‘Keep quiet on all things Trump': Gallagher brothers warned before Oasis US tour

Oasis front-men Liam and Noel Gallagher are being advised to put a sock in it, at least when it comes to Donald Trump,if they want their US comeback tour to run smoothly - since the US President has a recurring streak of not being 'mad fer it' when it comes to criticism. The famously outspoken Gallagher brothers have been warned to keep quiet about American politics as they gear up to start the US leg of their reunion tour later this month.(instagram/@oasis) The famously outspoken brothers have both taken swipes at the US President in the past, with Liam once calling him a 'd***' and Noel describing his environmental policies as 'pretty f***ing scary.' But with American gigs on the horizon, industry insiders are warning them to keep their opinions to themselves. 'Stay out of American politics' Top showbiz manager Jonathan Shalit didn't mince his words, saying: 'My advice to Oasis is simple: stay out of American politics. If they want their US tour to go ahead without disruption, it would be wise to keep quiet on all things Trump.' The caution comes after a French scientist was denied entry to the US earlier this year when border officials found anti-Trump comments on his phone - proof, some say, that the president and his allies don't take criticism lightly. Back in 2018, when the Oasis feud was still raging, Liam even declared Noel 'worse than Donald Trump,' branding his brother the 'biggest liar and biggest faker in the business.' Family reunion in Dublin Fresh from a weekend gig in Edinburgh, the Britpop legends are set to kick off their US run in Chicago on August 28, followed by stops in New Jersey and California. But before they jet across the pond, the Gallaghers will play a special set at Dublin's Croke Park - with a very important guest in the audience. Peggy Gallagher, the brothers' beloved mum, is 'definitely' planning to attend, according to Gavin Fleming, frontman of Oasis tribute band Live Forever. 'She's going to be at both [Dublin] shows, looking out and seeing her two sons back talking together,' he said. Peggy has long been credited with brokering peace between her famously combative sons - a reunion that could be just as historic for Oasis fans as any tour date.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr Nearing €35m Deal For Bayern Munich Star: Reports

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr near signing Bayern's Kingsley Coman for €35m. Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr are closing in on a massive €35m deal to sign Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, according to several reports. The team are looking to wrap up a deal for the latter as the beginning of the 2025-26 season approaches and it looks to rebuild a strong side. Journalist Florian Plettenburg has reported that Bayern are now open to selling Coman to Al Nassr this summer as negotiations have reached an advanced stage. Al Nassr have sought to strengthen their team this summer after the arrival of Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus as a replacement for Stefano Pioli. Ronaldo's team has already signed Joao Felix to bolster their attack, but remains active in the market. Coman is open to joining Al-Nassr after agreeing to a deal worth over €20 million per year, according to reports. Bayern have opted to part ways with Coman after their summer acquisition of Luis Diaz from Liverpool. Once the move is finalised, the former will join fellow French stars Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, Moussa Diaby and multiple other top names in the Saudi Pro League. For Coman, the deal is a winner as he is reported to be getting paid double what he makes now. For Bayern, shedding his €17 million for each of the next two years was a major factor in deciding to make the move. Coman could soon be teammates with Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic and Ronaldo, though he went on record to say that he prefers Lionel Messi. Coman joined Bayern a decade back and has won nine Bundesliga titles, as well as scoring the winner in the 2020 Champions League final. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
