Noel Gallagher on reuniting with brother Liam, for Oasis' reunion tour after 16 years: ‘Great being in a band with him'
The popular Alt-rock outfit recently wrapped the England and Ireland leg of their comeback run, closing with a third sold-out night in Dublin on Sunday. They now head to North America for nine shows across the US, Canada and Mexico before returning to the UK for Wembley Stadium dates in September.
Speaking to TalkSport's Andy Goldstein, Noel said: 'Every night is the crowd's first night, do you know what I mean? So every night's got that same energy to it. But it's been truly amazing. I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really articulate it.'
He admitted to being caught off guard when the tour began in Cardiff last month. 'For me personally, I grossly underestimated what I was getting into. After about five minutes, I was like, alright, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again? I've done stadiums before and all that, but I don't mind telling you, my legs turned to jelly after about half-way through the second song.'
The shows also mark the Gallagher brothers' first time sharing the stage since their acrimonious 2009 split. Asked about embracing Liam at the end of that Cardiff concert, Noel said: 'It's great just to be back with Bonehead and Liam, and just be doing it again. I guess when it's all set and done, I'll sit and reflect on it, but it's great being back in a band with Liam. I'd forgotten how funny he was.'
On Liam's vocal form, he joked: 'It's AI.' But he quickly added: 'Liam's smashing it, I'm proud of him. Having been fronting a band for 16 years, I know how hard that is. I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it, it's not in my nature, but I've got to say, good for you, mate. It's been amazing.'
Looking ahead, Noel revealed he is particularly excited for their upcoming Buenos Aires date. 'The Argentinians are without doubt in the top five places for us to play in the world.'

Travis Kelce isn't the first: Swifties remind everyone Taylor's always shown off her boyfriends
(Getty Images) Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might feel like the internet's hottest romance right now, but let's clear one thing up, this isn't Taylor's first rodeo with PDA. The 'new era of public love' headline is everywhere, but the truth? Swift has always been loud and proud about her relationships, she just pressed pause during the Joe Alwyn years. Now, with the NFL spotlight amplifying every moment, people are mistaking her usual openness for something brand new. Taylor Swift has always shown love openly in past relationships From the very beginning, Taylor Swift has never exactly hidden her love life. Back in 2008, she and Joe Jonas were snapped out together before their infamous breakup went down in a phone call. Not long after, her short-lived thing with Taylor Lautner played out on movie sets and in paparazzi shots. By 2010, her romance with Jake Gyllenhaal was making headlines everywhere, latte runs in Brooklyn, cozy Thanksgiving strolls, and that scarf that's now immortalized in All Too Well. Then came 2012, when her Central Park date with Harry Styles basically shut down the internet. The photos of them holding hands, drinking hot chocolate, and riding the park's carousel became one of the most defining pop culture moments of the decade. Taylor's relationship with Calvin Harris wasn't private either. They walked red carpets, posted Instagram selfies, and looked like the picture-perfect couple for over a year. And of course, who could forget 2016's whirlwind with Tom Hiddleston ? That summer gave us beach kisses, paparazzi-packed vacations, and the infamous 'I <3 T.S.' tank top that instantly became a meme. The Joe Alwyn era was the real anomaly Even with Joe Alwyn, the one relationship often described as her 'most private' Taylor still gave fans glimpses. They were spotted kissing at award shows, sneaking around London, and traveling together. It wasn't hidden; it was just less flashy compared to her past loves. For six years, Taylor's love life with British actor Joe Alwyn looked completely different. No red carpets. No couple photos flooding Instagram. No public PDA. They were famously private, to the point where fans only knew little pieces from rare interviews or lyric clues. This created a false impression that Taylor had turned over a new leaf, suddenly deciding to keep her love life low-key. But history says otherwise. The Alwyn era was the outlier, not the blueprint. Once the relationship ended, Taylor slipped right back into her natural rhythm of sharing her happiness with the world. Why her relationship with Travis Kelce feels so much bigger So why does the Kelce romance feel like such a cultural explosion compared to her past? Two reasons: football and visibility. By dating an NFL superstar, Taylor's PDA is no longer just picked up by paparazzi or entertainment blogs, it's broadcast live on national television. Every kiss in a stadium suite, every smile caught by cameras, every viral celebration turns into must-watch content for two massive fandoms colliding: Swifties and football fans. It's not that Taylor is suddenly more public. It's that her audience has doubled, and the coverage is happening in real time on sports broadcasts, not just gossip mags. Travis Kelce didn't change Taylor Swift. He simply matched her energy. For most of her career, Taylor's been bold, affectionate, and unafraid to show love openly. After six quiet years, she's back to her natural mode, one that feels familiar to longtime fans, even if it's shocking to NFL viewers seeing it for the first time.

I've been curious about India: Passenger on tour
Passenger, the British singer-songwriter best known for his global hit Let Her Go, is looking forward to his debut performance in India, and he says this is 'something I've wanted to do for many years. ' 'I've always been curious about India,' he says, adding, 'I've heard so much of your music, though I wouldn't claim to know it deeply. It's a different world from the English and American folk traditions I grew up with. But that's the beauty of being an artiste; you keep your ears and mind open. It keeps you fresh.' In an interview with us, the global artiste opens up about staying true to himself as a musician, navigating trends, the importance of honouring his craft, and more. 'MY MUSIC IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LISTEN TO IT' In today's music industry, where viral trends dictate careers, Passenger remains unconcerned. 'I've never followed trends,' he admits. 'The music industry is fickle. It changes all the time. The only thing I can do is stay true to who I am, write songs I'm proud of, and put them out for people who want to listen. If it's fashionable, great. If not, that's okay too,' he adds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo 'I WANT PEOPLE LISTENING TO ME, TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE SITTING IN A FRIEND'S LIVING ROOM' His songs, intimate stories of love and loss, have always resonated with listeners. But how does one preserve intimacy in front of thousands? Passenger credits his stripped-back approach. 'It's just me and my guitar. I tell stories, I explain the songs. I want people to feel like they're sitting in a friend's living room, even if there are 3,000 others in that 'living room',' he shares. While love and heartbreak remain central themes, Passenger is not afraid of venturing further. 'Love and loss are part of the human condition, which is why people relate. But it's important to keep challenging yourself. I've just written a West End musical; that's been a whole new world for me,' he adds. 'I'VE LEARNED NOT TO FORCE CREATIVITY' With several albums under his belt, Passenger shrugs at the idea of writer's block. 'Sometimes I write three songs in a week. Sometimes none for three months. It's not clockwork. I've learned not to force it. Songs come when they're ready,' the musician tells us. As he prepares to perform for Indian audiences for the first time, Passenger brings with him the same humility and honesty that carried him from street corners to sold-out venues worldwide. 'At the heart of it,' he says, 'it's still just me and my guitar.' 'I WRITE MUSIC FROM A PLACE OF HONESTY' Before fame, Passenger was a busker for five years. Those years, he says, shaped him. 'It was humbling. I had great days and tough ones, playing to twenty people in a pub. That perspective stays with me. Every time I step on stage now, I remember those nights and how lucky I am,' he tells us. His biggest takeaway is authenticity. 'Any time I've tried to write a song because I thought it would be successful, it doesn't work. But when I write from an honest place, that's when people connect. You can't fake that,' he adds. The music industry is fickle. The only thing I can do is stay true to who I am, write songs I'm proud of, and put them out for people who want to listen Passenger BookMyShow Live is the producer and promoter for Passenger's upcoming India tour.
