Oasis fans praised for ‘touch of class’ moment to disabled fan at Heaton Park

Oasis have embarked on their come-back tour where thousands of fans have waited more than two decades to see the iconic band perform once again

Oasis fans have been praised for a “touch of class” moment as they lifted a disabled fan into the air at Heaton Park to give him a better view of the Gallagher brothers on stage. A video has gone viral of the touching moment a collection of concert-goers hoisted the fan up over the weekend.

Thousands of fans have tried their hardest to get their hands on tickets to the Oasis come-back tour after the band haven’t performed together for two decades. Liam and Noel Gallagher returned their native Manchester as they performed at Heaton Park in front of 80,000 fans.

While the band put on the biggest screens in UK concert history, many were still doing their best to get a great view of the iconic reunion as it unfolded in front of them.

A video has been posted on social media which shows several people lifting a disabled fan into the air to get a better view of the stage. Thousands of users have viewed the video and have since praised fans of the band.

One person commented: “Touch of class that. Well done lads.” While a second said: “Oasis fans are the best.” The men who are holding the other man in the air are smiling and singing along to the Oasis tunes.

Meanwhile, the man being lifted is wearing an Oasis-branded t-shirt and bucket hat while singing the lyrics word for word himself.

Another video which showed the same thing was uploaded to TikTok which showed a slightly different angle to what happened. The woman who posted it explained what happened in the caption: “Hey guys! This is Daniel – he went to night one of @Oasis with his brilliant sister Jemma. He wasn’t able to get disabled access tickets.

“A lady (unsure of her name really sorry if you see this!) got our attention and started to ask around to see who was able to help – she was brilliant!

“My husband is at the back with the grey cap on but we don’t personally know the other lads – lovely guys though! We’ve been lucky to find a few of them through this video! I’ve spoken to Jemma and this was Daniel’s first concert – he had a fantastic time! @Liam Gallagher @Noel Gallagher’s HFB thank you everyone for sharing! Music [has] brought everyone together once again.”

Another sweet moment took place at one of the Heaton Park concerts over the last few days.

A couple also got engaged as Oasis performed their song Slide Away.

Scooter Braun delivers verdict on Justin Bieber album two years after they cut ties

Scooter Braun has shared his thoughts on Justin Beiber’s seventh studio album, titled Swag – which has been released two years after they stopped working together

Scooter Braun has delivered his verdict on Justin Bieber’s new album – two years after their working relationship came to an abrupt end. Music manager Scooter, 44, helped discover Justin, 31, when he was just a 13-year-old boy singing songs on YouTube.

Over the years, Scooter helped craft Justin’s career – which included smash hits such as Baby, What Do You Mean?, and Sorry. But the boys went their separate ways in 2023 following the release of Justin’s album, Justice, which topped the charts in 2021.

On Friday, Justin stunned fans when he dropped his seventh album, Swag, without previously promoting it. The record drew favourable reviews from critics and left fans picking through the lyrics to find clues over the state of his marriage to Hailey Bieber as the pair have appeared strained in recent months.

The Canadian pop star collaborated with a string of musicians and producers on the album, including Sexyy Red, 2 Chainz, Dijon, Mk.gee, and more. And while Scooter was not involved in the making of the album, he has endorsed the record – branding it Justin’s finest effort to date.

Taking to social media on Saturday, the music manager lavished praise on his protégé and urged fans to give the album a listen. In a glowing Instagram Stories post, he wrote: “Been having a beautiful start to the weekend and been getting a lot of texts about how I feel about Justin’s new album.

“So I will just leave this here.. This is without a doubt, the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date. It’s beautiful, raw, and truly him. And that matters.”

He continued: “I’ve had the privilege of witnessing his growth for almost two decades. Along every journey, there comes a time when an artist fully steps into their own — and that’s what he’s done here. He’s poured his soul into this project, and you can feel it in every single run.

“The way he chose to release it is just as intentional as the music itself — and I’m happy to see him do it this way. I have played no roll in this one, but as someone who’s always believed in him, I’m incredibly proud and impressed and genuinely enjoying the music.”

Scooter added: “Justin has a special tone that I have witnessed for almost 2 decades. It’s the best in the world. And because of that special tone, I have to say daisies is probably my favorite record on the album.”

In a final call to action, and update on the rest of his day, Scooter concluded: “Stream Swag and support and authentic voice. Now I’m off to take my kids to watch Superman. Have a great weekend.”

Fans have delighted in Justin’s new album – which contains revealing tracks including Go Baby which shows him praising his wife, Hailey. The couple, who share a baby son named Jack, have faced scrutiny in recent months with fans fearing for their marriage.

But Justin’s lyrics heap praise on his wife – and takes aim at the gossip surrounding their romance.

His lyrics begin: “That’s my baby, she’s iconic, iPhone case, lip gloss on it / And, oh my days, she keeps ’em talkin’, it’s comedy, just block it, oh, my baby.”

Other tracks show the singer reflecting on his past and future – while lyrics also show him opening up about his faith and deep belief in Christianity.

Children collecting water among 59 Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza

At least 10 Palestinians have been killed at a water collection point in central Gaza, six of them children, as famine spreads in the besieged enclave and food and water supplies remain at critically low levels.

Israeli forces on Sunday killed at least 59 Palestinians, 28 of them in Gaza City, as they targeted residential areas and displacement camps across Gaza, medical and local sources told Al Jazeera.

The attack on the water distribution point in Nuseirat refugee camp, which also wounded 16 people, came as the Israeli military steps up attacks as it prepares to force the entire population of Gaza into a concentration zone in the south.

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said there is a water crisis across the Gaza Strip.

“Even though water is not suitable for drinking as most of the time it’s contaminated, thirst is pushing people to these areas,” he said, referring to Nuseirat.

“This is not the first time it’s happening. This is close to 10 times and just in the past few months when people were directly and deliberately targeted as they were trying to get water.”

Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza killed at least 110 Palestinians on Saturday, including 34 people waiting for food at the Israeli- and United States-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution site in Rafah.

Mahmoud said nearly 800 Palestinians have been killed since the GHF began distributing food parcels in Gaza at the end of May through its “monopoly of humanitarian aid distribution”, pushing aside other efficient, more organised and trusted organisations, including the United Nations.

“A person can pick up a food parcel for their family, but that is not nearly enough to feed hungry children and hungry family members, and that’s the tragedy,” he said.

“People are forced to make these dangerous trips from northern Gaza, from Gaza City, all the way to Rafah city. They walk for 12 to 15km [7.5 to 9 miles], and it takes them a whole day. Some do that at night, sleeping inside bombed-out buildings, to get there as early as possible. Despite all of these efforts to get there as early as possible, they are met with live ammunition and deliberate shooting by Israeli forces.”

[Al Jazeera]

At least 67 children have died of hunger in Gaza since October 2023, Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Saturday.

Furthermore, UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, warned of a sharp rise in malnutrition cases as Israel’s blockade of the coastal enclave entered its 103rd day.

In a statement, the agency said one of its clinics in Gaza has seen an increase in the number of malnutrition cases since March when the Israeli siege started. “UNRWA hasn’t been allowed to bring in any humanitarian aid since,” it said.

The warnings came as Israeli forces continued to target starving Palestinians.

On Sunday, an Israeli warplane struck a house in the al-Sawarkah area west of the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing 10 people.

In the northern Gaza Strip, six Palestinians were killed and others injured when an Israeli warplane bombed a house in the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City.

Five others were killed and several more injured in a separate air strike that hit a house on Hamid Street in western Gaza City.

In the al-Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City, a girl and another person were killed and several injured when Israeli forces bombed a home there.

In southern Gaza, Nasser Medical Complex medics confirmed the deaths of three people after an Israeli strike on a displacement tent in the al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis city.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces blew up several residential buildings in the Tuffah neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City.

The strikes came amid an apparent deadlock in a week of indirect talks in Qatar between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas for a ceasefire to halt the 21-month war.

Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a genocidal offensive on Gaza since October 7, 2023, killing more than 58,000 Palestinians so far, most of them women and children.

Almost the entire population of more than 2 million people in Gaza have been forcibly displaced at least once during the war, which has created dire humanitarian conditions in the Palestinian territory.

In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Liverpool players should ‘follow emotions’ to cope with Jota death – Slot

Liverpool boss Arne Slot says his players should be themselves and follow their emotions as they come to terms with the death of team-mate Diogo Jota.

Portugal forward Jota and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash on 3 July in the Spanish province of Zamora.

The Reds play their first pre-season friendly since Jota’s death at Preston North End at 15:00 BST on Sunday.

In his first interview since Jota’s death, Slot told Liverpool TV: “If we want to laugh, we laugh; if we want to cry, we’re going to cry.

“If they want to train they can train, if they don’t want to train they can not train. But be yourself, don’t think you have to be different than your emotions tell you.

“We will always carry him with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go.”

The funeral of the brothers took place in their hometown of Gondomar last Saturday when a large Liverpool delegation, including Slot, were in attendance.

Liverpool have retired Jota’s number 20 shirt across their men’s, women’s and academy teams in “honour and memory” of the former Wolves forward.

A number of tributes have been planned for the Preston game, including a pre-match rendition of Liverpool’s anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone and a minute’s silence, with both sets of players wearing black armbands.

“Nothing seems to be important if we think of what has happened,” said Slot. “But we are a football club and we need to train and we need to play again, if we want it or not.

“What I’ve said to the players, I can say it here as well. It’s very difficult to find the right words because we constantly debate what is appropriate. What is appropriate in our actions? What is appropriate [for] what we have to say? Can we train again? Can we laugh again? Can we be angry if there’s a wrong decision?

“And I’ve said to them, maybe the best thing for us to do is handle this situation like Jota was. And what I meant with that is that Jota was always himself, it didn’t matter if he was talking to me, to his team-mates, to the staff, he was always himself. So let us try to be ourselves as well.”

Jota scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for Liverpool, helping them win the FA Cup and League Cup in 2022 and the Premier League title last season.

He played his final match for Portugal as they beat Spain in the final of the Nations League on 8 June. He scored 14 goals in 49 internationals.

The Guardia Civil told BBC Sport that Jota and his brother died after their car, a Lamborghini, left the road due to a tyre blowout while overtaking another vehicle.

Katie Price reaches out to daughter Princess after being banned from birthday

Katie Price has recently opened up about not being invited to her eldest daughter’s 18th birthday party, as she said “certain people don’t think it’s good for Princess to be seen with me”

Katie Price has reached out to her daughter Princess after being banned from her 18th birthday party. The mum-of-five has taken to her Instagram story to share a sweet message with her eldest daughter.

She shared a quote calling Princess “the most beautiful girl ever” as she tagged her as well. The message read: “Name a girl that can wear no makeup, no fake lashes and still be the most beautiful girl ever.”

Princess has made it clear she doesn’t plan on undergoing cosmetic surgery, stating she’s been “put off for life” after seeing the impact on her mother. Katie said she would support Princess if she did opt to have tweakments in the future but said she wanted her to wait until she was at least 21. Katie was just 18 when she underwent her first boob job.

Katie posted the huge compliment to her teenage daughter despite apparent family tension lately. Kate wasn’t invite to Princess’ 18th birthday party, but it seems that she isn’t holding any hard feelings.

The former glamour model revealed that she was banned from the celebrations, but the decision wasn’t down to Princess. She talked about the situation on the most recent episode of her Katie Price Show podcast alongside her sister Sophie.

Katie wished Princess a happy birthday as she explained: “Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me.”

After discussing with Sophie, Katie then went on to speak about Princess’ new documentary which Katie is also not involved in. Katie said: “Everyone knows she’s doing this documentary – and I’m not in it. Certain people don’t think it’s good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.”

This is when Sophie hit back with why she thinks Katie isn’t allowed to be involved. Sophie said: “You aren’t on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that’s why.”

Katie then seemed to start to talk about Peter Andre and their old PR team who now manage her ex husband and their children Junior and Princess. She explained: “It’s pathetic. I’m her mother. It’s sad. It’s so sad. When certain people who used to look after me are now looking after…”

It’s thought that the reason Katie wasn’t invited is because the party was going to be filmed for Princess’ documentary. Katie hit back: “The fact is there’s stuff my daughter is doing and I’m not allowed to be seen at any of it.

“Certain people who are filming Princess’ documentary used to do my filming. It’s fine, it’s just there’s always conflict of interest. People will cotton on to this. So we do have to do something for Princess’ 18th.”

While Princess had her 18th party, Katie jetted off to Ibiza to enjoy the summer sun. She has been documenting her holiday on social media where she has been rubbing shoulders with other celebs.

Katie was spotted being pictured at Wayne Lineker’s Ocean Beach Club, where she was seen hanging out with the owner and fellow guest Conor McGregor.

Special meaning behind Kate Middleton’s Wimbledon bow

Kate Middleton was given a standing ovation as she returned to Centre Court for the Ladies’ Singles Wimbledon Final on Saturday.

The Princess of Wales’ emotional arrival into the Royal Box comes after she has scaled back her public appearances since revealing her cancer diagnosis last year.

Kate looked radiant as she made her entrance, dressed in a chic yellow dress with a pleated skirt and belted waist. Eagle-eyed fans will have noticed a stand-out bow accessory pinned to Kate’s dress. Prince William’s wife has been seen wearing the small dark green and purple bow attached below her shoulder at the sporting event in previous years.

But fans may not know the special reason for the fashion statement.

Kate is the patron of the AELTC, which conducts the day-to-day operations of The Championships and has been since 2016. The club made green and purple the official colours back in 1909. Kate first made the sartorial show of support in 2017 and has worn the same garment to the sporting event ever since.

The princess, who is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, attended the final of the Women’s competition where Iga Swiatek beat Amanda Asiminova 6-0, 6-0.

Other VIPs lucky enough to get a seat in the royal box included former long-distance runner Mo Farah and former US world tennis No1 Billie Jean King.

Kate later presented the trophy to Swiatek. She also had some kind words for Anisimova who burst into tears after the match.

Anisimova was the first women’s singles finalist not to win a game for more than a century, going back to 1911.

Revealing details of her conversation with Kate, she said after the trophy ceremony: “It was such an honour to meet her,” Anisimova said. “I wasn’t sure if she was going to come out today, if she was going be there, so it was just really nice to see her. She definitely had a few things to say that were making me emotional again! But she was really kind, and she told me to keep my head high.

“I don’t really want to reveal everything she said to me, but I also spoke to her again after the match, because I passed by her, and she had all the best to say to me. So I guess it was a positive of today, and I can try and focus on that and not the match.”

Kate returned to public duties on July 2 with a visit to a hospital’s well-being garden, where she spoke candidly about her cancer recovery. She said, “You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment, treatments done, then it’s like, “I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually the phase afterwards is really, really difficult.”
