Liam Gallagher reacts after Green Day kicks fan off stage for playing Oasis song
Oasis star Liam Gallagher has responded after Green Day frontman kicked a young fan off stage after he played the British rockers' famous song Wonderwall.
Green Day performed in Luxembourg on Monday as part of their Savior Tour, and, per tradition, brought a fan onstage to play the guitar as they closed the show with their 1997 song Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).
Things turned sour after the concertgoer started strumming the chords to Oasis' 1995 track, Wonderwall.
In a clip shared to Instagram, Armstrong, 53, is seen trying to teach the fan how to play his song, saying through laughter, 'Are you f**king kidding me?' before singing 'You told me you could play this one!'
When the fan started playing Wonderwall instead, the frontman exclaimed, 'Oh, f**k me!'
In a second video posted to TikTok, Armstrong is seen shaking his head as he takes away the guitar.

The young attendee is then led off stage by security.
'Nice try. Nice try,' the band's founder said into the mic before he started playing the right chords to Good Riddance.
Gallagher replied to a clip online, tweeting: 'Best song of the night.'
Critics flocked to the comments section to weigh in on the mishap, with one social media user writing: 'Why do people keep taking once in a lifetime opportunities from real Green Day fans?'
A second chimed in: 'The crappy thing about this is he not only ruined his chance to play with an amazing band, but someone else lost out too. Such a shame.'
Other followers saw it through a more lighthearted lens.
'Idk I think it's kinda funny,' another person chimed in. 'It's like being able to claim you rickrolled Green Day live and onstage. I know Billie Joe thought it was funny.'

Days before, Green Day played a set at Germany's Hurricane Festival, where Armstrong chastised a fan for squirting him with a water gun.
The band was performing their 2004 tune, Jesus of Suburbia, when the singer stopped mid-song and gave the crowd the middle finger.
Armstrong then went upstage to confront the culprits.
'I'll beat your a**!' the Grammy winner allegedly shouted before picking up his guitar and getting right back into the song.
The most notorious Green Day incident happened in 1994 at Woodstock, when a mud fight broke out and fans stormed the stage.
A security guard mistook the band's bassist, Mike Dirnt, for a wild fan, tackled him, and knocked out his front teeth.
Despite the chaotic incidents, the group has continued to tour over the years.
In May, Armstrong, Dirnt, 53, and drummer Tré Cool, 52, were also honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The trio celebrated with great food and even better friends.
'I had a lot of things that tasted like Slurpees,' Dirnt told The Post at the time, while Cool chimed in: 'Mariachi!'
'Yeah, a mariachi band,' Armstrong said. 'We went to El Compadre yesterday, those guys are friends of ours. It was pretty nice.'

Armstrong, Dirnt, and Cool couldn't be more thankful for their star.
'Hollywood's literally been a second home to us since we started making big records with Rob Cavallo,' Dirnt gushed. 'Outside of the work and glitz and glamour, I think everybody can tell that Hollywood has a big heart too. As soon as something happens people always step up. You can see it with the fires, you can see it with a lot of different things. It's nice to get our hat tipped like that.'
Oasis, meanwhile, is reuniting for the first time in 16 years, after the band dramatically split up due to a feud between brothers and bandmates, Liam and Noel Gallagher.
Their last studio album Dig Out Your Soul was released in 2008, a year before the split.
In 2009, Liam, 52, contracted laryngitis, causing Oasis to cancel a gig at V Festival.
Days later, after Liam recovered from laryngitis, the band was supposed to perform at the Paris' Rock en Seine festival but never came on stage.

Two hours later, Noel, 58, released a statement on the band's website.
'It is with some sadness and great relief … I quit Oasis tonight,' he wrote. 'People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.'
Liam and the rest of Oasis continued under their new name, Beady Eye, and released two studio albums before splitting in 2014.
Years later, in 2011, Noel said that the gig that got cancelled due to Liam's laryngitis was actually cancelled because Liam had a hangover.
Liam ended up suing Noel, and demanded an apology. The musician stated at the time: 'The truth is I had laryngitis, which Noel was made fully aware of that morning, diagnosed by a doctor.'
Noel complied and issued an apology in which Liam dropped the lawsuit.
In August 2024, Oasis teased their reunion on Instagram, writing, 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.'
The Oasis Live '25 tour will kick off Friday and Saturday at Cardiff Principality Stadium in Wales. The band is slated for a 41-date run.

Don't look back in Anger: Fans rejoice as Oasis plays first show in 16 years
Bold, brash, and unapologetic, Noel and Liam Gallagher are back on stage for what some say is the most highly anticipated reunion tour of the century. The British brothers from Manchester are once again fronting Oasis, the band responsible for major hits 'Wonderwall' and Don't Look Back in Anger' and ranked among the best selling groups of all time. Their reunion comes sixteen years after Noel left the group, saying he could no longer work with his brother Liam. Now, with the hatchet seemingly buried, the pair are performing their first comeback show at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Forming in 1991, Oasis emerged as the face of a new cultural moment in the UK. The moment was marked by the election of Tony Blair, the rise of UK artists like Damien Hirst, and UK models Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell ruling the fashion runways. With an unpolished and at times insolent charisma, the Gallagher brothers captured the mood of a generation. Rolling Stone UK reporter Nick Reilly says their success was, in part, fueled by what they represented. "I think the 90s generally was a period of optimism. You kind of speak of Cool Britannia and the fact that Noel was so closely aligned to Tony Blair. And I think, you know, that there was a sense of optimism in the air and Oasis were a massive part of that. So I think that that optimism and that kind of joy that they offered in their music was part of it, but also the swagger, the kind of old rock and roll spirit like you mentioned the 60s. I think in many ways this was the first time we'd seen a band since perhaps like The Stones or The Who that had that sense of swagger in British music and that sense of like unrepentant rock and roll lifestyle." The band's story was always volatile, marked by repeated clashes between the brothers even before their split in 2009. The first public clash was in 1994, when a gig in Los Angeles turned ugly after Liam flung insults at the band and chucked a tambourine at his brother. In 1995, an interview with the brothers found its way onto a vinyl entitled Wibbling Rivalry, cementing the brothers explosive reputation in the public mind. Noel: Not at all. Not at all. Not at all. What I'm saying is, what I'm saying is you think..." Liam: "You get into situations..." Noel: " think it's rock'n'roll to get thrown off a ferry, and it's not." Liam: "I don't think it's rock'n' roll. Noel: You f** was your quote, you prick!" There were numerous public clashes between the brothers in the nineties and early 2000's. Then, in 2009, after a show in Paris ended in a backstage fight, the group announced their split. Nick Reilly says after so much animosity between them, many fans never thought a reunion was possible. "And there's so many people that are in their 40s and 50s now that will remember that as one of the key milestones of their early years. So now, if we're speaking 16 years after they split up and suddenly the fans are given a chance to relive that one more time and have this band back together, when many thought it would be impossible given how acrimonious that split was in 2009. It's natural that there will be like a clamour of those fans who will want to see them again. But also I think that there's a certain timelessness with Oasis." But even in 2011, Noel Gallagher told reporters he had regrets about how things went down that night in Paris. "I regret it really because we only had two gigs left. If I had my time again, I would've gone back and done the gigs. That gig would have been dreadful because he was out of his mind. I would have done that gig and done the next gig and we'd have all gone away and we could've probably discussed it, what we were going to do. We may never have split up, we may just have just taken a hiatus and we could have all gone and done our other thing. Liam always said he would bring down Armageddon in the end. That's the way he kind of likes things to be, you know." Over the next few years, the brothers both launched solo careers, but Liam was adamant he would never return to Oasis. Then in 2018, through a series of tweets, Liam changed his tune - finally raising the possibility of a reunion. He told reporters in 2019 that he was serious about the idea. "The most important thing is about me and him being brothers. I've got another brother who he doesn't speak to. It would be nice if all three of us would be together. Obviously, our mum is still alive, so she gets upset by it. But he thinks I'm desperate to get the band back together for money. But I didn't join the band to make money. I joined the band to have fun and get off my head and go and see the world. I'd do it for nothing if everyone else is doing it for nothing." When Oasis officially announced a reunion tour in August last year many were in disbelief. Luke Mounteney was around nine years old when the band split, he says he was certain he'd never get this chance. ''No, I thought. No, I don't think anyone of us really truly thought it would ever happen. I'd sort of committed that my life, I would never get to see Oasis because I haven't seen before. So when it came about that it was a real thing, I don't think my heart rate dropped for a good while until I got tickets. And I remember I sat just crying with pure, genuine joy that I'd got a ticket and it was just an unbelievable moment for life, yeah.'' While fans had been pleading for the group to reunite for years, website issues and controversial dynamic pricing brought outrage, with many failing to secure a spot. While tickets were initially shown at one price, around $300, once fans reached the front of the digital queue, many found that basic tickets were rebranded as 'in demand' and double the price. For some fans though, no price was too high. ''Kind of what I expected it to be honest you know, it's their reunion they haven't been together for literally decades at this point. So I'd be willing to pay anything to, you know, see the reunion, especially first night as well. It's incredible.'' Following Cardiff, Oasis will tour the UK throughout July, August and September. The group will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. For 48-year-old Matt Hobman, this tour is not just about the music. ' 'They're more than a band aren't they? It's almost like a movement, isn't it? It's like, you know, it's like a piece of Britishness, I suppose, in terms of, yeah Oasis being the band that they are.''

Victoria Beckham celebrates her 26th wedding anniversary
Victoria Beckham feels "so proud" of the life she's built with Sir David Beckham. The 51-year-old fashion designer has taken to social media to celebrate the couple's 26th wedding anniversary, and to express her love for the retired soccer star and their four children. Alongside a throwback photo of the loved-up couple sharing a kiss, Victoria - who has Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, with David - wrote on X: "Another year, another chapter in our love story. [heart emoji] I'm so proud of the beautiful family and life we've built together. You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much #DavidBeckham xx Here's to 26 years!! xx (sic)" The celebrity duo tied the knot at Luttrellstown Castle in the Republic of Ireland on July 4, 1999. And David has also taken to social media to celebrate their latest wedding anniversary, thanking the singer-turned-designer for giving him four "beautiful children". Alongside some photos from their wedding day, David wrote: "26 years today you said YES to me. "Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together. I love you Lady Beckham. (sic)" David also tagged the couple's three sons in his post, and added a mention for their daughter Harper, who does not have her own Instagram page. The couple celebrated their anniversary shortly after David was knighted by King Charles for his services to sport and charity. The 50-year-old sports star - who captained the England national team during his playing career - admitted to feeling "incredibly humbled" by the accolade. David - who also played for the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid, before retiring in 2013 - said in a statement at the time: "Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. "To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career, and literally a boyhood dream come true."
