Susan Boyle thanks Oasis for dedicating song to her
Susan Boyle says Oasis 'made her day' after they dedicated a song to her at their Edinburgh show.
Liam Gallagher said 'this one's for Susan Boyle' before playing 'Stand By Me' for the Britain's Got talent singer.
The frontman also repeated the comment in an Instagram caption of photos from the Scottish gig.

Susan responded by posting a picture to her Instagram of her donned in an Oasis hat and tee-shirt.
In the caption talent show runner-up thanked Liam for the dedication saying: 'You've made this old girl's day'.
'Hope to see you and the rest of Oasis at Wembley in September for a wee bit of Poznan. Big love to you all.'
The band's three sold out shows in Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium this week were the first Scottish gigs since 2009.
Oasis' next stop will be in Dublin's Croke Park this weekend before they cross the Atlantic for the North American leg of the tour. They will then return to London for another two sold out shows in Wembley Stadium that Susan referred to.
Founding band member Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs touched down in Ireland on Wednesday after sharing a photo of the Dublin coastline from the plane.
The guitarist has re-joined Oasis alongside the Gallagher brothers and members Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker for their reunion tour
Sharing several Irish flag emojis and a view of the Dublin coast from a plane, the musician said: 'Bring on the noise."
He also shared a photo of fans enjoying a previous gig on the tour, telling Irish fans: 'See you in Dublin, bring the noise.'
The Gallagher brothers credit Arthur for being the reason the tour even exists, telling Cardiff fans: 'If it wasn't for him, none of this would have happened.'
Arthurs, a founding member of the band, played with Oasis for their first three albums before departing in 1999 and has played with Liam Gallagher's solo band in recent years.
After a 16-year hiatus, the Gallagher brothers announced last August that they would perform together for the first time since the band's split in 2009.
They will bring their highly anticipated Live '25 tour to Dublin for two sold-out nights on Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17.
On the first night of the tour last month, the band thanked their fans for 'putting up with us over the years'.
During the gig, Liam apologised to fans for how long it had taken for them to reunite. As they broke into fan-favourite Champagne Supernova, their final song of the evening, he said: 'Right you beautiful people, this is it. Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we know we've been difficult.

Young boy's dreams come true after special encounter with Noel Gallagher in Maynooth
Eight-year-old Conor Healy had a night to remember on Friday when his dreams came true - all thanks to a chance meeting with Oasis legend Noel Gallagher. Conor and his dad Ronan were at Brady's Clockhouse pub in Maynooth when they spotted the iconic musician enjoying a quiet drink with friends ahead of his sold-out shows at Croke Park this weekend. "We were just going in for a pint and looked over - and there he was, sitting there," Ronan recalled. "I don't even think the people outside - there were about 100 of them - had any idea he was inside. He was just sitting at the old bar, having a pint with a couple of his mates." When Conor asked if he could take a photo with the musician, Gallagher promised he would pose for one on his way out - and he kept his word. "My little fella asked for a photo, and Noel said he'd take one on his way out - and he stuck to his promise! As soon as he came out, he went looking for Conor, put his arms around him, and held on to him the whole time while people were trying to get photos," Ronan said. The proud dad joked that Conor is now a permanent part of the evening's memories. "Any photo anyone took of Noel tonight in Maynooth - Conor's in it too," he laughed. Ronan said the encounter felt like "two birthdays in one" for his son, who's not only a massive Oasis fan but also a devoted Manchester City supporter - just like Gallagher. "He's still high as a kite," Ronan said. "He's a big Man City fan as well as being mad into Oasis, and Noel being a City fan too - that just sealed it for him. It was like two birthdays rolled into one." Unfortunately, the pair weren't able to get tickets for Gallagher's sold-out shows at Croke Park this Saturday and Sunday. "We tried, but just weren't lucky. I was obviously going to bring Conor," Ronan said. But something tells us this won't be the last we hear of young Conor - especially since he's recently learned to play Wonderwall on the guitar. "He only picked it up in the last few weeks," Ronan added.

The Black-ish star shared the photos to Instagram with the caption: "2 things in these photos are coming out reallll soon…."

Tracee, who is the daughter of music sensation Diana Ross and Robert Ellis Silberstein, recently opened up on why she prefers to date younger men. She shared her thoughts with former First Lady Michelle Obama on the latter's podcast, IMO. "Often I date younger men," before revealing the real reason why," she said on the episode which aired in April. Tracee spoke about knowing herself and being in charge of her life, touching on why men her age aren't a good match for her most of the time. Tracee Ellis Ross reveals real reason she dates younger men - and it's not just because 'they're hot' Speaking about dating younger men, she said: "It's not just age. It's like life experience is sort of a difference. "But I had to ask myself the question, why?" Tracee continued: "A lot of men my age are steeped in a toxic masculinity and have been raised in a culture where there is a particular way that a relationship looks. "And anything that starts to smell of that for me... I did enough of it where I was controlled and felt like I was a possession or whatever those things were, or prize. "And I just, I have no interest in it and I will not do it again."

Noel Gallagher spotted socialising in Maynooth pub ahead of Oasis Croke Park gigs
He was spotted socialising this evening in Brady's Clockhouse pub in Maynooth, Co Kildare. Dressed in black and sporting shades, the 58-year-old was swamped by well-wishers as he was escorted into the bar by bodyguards. He later sat at a table with a number of associates, but it's unclear if he had any pints or just stuck to water or soft drinks in the lead up to the band's two gigs this weekend. Noel is staying at the five star Carton House hotel, which is located on the outskirts of Maynooth. Notable guests down through the years at that luxury hotel have included Queen Victoria, Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco, Julie Andrews, Mick Jagger, Lana Del Rey, Peter Sellers and Marianne Faithfull. Noel flew into Dublin this afternoon, while Liam is expected in the capital tomorrow morning. The Oasis singer is tipped to be staying at the five star Powerscourt Hotel (formerly the Ritz Carlton) in Co Wicklow. Other members of the band flew into Ireland on Wednesday. Rhythm guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and drummer Joey Waronker went for a swim at Killiney beach yesterday. The guitarist has re-joined Oasis alongside the Gallagher brothers and members Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker for their reunion tour, which continues in Dublin this weekend. It comes as the first images of the stage set-up in Croke Park emerged yesterday. Learn more The group have so far performed 15 nights around England, Wales and Scotland and are currently in Ireland enjoying a four-day gap between their last show of a three-night stopover in Edinburgh and Saturday's Croke Park gig. After their Dublin shows, the band is setting off to Canada, US, and Mexico, before playing at Wembley Stadium in London again on September 27 and 28. They will later head off to Asia, Australia and South America, with the last stop of their Oasis Live '25 tour in Sao Paulo in Brazil on November 22 and 23. After a 16-year hiatus, the Gallagher brothers announced last August they would perform together for the first time since the band's split in 2009. After almost a year-long wait for Irish fans, Oasis will bring their highly anticipated Live 25 tour to Croke Park for two sold-out nights on Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17, in front of 160,000 fans. This will be their first gig in Ireland since 2009, when the rock band performed in Slane Castle.
