Cast have halted their performance on the Oasis tour to share a moving tribute to the late Diogo Jota.
While on stage, Liverpudlian singer John Power dedicated their track Walkaway to the late Liverpool FC footballer, Diogo, who died on Thursday. He said “This is Walkaway. This one is for Diogo Jota. Take it easy brother. “
The footballer and his brother tragically died after a fatal car crash in Spain, just ten days after he married his wife, Rute Cardoso.
Diogo and his brother Andre spun off the road before their car caught fire. One of the tyres had blown out while overtaking another car on the A-52, around 70 miles west of Valladolid, causing it to veer off the road. The incident occurred at around 12. 40am. The blaze had spread to nearby vegetation which was eventually put out by firefighters, with the assistance from the Civil Guard.
Medical officials later confirmed the death of the two occupants of the car shortly after arriving on the scene.
Oasis announced last year that they would be giving things another go and reuniting as a band, much to the delight of many superfans

Oasis are officially back together and will be performing their first show of the highly anticipated reunion tonight. Noel and Liam Gallagher put their differences aside for the sake of their fans as they are due to perform in Cardiff tonight.
The reunion tour was announced last year which was met with thousands of fans trying to get their hands on a ticket. But the wait it now over as those who were lucky enough to get a ticket will see the brothers get back together for the first time since the band split in 2009.
However, many have been left wondering as to what they can really expect during the tour. Here’s everything you need to know about Oasis getting back together.

However, you may be able to purchase a ticket on resale on Twickets and Ticketmaster. The band shared a video to promote the comeback last year when Liam was heard saying: “When we both come together, you have greatness. “
Noel then says: “I know my brother better than anybody else. This is it, this is happening. “

Setlist
Due to Cardiff being the first show, fans are yet to find out what the official setlist is. However, it is pretty certain that some of Oasis’ biggest hits will be on the list.
You can expect to hear the likes Don’t Look Back in Anger, Live Forever, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. Despite nothing being confirmed, a rumoured setlist has been leaked online.
According to one fan, they have claimed they heard the full rehearsal setlist after staying for the duration of the playback. They said the tracks to be belted out by 74,500 in attendance will be as follows:
EXCLUSIVE: The Princess Andre 18th birthday saga, in which Katie Price claims she was banned from celebrating with her daughter, has left the former glamour model ‘really upset’, according to sources
Katie Price is said to be upset following Princess’ birthday
It’s been 16 years since Katie Price split from her first husband, Peter Andre, but it seems their feud is far from over. In fact, things appear to have escalated even further, and the former glamour model is said to have reached breaking point.
In a furious rant, Katie, 47, claimed she was “left out” of their daughter Princess’s 18th birthday party, which was hosted by Peter and his wife Emily. “The situation has really upset Katie,” says a source.
“There has been a build-up of tension recently and it all came to a head last week over Princess’s birthday. Katie was devastated and felt like she had basically been banned from attending. All the talk about their relationship angered and upset her, and she had a bit of a meltdown – because she is still so close to her kids.

“Falling out with her children would be her worst fear. They only have one mum and it is her. She adores them, sees them regularly and she’d never want to lose that. ”
Princess celebrated her milestone birthday at an intimate party with dad Peter, 52, and his wife, Emily MacDonagh, 35. Members of Pete’s management team, The Can Group, were also guests. But the top PR company found themselves on the receiving end of Katie’s anger after she alleged she wasn’t invited because they wouldn’t “allow” Princess – who they also represent – to be seen with her mother.

“Princess is now an adult, so, officially, Mummy and Princess can go out together,” Katie stated on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, before adding, pointedly, “If certain people would let her be seen with me.”
However, when contacted by New magazine, the management firm claimed: “We have never – and would never – stop Princess from seeing Katie. We would never intervene in any of our clients seeing their parents or not. ”
Another source claims: “Pete and Emily simply put on a three-hour party for Princess’ 18th, which is totally normal for any child of parents who have split. They organise things separately – Pete’s never been invited to anything Katie’s organised, and vice versa. Katie was in Dubai – she could have come back.
“It’s such a shame – this should have been about Princess. It’s an important birthday, she’s doing so well in her career and she should have been enjoying it, rather than worrying about all this. ”
While Katie may not have been involved in the Andres’ party, it was believed she and Princess would celebrate in their own way. “Maybe we’ll have a nice dinner together,” Princess told OK! magazine last month.
However, Katie – who, during her trip to Dubai, shared an image of writing on a beach which read, ‘My daughters will always be my Princesses’ – later suffered an embarrassing social media blunder when she posted a birthday message to Princess two days early.
“Happy 18th Birthday to the most amazing daughter. And my best friend @princess_andre. I love you so much,” she wrote on 27 June, before swiftly deleting it, later sharing a second message on 29 June – Princess’ actual birthday.
Following the faux pas, Katie fell foul of online trolls, with one saying she “can’t even remember her own daughter’s birthday”.
This, the source close to Katie claims, made her see red. “She doesn’t like being trolled or for people to think she’s a bad mum. She loves her kids. ”
Meanwhile, Katie spoke of her lack of involvement in Princess’ upcoming ITV reality show on the podcast, saying, “I’m not in it. Certain people don’t think it’s good for Princess to be seen with me,” claimed Katie, who also shares son Junior, 20, with Peter.
Katie’s sister and podcast co-host, Sophie, then chimed in, “You aren’t on brand, Kate. You’re too risky. ” Clearly riled, Katie continued, “It’s pathetic. I’m her mother… It’s so sad. ” Sophie then cut in, diplomatically “let’s save that for another day”.
Katie’s rant is the latest in a string of controversial comments about her ex-husband, who she fell for while appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004. At the time of her divorce from the singer, Katie admitted she didn’t want to split up, saying, “Pete is the love of my life. I am devastated and disappointed by his decision. ”
Last October, Katie branded Peter “jealous” as she discussed their divorce on The Louis Theroux Podcast. And when quizzed about how they communicate post-split, she simply said, “Don’t speak to him. ”
Both Princess and Junior have a strong bond with their pop star dad and spend most of their time at home with him, Emily, and their three children – Amelia, 11, Theo, eight, and one-year-old Arabella.
Katie said last year, “[Princess and Junior] know their dad is never written about in a bad way. They know I’m always written about in a bad way. ”

The source close to Katie adds, “She doesn’t like constantly being painted in a bad light. Pete feels as though he is the protector and because their relationship is strained it’s a tough balance to strike. It’s been a case of high emotions for Katie. ”
Liam and Noel Gallagher have reunited for an epic tour, with Oasis’ first gig in 16 years starting at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and they also have a very big team

Oasis have reportedly hired Justin Bieber’s bodyguard, Ian Norrington, and Madonna’s chef, Darren Staats, for their reunion tour – which starts today in Cardiff. Ian was the Peaches singer’s bodyguard during the height of his fruitful career as well as Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss.
The Muay Thai enthusiast will be looking after Liam and Noel Gallagher, and band members Paul Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker, during the long-awaited tour following their 16-year feud. “Oasis know the tour is going to be absolutely frenzied so there is no one better to look after them than Ian,” an insider claimed.

Liam and Noel will reportedly also be joined by Madonna’s former ‘clean-eating’ chef Darren, who ‘knows exactly what the band want on tour’, The Sun reported. The Mirror have reached out to Oasis for comment.
The Mirror recently reported that the main Oasis line up was as expected with Liam as the frontman and Noel on guitar alongside close pals and regulars Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, Gem Archer and Andy Bell.
The new drummer is Joey Waronker, who performed with Liam Gallagher and John Squire last year on a tour.

In the tour programme, there are a few more musicians playing with Oasis, including Christian Madden on keyboards, Jess Greenfield on backing vocals, Alastair White on trombone, Steve Hamilton on saxophone and Joe Auckland will be playing the trumpet.
The Mirror understands Jess will no longer be on stage with a source close to the group saying she was only listed in the earlier drafts of the programme and won’t be going on tour.
An insider said: “The band are not using backing singers anymore. Noel has worked loads with Jess in the past but after final rehearsals were done and the set list was drawn up it made more sense for Noel to do the backing vocals for Liam on the songs.

“It’s a shame for Jess but it’s likely there will be other opportunities for her with Noel in the future. They just didn’t need her in the end. “
Speaking on the Behind The Curtain podcast, Jess spoke about the reunion and said: “I found out pretty much when everyone else did. I’d heard rumours and then I heard for definite two days before through someone else. Yeah It was definitely a shock.
“I’d love to go. Hopefully Wembley cos it is Wembley. It’s amazing and the last time they performed those songs properly was in the Nineties when I was a teenager and I didn’t go to the gigs back in the day.
“So it will be nice to see it as an adult. I’m really looking forward to it. ”

For any southerners not quite up to date with Manchester slang, “mad fer it” meaning “mad for it” was a phrase Liam and Noel used to shout out in their earlier days to get the crowd going and make sure everyone was ready for a party. At one point Oasis fans were even given the nickname mad ferits.

But Google wasn’t done giving itself a Manchester accent with just one suggestion. Anybody searching for the group’s classic 1994 hit Rock ‘N’ Roll Star will be met with a ” Did you mean: rock n roll staaaaaaaaaar,” a reference to Liam’s iconic Mancunian whine that made his lyrics so iconic.

A buzz has already begun to build across the city with some fans queuing up outside the stadium more than 24 hours before they’re due to hit the stage in an effort to soak up the atmosphere and secure their spot when doors open.
Fans who decided to brave the elements and camp outside the Cardiff stadium ahead of the tour have now been given VIP tickets to the show.

ITV show Lorraine’s correspondent Nick Dixon revealed on the daytime show that some ticket holders had been waiting outside the Principality Stadium since yesterday in the hopes of getting to the front of the stage – and Oasis ‘ Noel and Liam Gallagher had noticed.
Lytham Festival has been cancelled due to “adverse weather conditions”. The organisers released a statement on Friday evening hours before it was due to start.
They said: “Due to adverse weather conditions, we unfortunately have had to make the decision to cancel this evening. The safety of our customers, staff and artists is our priority and increasing high winds mean it would not be safe to go ahead. “
“All customers will receive a full refund for tonight’s show. Please wait to hear from your ticket agent for further information,” they said.
On Friday, the likes of Alanis Morissette, Train, Liz Phair and more were due to perform. Fans fumed as they took to the festival’s socials to claim they didn’t find out about the cancellations until last minute.

One user said underneath the festival’s Facebook post: “Omg I’m literally soaking wet waiting for the flyer and then some kind random lady told me it was cancelled. No email or text from you… very poor comms! “
Another furious user commented: “Ridiculous announcement too late, we are in a world where we absolutely know what the weather conditions will be, clearly not prepared with the right equipment. Glastonbury continues if your swimming to the stage. Bloody joke. “
One questioned why it took them so long to post the news on social media. They said: “We were turned away 40mins ago. Shocking that it’s taken this long to officially announce it on social media and your app. “

“Terrible communication…. . And I’m sure the weather was just as bad 2 years ago! Ridiculous! ! ! ” one commented.
Another fan, who is attending tomorrow’s event, said: “We’re coming tomorrow. Please give us more notice than this because we have a good way to travel. Thank you. “
This year’s festival is supposed to host five nights of live music on Lytham Green on the banks of the Ribble Estuary. Over 100,000 people attend every summer, with the likes of Lionel Richie and Lewis Capaldi previously headlining.
Stevie Wonder kicked off this year’s festival on Thursday evening with a supporting performance from Corinne Bailey Rae.
On Saturday, Justin Timberlake, Jess Glynne, Dagny and CTRL are performing while Sunday will see XV, Simple Minds, Texas and more on stage.
