show for the Royal Osteoporosis Society, which I am a patron and ambassador for, and Camilla is the president.” I personally have raised £500, 000 for that charity, so I’m very proud to have that platform on which to stand. We raised £350, 000.

“My dád called me and said “Jeez Craig” as Camilla and I were dancing together. I just happened to see you dancing with that bloody Camilla on the six o’clock news, on the bloody news, and on the bloody news?

His close friendship with Anton du Beke is one of his most unexpected revelations, given their airtime spats.

He admits, “I really love him.

While of the BBC show that made him a household name, he adds: “Strictly continues to inspire me.”

‘Why it’s time for women’s FA Cup prize money to be same as men’s’

By in News, Sports News

Director of Lewes FC

Everyone is hoping that with a good wind, they can make it all the way to Wembley this weekend because the women’s FA Cup second round is taking place. Can’t we just dream?

Lewes Football Club, which I am currently the director of, became the first and only professional or semi-professional club in the nation to support its men’s and women’s teams equally in 2017.

Our women’s team has since experienced greater support, matching their higher league position, thanks to the Football Association’s central grants and commercial revenue shares. Moving from an equity-focused position to one that is Equality FC.

We have also been campaigning for equal FA Cup prize money for both women’s and men’s competitions since 2019. This is not a catchphrase, but rather a strategy.

The FA Cup needs to catch up with the fairytale if it truly is, as it claims to be, “the game’s great leveller.”

A victory in the second round of the FA Cup is worth £79,500 for a men’s club. For the women it is just £8, 000 – a £71, 500 difference.

The difference is £41, 750 in the first round, and £86, 500 in the third round. Same game, the same rules, the same competition, the same governing body, but with a different emphasis on the players.

Let’s avoid using the common justifications: “commercial reality,” “revenue difference,” “it’s complicated.”

No, it’s not. The prize pool for both competitions is determined by the FA. Tomorrow they could be equal, it’s just that you need to want to do it.

By focusing on broadcast revenues and crowd sizes, it is simply too easy and lazy to ignore the demand for equality as some people do. Yes, men’s TV rights are currently worth more, and there are higher attendance rates for men’s matches.

However, the FA does not participate in gate receipts, making the discussion of equal prize money irrelevant. There is ultimately no valid justification for maintaining unequal prize funds because the FA is publicly committed to redistribution.

The FA has previously chosen to ignore our requests for clarification and dialogue, but has recently gotten more accommodating.

Ironically, the FA is aware of how to “do equality.” The same match fees and bonuses have been paid to the women’s and men’s England teams since 2020. The St George’s Park policy is based on the adage “equal pay for equal performance.”

Why isn’t equality a requirement for the FA Cup?

So, is it not important whether the FA supports equality. That belief is halted by the FA Cup, though.

This season’s men’s competition has a total prize pot of £23.5 million, while the women’s prize pot is £6.14 million. Is the FA basically telling women and girls that they are not as valuable as their male counterparts?

The Lewes FC campaign calls for a more equitable division in the men’s competition in addition to promoting equality between the women’s and men’s competitions.

The £23.5 million men’s prize fund will currently go to wealthy Premier League clubs where it is unlikely to have a significant impact. Small clubs would benefit more from a more equitable distribution of the rewards across the pyramid, helping them survive and prosper rather than just aiming to fill the highlights reel once a year.

Football’s finances are incredibly risky and becoming increasingly dangerous, as I now only know now, so here is a quick and efficient way to ensure that prize money is distributed more evenly and fairly. Our full proposal can be found at equalfacup.com.

Lewis director Ben Hall and chief operating officer Kelly Lindsey hold up an equals signLewes FC

Why do we request clubs to hold a 21-second pause?

We have written to every club in the women’s competition this year asking for their support and taking some basic steps, such as a team photo before kick-off and a 21-second break after kick-off, in honor of the FA’s ban on women’s football.

Women’s football was denied decades of development, investment, and, most importantly, the building of the cultural capital that is so essential to the success of the men’s game: the ingraining of football into our daily lives. The ban lasted for 50 years.

This is a reminder of what football stands for, not a protest against it. The premise of the FA Cup was that any team could win, and that Wembley-based teams were equally important.

Equalizing FA Cup prize money is a single, straightforward, and transformative step because the FA wants the women’s game to stand on its own two feet. Giving out prizes in the same way is not charity; rather, it is a form of honoring performance.
