As they gear up to reunite this summer with Stereophonics’ Kelly Jones, Liam and Noel Gallagher have put their differences aside.

Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones has revealed exactly what it was like touring with the Gallagher brothers at the height of their Oasis fame and teased they’re back in the studio. Waring siblings Liam and Noel Gallagher have finally put their differences aside to reunite for a string of dates this summer.

The duo will share the stage together for the first time since 2009 in just a matter of weeks. Fans are eagerly awaiting what to expect from the sold-out world tour that kicks off in Cardiff in July, with speculation mounting as Noel has been spotted in the studio. The Britpop icons have remained silent on whether fans can expect new music, as Kelly has now weighed in. Sharing his thoughts on the record-breaking reunion, he said: “It’s good that they got back together. It’s taken a long time.

The band aside, the magnitude of those performances and the volume of people who want to attend performances, according to the band, is amazing. “To have that second bite of the cherry after everything that’s gone on is pretty amazing.

Kelly has even toured with Oasis as his band Stereophonics headed to Japan at the same time with the 90s stars. Summing up the wild experience, Kelly told NME: “Pretty messy but good fun.”

Following the release of Stereophonics’ third album Just Enough Education To Perform, he acknowledged Noel “fell in love with him.”

I recently discovered some old photos of me and Noel rehearsing in Windsor just before we toured America, Kelly continued.

When I asked him what he was up to, he said he had been writing a little in the studio and that we were having a laugh about it.

Kelly, who weighed out on the release of new music for Oasis, said: “I’m assuming he’s writing for either his stuff or if [Oasis] will release a few songs, I don’t know.”

Liam and Noel have secretly been reuniting in recent weeks as they were pictured together for the first time in years during preparations for the tour.

The two brothers were spotted arriving at a working men’s club in Newington Green, London, last week. It is understood Noel and Liam were shooting promo material for Adidas for a new collaboration between them and the sports brand.

Speaking on X, Liam told fans reuniting with his big brother for the shoot had been a “biblical” experience. He posted: “It was more a video kind of thing like a mini film and word on the street it was BIBLICAL. I just get in and out I don’t hang around looking at the screen I’ll see it when you cats see it”

He also made fun of Oasis fans by saying, “The stage is my safe space; it’s where I get a little peace and quiet,” and that he was desperate to return to playing live shows once more.

The eagerly awaited Oasis reunion will take place next month, according to The Mirror’s earlier information, and band rehearsals will begin in May.

Noel has been back in the studio on his own rehearsing songs and working on new material in London. They added: “Noel is often in and out of the studio working on things, he is a singer songwriter so it’s only natural.

However, Liam is a singer and will be overdoing rehearsals because he has a long list of dates booked for this year with Oasis. His voice needs rest most at the moment after a big solo performance on Definitely Maybe tour your last year. Recently, he has been relaxing and spending time with his mother, Peggy.

The band will begin reuniting in May, according to the plan. Liam will be the last to join in the vocal work and will jam out and create a set list. There is plenty of time left, and since he was born rock and roll, Liam has lived and breathed these songs and performed many of them solo, so there is no need for much practice. However, due to the addition of a new drummer in the mix, the rest of the band needs to rehearse more.

Gary Barlow wore the team’s scarf to celebrate Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory on Monday night during his solo Songbook Tour of the city.

Gary Barlow kicked off the English leg of his Songbook Tour with a bang in Liverpool on Monday night as he celebrated Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory over the weekend. The Cheshire-born singer took to the city’s Empire Theatre on Monday night to perform hits from his three-decade long career, and couldn’t help but celebrate the sporting win from his boyhood club.

From historic Take That hits such as Rule The World and Patience to his own newer tracks, including Let Me Go and 6th Avenue, Gary took the audience on a “trip through the decades”, as he called it. And with the show complete with plenty of ‘I love you Gary’ screams from the eager crowd, the 54-year-old couldn’t resist but sing 1995 track Never Forget as an encore. And for the last song, he swapped a sparkling red suit jacket for a Liverpool F.C scarf and paraded around the stage.

Despite earlier promising not to talk sports during the performance, Gary beamed and proudly displayed the scarf to the audience while red and white confetti fell onto the crowd.

The show comes after Gary kicked off the tour in the Isle Of Man, with the singer set to make his way around England and Scotland until wrapping up in Norfolk on June 21st.

And Gary believes that his coincidentally-timed show may have been a good luck charm following Liverpool’s victory over Tottenham this weekend.

“We book these tours 15 months in advance or something so there’s no way we could have known something like this could happen. But when we played Nafield in 2019, Liverpool had just won the Champions League. So it seems like every time I book a gig in Liverpool, we do really well!” Gary said before the gig.

It’s a pleasure to be here right now because Liverpool is a football town and the fans are from their own country.

Gary may have to keep booking his shows in accordance with the football games, but his Take That bandmates might accompany him when he’s in the city when he reveals they’re working on a new album.

“The songwriting process has already begun.” We keep going! Gary, who claims that new music is on the horizon, “admits him.

The songwriting process takes some time, and the recording process takes a while once the songs are complete. I anticipate hearing some fresh music in the first half of the year. You never know what we might have this year.

Meghan Markle, better known as the Duchess of Sussex, has recently been the subject of new controversy following the revelation that she used HRH on a friend’s gift card and a hamper.

Meghan Markle has been embroiled in controversy this week after using the HRH title in a gift basket that she once sent to a friend. It comes after her and Prince Harry had agreed not to use the title when they stepped back from royal duties.

Meghan, 43, and Prince Harry, 40, announced that they would be stepping back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family in January 2020. Just days later, some of the family attended the so-called Sandringham Summit, which is said to have involved discussions about the future. It was later announced that the couple would retain their Her Royal Highness and His Royal Highness – abbreviated to HRH – titles respectively. However, it was stated that an agreement meant that they would not “actively” use them.

The couple stated at the time that they would “retain” their HRH titles in a statement posted on their website. However, as a result of the change in their roles, Prince Harry and Meghan decided to stop using such titles.

Their statement read: “As agreed and set out in January, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will retain their ‘HRH’ prefix, thereby formally remaining known as His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex and Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will no longer actively use their HRH titles as they will no longer be working members of the family as of Spring 2020.”

A statement from Buckingham Palace at the time read similarly: “The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family. […] This new model will take effect in the Spring of 2020.”

However, this week’s news that Meghan used HRH on a note that was given to podcast host Jamie Kern Lima has sparked controversy. With the appreciation of HRH The Duchess of Sussex, the note reads: “With the compliments.”

Meghan was a guest on an episode of her podcast, the Jamie Kern Lima Show, where her pal Jamie shared a photo of the hamper and the note. In the episode that was made public yesterday, she also addressed the gift.

Ice cream and homemade jam sauce were included in Meghan’s hamper, according to Jamie. She claimed that she had received the hamper at a difficult time to “see if that helps lighten]her load.”

An insider has revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan retained their HRH titles but do not use them for commercial purposes and don’t use the publicly. “While they do not publicly use ‘HRH’, this was a personal gift and their titles remain,” they added.

It’s been reported that it was sent to Jamie over a year ago. In a teaser for the podcast, in which Meghan discusses her new As Ever brand, Jamie states: “I have had your jam in my refrigerator all year.” And a source suggested to the Daily Mail recently that the photo shared by Jamie was taken before Meghan launched As Ever last month.

Earlier today, The Mirror reported that the Duchess of Sussex’s use of a royal monogram to send her new lifestyle brand to social media influencers goes against the late Queen’s wishes, according to insiders.
