Liam Gallagher Pokes Fun at ‘Snidey' Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal During Manchester Show
Speaking from the stage during the band's final show of their six night stand at Manchester's Heaton Park (July 20), Gallagher made reference to the incident at a Coldplay show in San Francisco last week, which saw a pair of attendees embracing but sheepishly hiding from view when they appeared on stage's jumbotron.

The couple were later identified as colleagues at IT company Astronomer. The viral TikTok clip showed Andy Byron (CEO) with his arms around Kristin Cabot (chief human resources officer) at the event. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said from the stage. Byron has since resigned from his position at the company.
On Sunday, Gallagher was speaking before the band's performance of 'Slide Away' and asked the crowd 'do we have any love birds in the house?' He added, 'don't worry, we won't have none of that Coldplay snidey f–ing camera s–t here.'
'Doesn't matter to us who you're f–ing, mingling with, tingling with, fingering with… it's none of our f–ing business. This one's for the love birds anyway,' he said to laughs and cheers from the crowd.
Throughout Coldplay's Music of the Spheres global jaunt — the biggest rock tour of all time, according to Billboard — the group have used a segment where they film audience members and Martin sings an impromptu song to them. In June, Celine Dion was the subject of one song alongside other fans.
At Coldplay's following show in Madison, Wisconsin on Friday (July 19) Martin warned the crowd before starting the segment. 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,' he said. 'How we're gonna do that is we're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.' Flashing a grin, he added, 'So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now.'
It's not the first time that Gallagher has made a quip at Martin's expense, famously dubbing the frontman as looking like a 'geography teacher' and called the band a 'bunch of students.' In 2017 the pair performed together at the One Love concert in Manchester following the terror attack at the city's arena. 'I take back everything I've ever said about you,' Liam later said to Martin. 'You sound f–ing really good.'
Oasis are in the midst of their Live '25 reunion tour, with a run of shows set to kick off on Friday (July 25) at London's Wembley Stadium, before the U.K. leg concludes in Edinburgh, Scotland and then heads to Dublin, Ireland.

Alice Cooper and Motörhead pay tribute to 'cultural icon' Ozzy Osbourne
Alice Cooper and the stars of Motörhead have led tributes to the late Ozzy Osbourne. On Tuesday, a representative for the Osbourne family announced that the Black Sabbath frontman had passed away at the age of 76. Following the sad news, rock singer Cooper praised Ozzy's contribution to the music industry. "The whole world is mourning Ozzy tonight. Over his long career, he earned immense respect among his peers and from fans around the world as an unmatched showman and cultural icon," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "I always saw Ozzy as a cross between the prince of darkness, which is the persona his fans saw, and the court jester. That was the side that his family and friends saw. He was and will continue to be a rock n roll legend." In addition, a representative for Motörhead shared a black-and-white photo of Ozzy and band co-founder Lemmy Kilmister, who died at the age of 70 in 2015. "We lost our dear, dear friend today," they stated. "Ozzy was a pioneer, a guiding force for all in hard rock and heavy metal, and a great guy too. Lemmy and Ozzy were brothers in arms who enjoyed many adventures together over the decades, and his loss is seismic. Rest peacefully Ozzy, we will always love and celebrate you..." A number of other major rock groups honoured Ozzy's legacy too. A spokesperson for the Foo Fighters thanked the rocker for "a lifetime of inspiration", while Mötley Crüe praised the Paranoid hitmaker's dedication to making music. "RIP @OzzyOsbourne. Thank you for all that you did for music and for Mötley Crüe," they commented. "None of this would be same if it wasn't for you and you will be missed. Our thoughts are with the Osbourne family." Elsewhere, Pearl Jam's Mike McCready credited Ozzy as a major influence. "Thanks for the music, Ozzy, it makes our journey in life better," he wrote on Instagram. And in statement posted on X, a rep for Aerosmith insisted Ozzy "changed music forever". "From Black Sabbath to his solo work, Ozzy redefined what it meant to be heavy. He did it all with heart, grit, and that wild spirit only he could bring," they shared. "Our love goes out to Sharon, his family, his band, and the millions around the world who felt his fire. Rock on, Ozzy. You will be missed, but never forgotten!"

What is dirty soda and where can you try it?
Zhuzhed-up sodas are nothing new. As a college student, I had the deep pleasure of living above a drugstore with an old-school soda fountain, where I ordered Green Rivers, cherry phosphates, and vanilla Cokes while listening to farmers in from the fields jaw over 5 cent cups of Butter-Nut coffee. Places like this are a dying breed. Swig and its ilk are the modern version, so of course dirty sodas have gone viral. Get Winter Soup Club A six-week series featuring soup recipes and cozy vibes, plus side dishes and toppings, to get us all through the winter. Enter Email Sign Up It happened because, at the tail end of the year 2021, singer Olivia Rodrigo posted a photo of herself — black hat, black leather jacket, black nails, in the black night — holding a white cup splashed with a cherry red Swig logo. TikTok exploded. There are now countless reels of people explaining dirty soda, taste-testing dirty soda, and hacking their own dirty soda at home. Advertisement But it was inevitable. With the 2024 debut of Hulu's 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' a reality show for people so obsessed with drama they want to spend their free time watching someone else's, dirty sodas got an even bigger moment. In Advertisement Dirty sodas at Far Out Ice Cream in Brookline. From left: the Creamsicle (orange soda with condensed milk, vanilla, and cream topping), Shark Attack (lemon-lime soda with strawberry drizzle, blue raspberry, and cream), and Kookaberry Cola (cola with strawberry-raspberry-blueberry drizzle plus cream). Devra First In these parts, dirty sodas are hard to come by. They are slowly trickling our way. At But the truest dirty soda experience in these parts can be found in Clinton, where last year Lauren Nanof and her husband, Chris, opened 'I grew up in Clinton, I went to schools in Clinton, and I always had this idea of a little soda shop in our town, a place people could gather,' Nanof says. She was thinking of milkshakes and floats and the like. Then came dirty soda. She and Chris tried making their own. They loved it. She researched and realized there was nothing like it around. There's a Dairy Queen in town, and ice cream stand standouts like Rota Spring Farm and Kimball Farm in the area. Dirty soda was a niche, albeit a risk: Did enough people know what it was? Advertisement First they opened the candy shop. In designing The Fountain, Nanof made the most of her skills from her previous business, specializing in cabinet finishing and interior painting. The result is a candy-colored charmer, with striped walls, ice cream paraphernalia, neon signs, and a Barbie-pink payphone small children stare at with confusion. The soda and ice cream side of the business opened in October, coinciding nicely with 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' streaming fervor. There is also a mobile soda cart Nanof and crew bring to events. 'I knew it was going to be good to introduce people to dirty soda, but I never realized what a community aspect it would bring,' Nanof says. 'It's so many people's favorite place to come. We're on a bus stop, so we get flooded after school with people coming in to sit. Grandparents or parents bring kids. It's so nice to see people sit down and share a drink together.' The Fountain hosts all kinds of events, from music and movie Mondays with themed menus to community fund-raisers. When they post a drink on social media, everyone comes in and orders it. Advertisement Customers flock to The Fountain for dirty sodas, ice cream treats, and a social experience. David L Ryan/ Globe Staff I can see why. Dirty sodas aren't a gimmick. They are genuinely delightful. On a recent visit, I order a flight of four small sodas for $12.50, a merciful option for the indecisive and dirty soda curious alike. Some of the offerings are too sweet for my taste (fie on you, Cooler Than a Colada), but I would happily drink concoctions like The Founder (Dr. Pepper with vanilla syrup and coconut creamer) and the Creamy Cola Crush (Coke with sweet cream, raspberry puree, and fresh lime juice) any day. Maybe it's because I'm a whiskey/amaro person, but the brown soda options seem to work better than those with a Sprite/Fresca/Mountain Dew base. There are more than 40 dirty sodas on The Fountain's menu, not to mention all the floats, shakes, soft-serve, stackers (ice cream and toppings layered in a cup), and outliers like The Fountain looks as if it's always been here on High Street in Clinton. David L Ryan/ Globe Staff 'Our downtown, at one point previously to me being alive, was bustling,' says Nanof, who is also president of the chamber of commerce. Now Clinton is being Advertisement And so a soda trend born from Utah's Mormon culture 15 years ago helps contribute to the revitalization of an old Massachusetts mill town today. Talk about the butterfly effect. Or, as we call it now, the Internet. If it means delicious drinks for everyone everywhere, I'll take it. The Fountain, 138 High St., Clinton, 978-878-1615, .
