Liam Gallagher, the brash frontman of the English band, hopped on the mic during a recent concert in the United Kingdom to assure fans they wouldn't get "Coldplayed" at the band's performances.
"Do we have any lovebirds in the house?" Gallagher, 52, asked the crowd at their show in Manchester. "Don't worry," he assured, as seen in social media video from July 20, "we ain't got any of that Coldplay" camera work.
Getting some laughs from the crowd, Gallagher said it "doesn't matter to us" who their fans are "mingling" or "tingling" with. It's "none of our" business, he added.

Kaitlin Butts fakes wardrobe malfunction to help with best friend's proposal
It turns out some wardrobe malfunctions come with a romantic ending. On July 20, country music singer Kaitlin Butts shared a video on TikTok of her inviting her longtime best friend and tour manager, Sophia Wells, onto the stage to help her fix a wardrobe malfunction. But the wardrobe malfunction was staged — and what happened next was worth the deception. As Wells was tying the back of Butts' corset, the singer reminisced on their close friendship. 'I'm kind of glad this is happening,' Butts said into the mic. 'We actually met here in Oklahoma City about 13 years ago. This is my college roommate from Oklahoma City, we went to college here.' The video was taken during her July 12 show at The Zoo Amphitheatre in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, per Concert Archives. 'Two years ago today, or this month I guess, this beautiful woman,' she said of Wells, who attempted to walk away before Butts brought her back on stage. 'This is a special moment for me,' she added. Butts went on to recall how Wells sent her a direct message two years ago telling her that her guitar player was 'really cute.' Wells then asked if Butts needed a background singer — which led to her becoming Butts' tour manager. 'I'm just honored to have her,' Butts continued into the mic. 'And I think she should turn around right now, too.' When Wells turned around, her now-fiancé, Adam Duran, was down on one knee with a ring in his hand. 'And that's the story of how my college roommate became my tour manager,' Butts wrote in a text overlay. 'And how my tour manager and my guitar player found love.' 'And it all started with a DM,' she added. Fans took to the comment section to share their excitement. 'And once again, I'm crying for strangers on the internet,' one fan wrote. 'The opposite of Coldplay Jumbotron vibes. Congrats to the happy couple!' another fan commented. 'She's so good at her job that now she's gonna be saving you on one less room during tours! congrats to the happy couple!!' a third fan joked. But while Wells and Duran were busy securing their love, Butts decided to keep her own love (and old love) just as close. On July 14, Butts took to Instagram to reveal that one of her ex-boyfriends was in the band that opened for her and another one of her exes was the program director for the venue she performed at. According to The Oklahoman, Butts is married to Cleto Cordero, the lead singer and guitarist of Flatland Cavalry — the band that she performed with on July 12. 'All my exes live in Oklahoma lol (no bad blood tho with these ones, thank gawd),' she wrote in the caption. Butts is a Tulsa native now based in Nashville, per the Grand Ole Opry. Her latest album 'Roadrunner' was released in June 2024. Butts will be performing shows across the country through Jan. 30 with her next show scheduled for Aug. 2 at the Surly Brewing Co. in Minneapolis, Minnesota, according to her website.

Workshop demonstrates the power of sound on the mind
'How many of you would go to the moon today?' The question was posed to an audience gathered at the OASIS Senior Center last week by Karen Skipper, a music therapist who was there to lead a brain-stimulating social engagement workshop hosted by Alzheimer's Orange County as part of its Connect2Culture program. About half of the 40 adults in the room raised their hands in response to her query. A few minutes later, Skipper asked the group to name a song with the word 'moon' in it. Soon the words to 'Fly Me to the Moon' appeared on a screen and attendees joined in a singalong of the jazz standard that became associated with the Apollo moon missions after Frank Sinatra recorded it in 1964. The space-themed class was an interactive experience that combined music and historical facts. As Skipper explained when the Music for the Mind session was getting underway, everyone was there to use 'every single part' of their brains. Attendees were posed trivia questions related to space, including which U.S. president started the space program (John F. Kennedy), the name of the first person to walk on the moon (Neil Armstrong) and who was the oldest person to go into space (90-year-old actor William Shatner), among others. The combination of trivia quizzes paired with music about stars, comets and planets continued for the next hour as Skipper strummed her guitar and encouraged attendees to sing along. 'Music is such a great inroad for people with memory impairment,' said Kim Bailey, program and education specialist with Alzheimer's Orange County, adding that dance and art also elicit responses in Alzheimer's patients, especially those in later stages who rely on non-verbal communication. Bailey said the class was comprised of OASIS clients as well as some seniors who are living with Alzheimer's. 'All seniors are interested in brain stimulation classes,' said Bailey. 'They are helpful for everyone, including those without Alzheimers.' Skipper illustrated the power of using music to help anyone memorize facts. 'It's very effective and just a functional use of music assigning a tune to what you need to remember.' She used the example of her husband putting words to a familiar tune to remind him of what he needs to take to work in the morning. 'He sings, 'I'm glasses, wallet, keys and phone,' based on 'There is a Tavern in the Town.' 'It's another source and anybody can do that,' Skipper said. 'It's one more chunk of input to keep that information in your brain.' She also noted how music is a tool when children in school are taught to sing the 'ABC Song' to learn the alphabet. Sitting in the front row for the session were Newport Beach residents Charles and Wanda Stansbury, who enthusiastically took part in the trivia quizzes and singalongs. 'I thought it was fantastic the way our minds were tuned into the songs,' said Charles Stansbury. 'It was amazing, very stimulating and lots of fun,' said Wanda Stansbury. 'It was also very interactive and I need to come back again [when it's offered] in September.' Newport Beach resident Rayleen Creath's thoughts about the workshop echoed the Stansburys' take on it. 'It was fabulous, beautiful and brought our souls alive,' Creath said. 'I was blown away how many people knew the answers [to the triva questions]. I liked that it was gentle and I would come back and do it again.'

Kesha says Cassie Ventura sent her flowers before concert
Kesha had an abundance of love and support this week. After performing her single 'Praying' at her Madison Square Garden concert on Wednesday, the singer appeared to be in tears, according to video shared on social media by People. 'Earlier tonight Cassie sent me flowers backstage,' she said, referencing the singer Cassie Ventura. Ventura's 2023 civil lawsuit against her former boyfriend Sean 'Diddy' Combs, which was quickly settled without Combs admitting wrongdoing, and a video of him physically assaulting her in 2016 preceded criminal charges against the music producer. Combs is currently awaiting sentencing after he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution folllowing an eight-week federal trial. He was acquitted of other charges, including sex trafficking. Amid the legal issues, Kesha changed a reference to Combs in her 2010 song 'Tik Tok.' She also showed support for Ventura, who was a witness in the Combs trial, describing her in a social media post as 'a beacon for every survivor.' Kesha was involved in a years-long legal dispute with music producer Dr. Luke, whose legal name is Lukasz Gottwald, following a 2014 lawsuit she filed against him as she sought to exit her recording contract in which she alleged he drugged, emotionally abused and sexually assaulted her. Gottwald denied those claims and filed a countersuit for defamation and breach of contract against Kesha. They resolved the dispute in 2023. 'All of this love is not only for me,' Kesha said Wednesday. 'It's for anyone who survived anything they shouldn't have had to survive.' CNN's Alli Rosenbloom contributed to this report
