Oasis fans invited to send personal stories for Oasis Live '25 Tour film

Yahooa day ago

Oasis fans are being invited to share their stories about "a particular song" that holds "deep meaning" to them for the Oasis Live '25 Tour film.
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is producing the reuniting Britpop legends' documentary, with renowned filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace on board to direct - the duo behind LCD Soundsystem's concert film Shut Up And Play The Hits.
Magna Studios - whose credits include Beastie Boys Story, Gangs Of London, 20000 Days On Earth, and Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now - are heading up the production and are asking fans to send in their special memories associated with the Live Forever hitmakers' songs for potential inclusion in the film.
A post on the oasis-film.com website read: "Now, in the year of Oasis' sell out reunion tour, Magna Studios and Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, A Thousand Blows) - in association with Oasis - are making a film exploring how this band's music has become so important to so many.
We are asking people all over the world if there is a particular Oasis song that has deep meaning for you. A song that tells the story of a life changing moment, a love, a loss, a heartbreak, or a break for freedom.
'Whatever the Oasis song, whatever the story – tell us…'
Oasis' UK and Ireland shows - their first in 16 years - will kick off in Cardiff on July 4 and see them joined by special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast.
The Supersonic band will also play USA, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil.
Meanwhile, frontman Liam Gallagher recently dismissed fan concerns over his vocal health ahead of the long-awaited reunion tour.
The 52-year-old frontman - who has Hashimoto's disease, which can cause a hoarse voice - sparked a frenzy online after posting about taking throat lozenges, sour candies and cough syrup, prompting speculation from fans that his voice might not hold up during his and older brother Noel's upcoming stadium comeback shows this summer.
One fan messaged him on X after his admission: '@liamgallagher If you need that many throat stuff does that mean anytime your voice can still go? We don't want cancellations.'
Liam replied: 'Shut up you melt.'
Another user asked the singer: '@liamgallagher Did you eat all your sour throat candies yesterday?' – to which Liam responded: '@adele_liam I did 2 pacs.'
The Oasis reunion marks the first time the band have performed together since 2009, when they split after a backstage altercation between the siblings at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events of the decade.
Rehearsals kicked off in London, with Liam joining his bandmates — including his brother Noel, 58 — for rehearsals this week.

Stephen Graham reveals the 'ultimate' goal of 'Adolescence'

Stephen Graham, who co-created, co-wrote and stars in the critically acclaimed Netflix series 'Adolescence,' hopes that the show sparks conversations at home. 'When me and Jack (co-creator, Jack Thorne) started talking about this and writing and creating it, we wanted there to be conversations between parents and children,' he told The Post exclusively at the Gotham Television Awards on Monday, June 2. 'That was our ultimate thing. 'We wanted to try and see if we could create that conversation that needs to happen.' 8 Stephen Graham as Eddie Miller in 'Adolescence.' Courtesy of Netflix It's safe to say that the creative duo fulfilled their wish. The show, which premiered in March, has reached nearly 150 million views worldwide. It centers around a 13-year-old boy named Jamie Miller (played by Owen Cooper) who is arrested after the murder of a girl in his school. The series takes a pointed look at the role social media has in shaping young male teens and their views of women. London's Lord Mayor, Sadiq Khan, recently praised the show for highlighting the 'epidemic of violence against women and girls' in the United Kingdom. The 'Peaky Blinders' alum, 51, doesn't lay all the blame on the internet and social media. 8 (L to R) Owen Cooper as Jamie Miller, Stephen Graham as Eddie Miller in 'Adolescence.'

Courtesy of Netflix 8 He used real-life crimes in Great Britain over the recent years as the inspiration behind the show. Courtesy of Netflix 'I think it's something that we all maybe need to take accountability for,' he opined. 'I mean, you know, from the schooling, parenting, social kind of environment that our kids grow up in, and now I think these big social media companies themselves have a responsibility.' Graham was quick to clarify that 'I'm not saying police it' but rather 'I'm just saying [they] have a responsibility to be mindful.' The show won big at the Gotham Awards, winning for Breakthrough Limited Series, Outstanding Lead Performance in a Limited Series and Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Limited Series. 8 'Adolescence' centers around a teen boy named Jamie Miller ( Owen Cooper) who is arrested after the murder of a girl in his school.

Courtesy of Netflix Graham recently opened up that while 'Adolescents' is fictional, he used real-life crimes in Great Britain over the recent years as the inspiration behind the show. 'I read an article in the newspaper, which was about a young boy who had stabbed a young girl to death. And … I was stunned by what I was reading,' he said in March, per NPR. 'And then, about three or four months later, there was a story on the news … about a young boy who had stabbed a young girl to death, and this incident was the opposite end to the country to the first incident that I'd read about,' Graham continued. 8 'Adolescence' is available to stream on Netflix.

You go through a lot of different things, physically, mentally, and even spiritually in the greater scheme of things,' the actor shared. 'My main question was why: Why is this happening?' Graham continued, 'There's a wonderful saying, which is, it takes a village to raise a child. And within that kind of complexity … it's kind of like, maybe we're all accountable. 'When a child closed the door back in the day when it was me and you, we didn't have access to the rest of the world [via the internet], and we couldn't be influenced dramatically by other people and their theories and their thought processes. So that was what we really wanted to look at.' 'Adolescence' is available to stream on Netflix.

Banijay Chief Marco Bassetti On Potential ITV Takeover: 'Scale Is Really Important'

Marco Bassetti, CEO of MasterChef and Peaky Blinders production empire Banijay Entertainment, has addressed speculation about the company's interest in acquiring ITV. The Financial Times reported in April that Banijay has held talks with ITV about a takeover. Deadline reported last month that the talks were still tentative and that the shape of any deal was unclear. More from Deadline Deadline's Sound & Screen To Make UK Debut At SXSW London With Star Composers, Abbey Road Tribute & Anne Dudley Honor London Mayor Threatens To Reopen Donald Trump Rift After Swiping At "Inward-Looking" U.S. On Opening Day Of SXSW London Banijay Appoints Factual Drama Chief During an appearance at SXSW London, Bassetti sowed some confusion by saying 'we're not buying ITV Studios.' Bassetti went on to talk about the benefits of scale in the current climate. If Banijay was to make an audacious bid for ITV, it would cement its status as one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. 'To put this in context, we are a niche business with many companies, so we always talk to each other about how to create more value. And sometimes rumors get out,' he said, adding that we are currently 'living in a world where consolidation is really important.' 'It wasn't like this a few years ago,' he said. 'Then, we were a little bit scared about scale. We didn't want to be seen as too big or powerful. But today, if you don't have a big distribution branch or have the money to invest in pilots, it is difficult to stay in the market.' Flanked by its banking advisors at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Robey Warshaw, ITV has reportedly been entertaining potential suitors since at least last November. RedBird IMI, run by former CNN chief Jeff Zucker, emerged as the frontrunner to a deal after the Abu Dhabi-backed investment fund acquired All3Media last year. Last month, citing sources with knowledge of the talks, we reported that RedBird IMI's interest has cooled significantly in recent weeks, though the situation remains fluid and could change again quickly. Sources told Deadline that RedBird IMI believes ITV Studios' valuation is too high. Bassetti's talk was moderated by Jordan Schwarzenberger, co-founder of Arcade Media, the management company of YouTube creators The Sidemen. On the topic of online creators and their convergence with traditional producers like Banijay, Bassetti spoke at length, telling the audience that to move forward, both producers and creators must increasingly work together. 'We must converge if we want to exploit the content created,' Bassetti said. 'We need to use as much as possible all the platforms the market has today. So like your next picture for you is Netflix. We are working to produce shows on YouTube.'

Father's Day Tech-Tastic Wish List

The Buff LED Face Mask Buff I'm going to be honest… none of what I write about below is anywhere close to what I'll actually get on Father's Day. My kids' school put on a Father's Day 'store' and my wife sends them in with $10 each, which usually (always) results in me getting socks and a coffee mug to unwrap on the big day. But this isn't a reality list. It's a wish list. The clue is in the name. However, even with that disclaimer thrown in, I still have to set a few boundaries. I couldn't just include a super yacht, a sports car or (the ultimate dream) Oasis reunion tickets. So this is a 'realistic' wish list. Sort of. Good luck to all the Dads out there. SHARP OSAKA DR-P520(GY) Portable Digital Radi Sharp Okay, this is a proper 'Dad' inclusion. Following the big power cut in Spain earlier this year, that wiped out not only electricity but the mobile networks too, one of the most common things that people said they found useful during the chaos was a battery-powered FM radio. Not only is this Sharp radio that, but it also has DAB+ smarts too, along with Bluetooth streaming and 10 hours of battery life; which you can charge with the same sort of power pack you'd use to charge your phone in such an emergency. It's available direct from Sharp, costing $60 Stateside, £60 in the UK. The Bodum Bistro smart coffee maker Bodum With its 24-hour programmable timer, this Bodum clever coffee machine will get your morning brew set to go exactly when you need it… and will keep your coffee warm for 25 minutes after brewing while you inevitably have to sort out some sort of breakfast emergency with the kids. It's also top-end filter coffee on offer, as it features a unique shower head design that evenly saturates your coffee grounds, meaning a more balanced extraction. The good news is you can also ditch those wasteful paper filters; this eco-conscious design features a fine-mesh, stainless steel filter. You can buy one now, direct from Bodum, for $110 / £139. Beats Powerbeats 2 Pro Apple Given that the latest Powerbeats are positioned as the ultimate workout partner, with real-time insights into your exercise performance and built-in heart rate monitoring, I should say I want them to help me get fitter. But they also feature Active Noise Cancelling, Adaptive EQ and Personalised Spatial Audio… so they'll be ideal for drowning out whatever (terrible) music the kids insist on playing on my home speakers. With a whopping 45 hours of battery life thanks to their smaller, wireless charging case, re-engineered earhooks, and powered by the Apple H2 chip, the Powerbeats Pro 2 build on the original's success and still look super cool; so I can keep up the pretence that I'm still young and trendy. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are $250 / £250. AirFly Pro 2 Twelve South And I want those Powerbeats to team up with this nifty gadget, which bridges the gap between your Bluetooth headphones and those pesky wired-only systems on planes or gym equipment. You simply have to plug the AirFly Pro 2 into any 3.5mm headphone jack, pair your wireless buds, and boom – instant audio freedom. The AirFly Pro 2 lets two sets of headphones connect at once, have over 25 hours of battery life, and have support for high-quality audio codecs. They cost $60 in the US, £61 in Blighty. Buff LED Face Mask Buff A bit of a left-field one this, but I've been secretly jealous of my wife's SharkNinja CryoGlow mask for a while now (and she doesn't share)… but now we have an LED mask that's targeted at men specifically, and promises to help smooth fine lines, soften wrinkles, and slow visible signs of ageing. Buff's LED Face Mask harnesses different light wavelengths to address a variety of skincare concerns. Blue light works to combat breakouts, red light encourages collagen production to improve skin texture, near-infrared light helps soothe inflammation, and yellow light supports a brighter, more even complexion. Given that I look like an extra from The Last of Us most mornings, I think I'll need the full spectrum. It's £180 direct from Buff.
