Actor Orlando Bloom attended Oasis’ concert in Manchester over the weekend, appearing upbeat and carefree following his very recent split from Katy Perry
Orlando Bloom was all smiles at the Oasis concert in Manchester on Saturday, just weeks after confirming his split from longtime partner Katy Perry. The 48-year-old actor shared several videos on Instagram, singing and dancing enthusiastically to the iconic band’s biggest hits after their long-awaited reunion.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star attended the show from the VIP section alongside celebrity friends and family members of the performers, including Liam Gallagher’s sons, Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24. Bloom appeared to be in high spirits throughout the evening, showing no signs of stress following the recent breakup.
Before the show, the actor posted a video captioned: “Road to Oasis. Could not be more f’in excited.” In another clip, he added: “It’s gonna be karaoke all night,” as he smiled at the camera.
He later warned his Instagram followers about the content of his Stories: “If you don’t like @oasis swipe on – if you wanna see me run through some of my favourite karaoke numbers for laughs here you are lol.”
Bloom sang along to several iconic Oasis tracks, including Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger, and Champagne Supernova, as well as Live Forever, Take Me Away, and Half the World Away.
After the concert, he reflected on the experience: “My 16-year-old self who was at Knebworth just let it all hang out in Manchester, what a night.”
The actor’s public outing in Manchester comes shortly after he and Katy announced the end of their nine-year relationship.
The couple, who got engaged six years ago and share daughter Daisy Dove together, released a joint statement confirming the split.
“Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,” their representatives said in the statement. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is, and always will be, raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”
A source close to the couple previously said the breakup was amicable. “Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. Katy is, of course, upset but is relieved not to have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life,” the insider said.
Hints of emotional strain had surfaced on Bloom’s Instagram earlier this month. On July 2, he shared a quote from Carl Jung: “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.”
He also posted a Buddha quote days before: “Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most.”
The couple welcomed their daughter, Daisy, in 2020. Their shock split comes after Katy recently announced her departure from American Idol after seven seasons, reportedly to focus on new music.
