Oasis issued stark Trump warning as US tour looms
The warning comes as the brothers set to embark on their leg of the tour over the pond. Oasis were issued a stern warning to keep their opinions on Donald Trump to a minimum during the US leg of their tour. A top entertainment manager gave his advice to the Gallagher brothers in order to prevent any political drama whilst the pair are in America. It comes after Liam previously branded the notoriously sensitive US President a "d***", while Noel has described his environmental policies as "pretty f***ing scary". Now, they're being advised to hold their tongues or face potential disruptions to their concerts. Top showbiz exec Jonathan Shalit remarked: "My advice to Oasis is simple: stay out of American politics. If they want their US tour to go ahead without disruption, it would be wise to keep quiet on all things Trump." This guidance follows an incident where a French scientist was barred from entering the US due to anti-Trump comments found on his phone. Immigration officials at an airport reportedly uncovered texts in where he had expressed criticism of Trump's administration back in March. Back in 2018, amidst the ongoing feud between the Oasis siblings, Liam even alleged that Noel was "worse than Donald Trump". Answering a query about who he considered the world's biggest villain, the Wonderwall star remarked: "Gotta be Noel. And he's worse than Donald Trump. He's the biggest liar and biggest faker in the business, so yeah, him." The band, fresh from their performance in Edinburgh, Scotland, over the weekend, will kick off their first US gig in Chicago on August 28, followed by shows in New Jersey and California. Meanwhile, a top tribute artist has claimed that the Gallaghers' cherished mother Peggy will "definitely" be in attendance at the Oasis gigs in Dublin, adding an extra layer of sentiment to the occasion. Gavin Fleming, who impersonates Liam in the Dublin-based tribute band Live Forever, mentioned she'll be present "looking out and seeing her two sons back talking together". He revealed: "I can confirm she's going to be at both [shows]. We have a little source there. She's going to be at the Dublin shows, looking out and seeing her two sons back talking together. It was a real family feud, so it's great to see. They're brothers again, most importantly." The iconic siblings, whose lineage traces back to Ireland, are set to perform at Dublin's Croke Park next weekend. Peggy had previously expressed her desire to attend but was recuperating from hip surgery. She also disclosed that she played a pivotal role as the "instigator" in mending their notorious discord and triggering the reunion.

Brooklyn Beckham's wedding vow renewal branded ‘a gratuitous display of obscene wealth' by family
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BROOKYLN Beckham's vow renewal with wife Nicola Peltz has been branded "a gratuitous display of obscene wealth" by his family. None of the Beckhams were invited to the lavish ceremony on August 2 — presided over by Nicola's billionaire dad Nelson — and only read about it on an American website.

One friend said: 'They would understand if it was, say, 10 years down the line - maybe even five. But three?! It seems like quite a gratuitous display of obscene wealth. "Also, if Brooklyn wanted to create a really cute memory, why couldn't he have just let his family know their plans first? 'To be honest, although there have been moments of rapprochement, this hostility dates back to 2021, around six months before the original wedding. "The dynamics have just never really gelled. 'Of course David and Victoria want Brooklyn to be happy and clearly he is wildly in love still, but a lot of people have been hurt. "It is a very sad situation and everyone fears there is no way back now. It is done.' It was also revealed that even Brooklyn's grandparents were excluded from the special day - despite their close relationship. Yesterday a source said: 'This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria. David and Victoria Beckham's agony as family feud explodes into WW3 and pals say 'Brooklyn has totally cut them off' 'Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially. "Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited. 'His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them. 'It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that. 'This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy - and see no way back. Honestly, they are now questioning why he even wants to keep the 'Beckham' surname - will he revert to Peltz? August 2nd 2025 - is this the day Brooklyn formally declared himself no longer a part of the Beckham family? 'It certainly feels like it.' In the photos shared by the couple on Instagram, they are surrounded by Nicola's family and friends. The actress looked stunning in a repurposed dress which her mum Claudia wore when she married tycoon Nelson in 1985. She also sported the same original £1.3million ring. Brooklyn's original wedding with Nicola took place on Nelson's estate in Palm Beach, Florida, with Brooklyn's sister Harper among the bridesmaids. This time the couple chose Nelson's Westchester estate in New York as the backdrop. Alongside the images, the couple wrote: 'only love.' They also posted a video of their very casual proposal on TikTok alongside a song by Ysabelle Cuevas with the words: 'Lost in your eyes.' Brooklyn, who wore a suit with no tie, called the ceremony a 'really beautiful experience' which was all about creating a 'really cute memory' they would treasure forever. There had been a lot of tension before the original wedding. The Beckhams claim Nicola was a 'bridezilla' and hard work, while the Peltzes say their in-laws are 'tight'. Nicola also revealed Victoria reneged on a pledge to design her dress, infuriating the former Spice Girl. There were also claims Victoria hijacked the first dance. Earlier this year Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from the ex-Man United star's 50th birthday celebrations. He also recently U-turned on the inspiration behind his Cloud-23 hot sauce company - insisting it was named after the day he proposed to his US actress wife. Last year he said it was a nod to the shirt number worn by his dad, who invested heavily in the company. 5 Brooklyn's grandparents Jackie and Anthony Adams were not invited Credit: Splash News
