With the Oasis tour underway, the Gallagher brothers are expected to make bank — but one of them is doing something incredible with his earnings from their highly-anticipated gigs
The Oasis reunion tour is currently in full swing, with siblings Noel and Liam Gallagher continuing their musical comeback after a 16-year hiatus. Following their successful Cardiff performance last weekend, the brothers are set to delight fans at Heaton Park in Manchester this weekend before moving on to London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
Their highly-anticipated shows in the UK will then be followed by live performances across the world, including in North and South America, Asia and Australia. While Noel and Liam are expected to earn big from their Oasis Live 25 tour, a source has revealed that Noel will be putting a chunk of his earnings toward a greater cause, reports Birmingham Live.
The Mancunian musician will be making a generous donation — to the tune of thousands of pounds — to the Teenage Cancer Trust, an organisation extremely close to his heart. According to the charity’s website, it supports “specialised nurses, youth workers and hospital units in the NHS, so young people have dedicated staff and facilities to support them throughout treatment”.
The source revealed: “It’s no secret that Noel and Liam are both making millions from the reunion tour. But Noel is actually giving some of his cash away.
“He’s made it clear a large donation will be heading to Teenage Cancer Trust from his share of the proceeds.”
As for attendees of tonight’s Heaton Park concert, fans may be in for a scorcher, with sweltering hot weather expected this evening.
Forecasts from the Met Office warn of ‘high temperatures’ in many areas this Friday, as the heatwave continues to make its way across the UK.
They warned: “By Friday, the heat becomes more extensive. Temperature anomalies show a significant rise above average across much of the UK, with particularly intense heat in parts of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, the West Midlands, and the southwest.
“Even parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland will see temperatures well above average. There may be some low cloud to start the day, especially around the Irish Sea and eastern coastal areas, but this should burn back quickly.
“By the afternoon, most places will see clear skies and strong sunshine, with highs reaching 31-32°C in some central and southern areas.”
In other news, the Gallagher brothers have enlisted security to safeguard their mother’s residence as Oasis enthusiasts descend on Manchester. With the siblings poised for a homecoming this weekend, they’re ramping up precautions to ensure the wellbeing of their family.

As devotees swarm to Manchester in anticipation of their Heaton Park performances, they’ve inevitably been making a detour to the band’s formative home, where Noel and Liam’s mum Peggy still resides.
Enthusiasts have been sighted on the street and snapping pictures outside the residence in their quest to experience a slice of Oasis heritage. However, to shield their mum Peggy, Noel and Liam have engaged security personnel to monitor her and her abode.
In fresh images, a guard was observed standing and patrolling outside the Gallagher siblings’ childhood home, as fans congregated to take selfies and photos outside the property deemed a part of Britpop history.
