Famous rock singer responds to viral video of fan Shazaming song at concert
Richard Ashcroft, formerly of The Verve, was performing 'Bittersweet Symphony' at Oasis' show at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on Friday, July 4 when a fan pulled out the Shazam app. The app identifies the name of a song and artist by recording a short clip of the track.
'Imagine not knowing the greatest song of all time,' the caption on the now-viral TikTok reads.
The video has accumulated more than 5 million views since it was posted on Friday. Apparently, Ashcroft was among those millions of viewers because he seemingly responded to the viral moment in an Instagram post on Sunday.
'Thanks to everyone who came down and gave such beautiful support for my set,' the singer wrote. 'If you don't know it Shazam it, all new fans welcome! Love to LG for Cast No Shadow, what a tune! We move on Manchester. Are you ready? Music is Power.'
Fans recognized that Ashcroft was referring to the viral incident by leaving comments on the singer's post.
'Still can't believe someone had to Shazam Bittersweet Symphony,' one Instagram user commented.
'Richard Ashcroft saw the video of the girl trying to identify one of the most recognizable songs on the planet — and didn't shame her for it. What a king,' another comment reads.
Another Instagram user chimed in by saying, 'Gaining new fans keeps the music playing for generations to come.'
Ashcroft is supporting Oasis on the legendary band's reunion tour, which their first time back together in 15 years. Oasis originally announced a string of European shows before adding North American tour dates.

The Traitors Announces All-Civilian Version to Air on NBC — Apply Now!
The Traitors fans, now's your chance to do a little backstabbing of your own. NBC will air an all-civilian version of the hit reality competition, TVLine has learned. Typically, The Traitors — which airs on streamer Peacock — features celebrities competing for the cash prize, but this time, ordinary fans will play the game, with Alan Cumming returning as host. (Other international versions of The Traitors, including the UK and Australia, feature everyday people as contestants.) More from TVLine Casting News: St. Denis Medical Pages Ariana Madix, Boyd Holbrook Joins Extraction and More Exiting Chicago Fire Star Daniel Kyri Says Emotional Goodbye to His Character Darren Ritter: 'You Made History' Jon Miyahara, Superstore's Silent Scene Stealer, Dead at 83 Filming on the NBC version will get underway next year; those interested in applying to be a contestant can do so at 'We are looking for smart, strategic everyday people to compete in the ultimate game of trust & treachery,' the website says, with a chance to win up to $250,000. 'We're excited to bring along The Traitors' highly addictive fan base as we discover the next generation of legendary gamers and schemers,' NBCUniversal Entertainment executive vice president of unscripted programming Sharon Vuong said in a statement. 'With our resident host and gameplay master of ceremonies, Alan Cumming, on board to introduce complete strangers to new epic missions and twisted gameplay, this new version for NBC offers a unique opportunity for the cast and audience to meet each other for the first time and we know it will be incredible to watch.' For those uninitiated, The Traitors brings its players to a remote Scottish castle, where a small number of them are secretly designated 'traitors,' tasked with 'murdering,' or eliminating from the game, one of their fellow players each night. But the other players, dubbed the 'faithful,' can get rid of the traitors by voting out one of their own each night at the round table. At the end of the game, if the faithful get rid of all the traitors, they split the cash prize — but if even one traitor remains, they take home all the money. Debuting in the Netherlands in 2021, The Traitors has spawned more than 30 (!) international editions, with the U.S. version bowing on Peacock in 2023. The first season mixed reality TV celebrities like Survivor alum Cirie Fields with everyday people, but the subsequent two seasons have been all celebrities. The show has become a runaway hit for Peacock, winning the Emmy last year for best reality competition. Season 4 of The Traitors is expected to air on Peacock early next year — with a cast including former Real Housewife Lisa Rinna, actor Michael Rapaport and football mom Donna Kelce — and the show has already been renewed for a fifth season.

Jessica Simpson announces one-night-only Las Vegas concert: How to get tickets
Jessica Simpson is sharing one night only with you at an upcoming Las Vegas concert. The "With You" hitmaker will perform at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino for a special concert on Nov. 8. The performance marks the next chapter in Simpson's musical comeback. After a highly publicized January split from estranged husband Eric Johnson, Simpson returned with her first music in 15 years. She released her soulful EP "Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1" (featuring "Blame Me") in March, promoting the new tracks on the "Today" show. She is set to release a follow-up titled "Nashville Canyon, Pt. 2" on Sept. 4. Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson split after 10 years of marriage "A lot of people are like, 'I didn't really listen to your music in the past, but I respected you as a singer, and I feel like this is the most you you've ever been,'" Simpson told Rolling Stone in March. "To me, that is success." The outlet revealed that she moved part-time to Nashville to produce her newest work, a retreat from Los Angeles. Since her 1999 album "Sweet Kisses," Simpson famously recorded a cover of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" for the 2005 film "The Dukes of Hazzard." She also released six other studio albums and has boasted nine songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2021, she released a No. 1 New York Times bestselling memoir "Open Book." The ex-"Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" star left singing behind in 2010 to focus on motherhood and helm her popular clothing brand The Jessica Simpson Collection, which later became a billion-dollar fashion empire. The "I Wanna Love You Forever" singer became a mom to three kids with Johnson, who she tied the knot with in 2014: eldest daughter Maxwell Drew, son Ace Knute, and youngest daughter Birdie Mae.
