Proof Oasis will make it to Australia despite rift rumours during sold out reunion tour
As rift rumours continue to swirl around brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher during the Britpop icons' sold out world tour, many fans are wondering if the pair's notoriously prickly relationship can last the distance of a 41-date world tour.
In fact, after just four shows, many fans are questioning if the band can make it to their highly anticipated shows at Wembley Stadium later this month.
Reports that Noel and Liam would be kept apart as much as possible on tour, and Liam taking off solo after the band's first show in Cardiff have caused fans to wonder if the wheels will fall off before the tour wraps up in November.
Meanwhile, the pair's body language on-stage has been analysed by experts, who say Noel appears 'overwhelmed', whereas Liam remains the 'dominant' presence

Fans voiced their concerns on X, with many speculating the tour would not see its end due to the brothers' feelings towards one another.
Users took to the site to write: 'Please finish the tour without fighting... The tour will be lucky to finish all dates [mark my words].'
'They still hate each other... Bet they don't finish the tour... It's not Oasis though, it's the Liam and Noel show. I bet they don't finish the tour.'
However, if the completed shows are anything to go by, it seems Aussie fans will have little to worry about.
Claims that there is still friction between Liam and Noel appear to contradict the 'united front' the brothers have been projecting out on stage.
For example, the band's bravura set in Cardiff to kick off the tour earlier this month, saw Noel and Liam take to the stage, arm in arm, before delivering a set to delight even the most cynical Oasis fan.
Further, Rolling Stone Australia reported that it was a similar situation during the band's second of five hometown shows in Manchester.
The publication wrote that when it came time for Noel's 'leading segment' of the set, Liam let his brother have his moment in the sun.
They reported that Liam even gave his brother a friendly fist bump before blowing a kiss to the crowd and sauntering off stage to let Noel's star shine.
It seems the brothers are keen to keep the tour going as long as possible as a way to say 'thank you' to fans who have waited so long for a reunion.
The publication reported that Liam had some positive words for the crowd after playing their hit Champagne Supernova.
'Over the years, I know it's hard work and all that tackle, but we appreciate it,' he reportedly told the crowd.
'You're the best f***ing fans, man. You're mad as f***, but you're the f***ing best ones, man.'
With the love-fest showing no signs of abating, Aussie fans should be confident of seeing the Britpop legends in the flesh when they hit Australia for four shows later this year.
The Wonderwall fan favourites will play Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on October 31, November 1 and November 4 before moving to Sydney's Accor Stadium for shows on November 7 and November 8.
The band were last in the country back in 2005 on their Don't Believe The Truth tour.

Oprah Winfrey set for spectacular return to Australia after 15 years for five-date live national tour
Oprah Winfrey is set to return to Australia in November for the first time in 15 years, for a five-date national speaking tour. The US talk show titan, 71, is planning a series of major live appearances across the country, marking her first visit Down Under since 2010. The presenter will reportedly take part in five exclusive 'in conversation' events in what is shaping up to be one of the most high-profile speaking tours of the year. The tour will be produced by entertainment powerhouse TEG Dainty, believed to be managing the event's logistics. Oprah is also expected to enjoy a private holiday during her time in the country. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It was a cultural moment that saw her film four episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show at the Sydney Opera House, which was temporarily rebranded the 'Oprah House'. That tour brought 300 ecstatic American fans with her and featured headline-grabbing moments, including surprise giveaways, a $250,000 donation to a cancer patient, and Hugh Jackman's headline-making zip-line mishap during a live taping. The trip, which cost Australian taxpayers $5 million, drew criticism at the time — but Winfrey maintained it was a worthwhile investment in tourism. The episodes eventually aired in 145 countries, giving global exposure to local landmarks. Details of her upcoming visit were first reported by The Daily Telegraph, with insiders confirming that the media mogul's team have been quietly locking in venues across multiple cities. Oprah's 2010 appearance at the Sydney Opera House had been dramatic, with thousands of people lining nearby streets and filling the forecourt of the iconic harbourside building. Some fans had waited all night for a glimpse of the world's most famous talk show host. Australian actor Hugh Jackman was left with a bad cut under his eye after sliding down a cable from the top of the Sydney Opera House towards a giant outdoor stage where Oprah was recording the second of her Australian shows. After a brief pause, Jackman returned to the stage, sporting a plaster below his eye and a rapidly developing bruise. Fortunately, Jackman was well enough to give Oprah a lesson on eating Vegemite, the iconic Australian breakfast spread. He spread some onto a biscuit and offered it to the TV chat show queen. 'I like it,' declared Winfrey, before eating some more and washing it down with a glass of one of Australia's best and most expensive wines, the Penfolds Grange. In another of her surprise splashes of gifts, she gave a cheque worth over $100,000 to a Sydney couple after watching an emotional video in which the husband said he was battling cancer. She also gave everyone in the audience a silver necklace with an 'O' pendant. Winfrey took 300 audience members with her to Australia to commemorate her 25th and final season of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Oprah rose to fame as actor in Steven Spielberg's 1985 hit film The Color Purple. She later transitioned to television, launching a long and celebrated career as a talk show host.

Aussie influencer slammed for tone deaf post in Japan: 'It's giving racism'
Aussie influencer Sopha Dopha has been accused of cultural appropriation while on holiday in Japan. The TikTok star, whose real name is Sophia Begg and boasts 1.4million followers on the platform, made an embarrassing gaffe on Friday as she uploaded a carousel of pictures from her first day in Tokyo to Instagram. The 21-year-old uploaded her post with an audio from a song sung in the spoken language of Mandarin. 'Day one: Tokyo,' Sophia captioned the photo dump that shows her and two friends enjoying matcha, ramen, and posing for a photoshoot beside a vending machine. Sophia wore pink shorts, an oversized white T-shirt emblazoned with the Japanese word Suki (好き), meaning 'like', and a polka dot bandana. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Day one: Tokyo,' Sophia captioned the post, adding a string of emojis that included the Japanese flag and two sushi characters. Fans were quick to point out the irony of the TikToker making travel content about Japan and overlaying it with a Chinese song. 'Girl I love you, but please the song isn't even in Japanese,' the top comment on the post read. 'I fear this song is Chinese,' said another. Others were more pointed in their remarks. 'Looks good but it's giving racism,' one wrote, with another follower adding: 'The casual racism is sending me LMAO.' 'As an Asian woman, [I find] her using Japanese words as an aesthetic racist,' they added in another comment. 'She also seems to be unaware that the song she's using isn't Japanese, it's Mandarin.' The 21-year-old uploaded her post with an audio from a song sung in Mandarin 'Using Asian culture as an aesthetic is racism, period,' they continued. 'This honestly reflects white privilege on another level,' yet another disappointed follower commented. 'Being able to pick and choose parts of someone else's culture for aesthetic without needing to understand or respect it. 'Meanwhile, we as Asians grow up being shamed or mocked for these same things. It's not just a song or a vibe, it's a lived culture, and treating it like a trend is harmful.' Sophia and her friends travelled from Australia to Japan on Thursday. In less than 24 hours, she posted five TikToks about her travels, in addition to the controversial Instagram post. 'We are in Japan, Tokyo and we are going to get ramen,' she began in one video. 'I came here last year and it was one of the best meals I've ever had,' Sophia said. 'We're all starving. We haven't eaten since Maccas in the airport 12 hours ago.' Cultural appropriation is the adoption of an element or elements of culture or identity by members of another culture or identity in a manner perceived as inappropriate or without proper acknowledgement. Such a controversy typically arises when members of a dominant culture borrow from minority cultures. Sophia has not responded to the faux pas online.
