Liam and Noel Gallagher are loving playing in Heaton Park in Manchester but someone they would love to have alongside them is waiting for later tour dates
Peggy Gallagher is set to miss Oasis homecoming Manchester gigs at Heaton Park.
The 92-year-old mum of Noel and Liam Gallagher is thrilled her sons have patched up their differences and reunited the band. She has spoken about planning to see them on the Oasis Live 25 tour too and still lives in Manchester, where she brought up her three sons in Burnage.
But the Mirror understands Peggy will be forced to wait to see them later on the tour, in a box or with seating and easier access to get to and from the show due to issues with her health.
Heaton Park is a standing only venue with even the VIP area consisting of a viewing balcony area when guests like Pep Guardiola stand.
An Oasis source said: “Peggy is really keen to go and see Oasis again and couldn’t be more proud reading about the shows in Cardiff and Manchester. But her health comes first and Liam and Noel want her to be comfortable if she does come to see the band. She had a recent knee operation so needs a comfortable spot if she is going to go to one of the shows and be there for a few hours.
“They’ll both be spending time with her whilst they are in Manchester but they’ll hold off getting her to a show.
“Somewhere like Dublin or Wembley is a more likely venue where she can be treated like a queen with any food she wants and there is better access and transport options.”

Oasis have made a triumphant return to Manchester playing two shows at the weekend with a third gig tonight/last night(Weds) before two more shows at the weekend.
After that the band play Wembley as well as dates in Edinburgh and Croke Park in Dublin. The band will then embark on a world tour.
Ahead of their third Manchester show huge steel fences were erected around an area of Manchester’s Heaton Park to stop ticketless Oasis fans from watching.
Previously fans had gathered in an area dubbed ‘Gallagher Hill’ to watch the video screens and hear the music from afar.
But Manchester City Council has urged ticketless Oasis fans not to travel to Heaton Park, after crowds previously gathered to get a glimpse of the big screens on an area that has been dubbed “Gallagher Hill”.
The Council said: “With three concerts still to be played by Oasis in Manchester’s Heaton Park following their two hugely successful concerts at the weekend, the city council is repeating its request for fans without tickets not to travel to the park.
“After taking stock of how the first two nights went, additional measures have now been deemed necessary and will be in place for the next three concerts, to protect the environment of the park, ensure areas of parkland and nearby livestock are protected, and maintain public safety.
“These include the erection of steel fencing around a large area of the hill within the cattle field in the main park – which is currently being developed as a new woodland area for the park and has been recently planted with around 300 young whips including Hornbeam, Field Maple, Aspen, Downy birch, Rowan, Common Alder, Crab apple and more – as well as measures to protect the livestock in the field, which include expectant and nursing cows and a bull.
