Oasis hilariously joked on mic about viral Coldplay Astronomer video
It has been five days, but the viral moment from a Foxborough Coldplay concert still has legs. Last Wednesday, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief People Officer from Astronomer were caught in an embrace on the big screen at the show. The clip was picked up by the internet, becoming a meme and creating a new in-game kiss cam theme at sporting events.
Even Coldplay Chris Martin seemed to make light of the exposed affair at their Madison concert.
Now Oasis is getting in on the action. At the band's Heaton Park show on July 20, they made a joke as they chatted to the crowd. "Do we have any lovebirds in the house? Don't worry we don't got any of that Coldplay [expletive] camera [expletive]."
WARNING: The clip contains some NSFW language (it is Oasis after all).
Oasis started touring again for the first time in 16 years on July 4, opening their reunion tour in Cardiff, Wales. The brotherly duo of Noel and Liam Gallagher was a staple in the 90s, and they shocked everyone when they announced their 2025 tour. The "Wonderwall" singers have completed seven tour stops so far, with five shows at Wembley in London up next.

Oasis gave most ‘ground-shaking' performance of last 20 years
Oasis provided the most 'ground-shaking' performance at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium when they last played there in 2009, according to analysis of seismic data. The Gallagher brothers' last Scottish gig has topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said. The June 2009 Oasis gig beat the Red Hot Chili Peppers in June 2004, Kings of Leon in June 2011 and Taylor Swift in June last year – when measuring the peak earthshaking power of each event. The measurements were taken from a nearby seismic monitoring station, some 4km from the venue. At peak power of 215.06Kw, the Oasis gig was more than twice as powerful as the next strongest one by the Red Hot Chili Peppers at 106.87Kw. The rankings were revealed ahead of Oasis's comeback tour arriving in the Scottish capital this weekend – meaning there could be another 'shakermaker'. The power output is not related to the volume of the band or the crowd, rather it is the movement of fans jumping and dancing in time to the music, with the height of the jumping and weight of the crowd also potential factors. It means the current cohort of Oasis fans' seismic output could perhaps be compared to those of previous years. BGS seismologist Callum Harrison said: 'In 2009, seismic signals generated by Oasis fans were consistent with a crowd energy of 215kW at its peak – enough to power around 30 of the scooters featured on the iconic Be Here Now album cover. 'Our network of sensors around the country is sensitive enough to pick up ground movement from a source miles away that may not be detectable to humans – and precise enough to register exact timestamps for when the events occur. 'The peak energy reading was recorded around 8.30pm on that June evening back in 2009, which correlates to the time the band first took the stage and performed Rock 'N' Roll Star, which couldn't be more fitting in terms of topping our seismic music chart.' The BGS keeps an archive of continuous ground motion recordings from seismic sensors around the country, dating back several decades. Mr Harrison added: 'In this instance we are only looking back over 20 years, however geological processes occur over vast time scales that can be difficult for humans to comprehend. 'Improving our understanding of historical earthquakes is an important part of BGS research in trying to understand and mitigate the seismic risk around the country.' Ahead of the sold-out gigs at Murrayfield, which begin on Friday, Mr Harrison said it is 'certainly possible' they could top the previous gig's output in 2009, adding: 'We'll just have to wait and see.' He said: 'The main contributing factors are going to be how energetic the crowd is. 'If they're jumping along with the music, how high or how fast are they jumping?'

Why Divorce Lawyers Say The 'Jumbotron Astronomer' Will Walk Away Untouched
The Coldplay concert scandal that turned a once‑respected CEO into the infamous 'Jumbotron Astronomer' set social media ablaze. However, in the eyes of California law, his alleged affair doesn't mean much. While the internet has passed judgment, family law attorney Richard Sullivan says courts operate under a very different set of rules. What The 'Jumbotron Astronomer' Doesn't Realize About Divorce When the stadium cameras caught for Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron, cozying up to a woman who wasn't his wife, the former data startup executive became an overnight viral sensation. Dubbed the 'Jumbotron Astronomer,' he went from businessman to cautionary tale in seconds. However, while the public was quick to speculate about divorce settlements and custody battles, Richard Sullivan insists the outcome won't be nearly as dramatic. 'People often assume cheating automatically impacts the outcome of a divorce, especially emotionally charged cases like this,' Sullivan explained in an exclusive chat with The Blast. 'But California is a no-fault divorce state. That means the court doesn't care who cheated or why the marriage ended. Infidelity may be morally outrageous, but it doesn't change the financial outcome.' Even though Andy's reputation took a stadium‑sized hit, Sullivan makes it clear that California law doesn't reward betrayed spouses with bigger settlements. California Law Ignores Infidelity For many, the idea that such a public betrayal has no legal consequence might feel shocking. However, Sullivan emphasizes that in California, adultery is not a bargaining chip in divorce. Property division remains equal, and spousal support is based on earnings and lifestyle, not on who embarrassed whom on the Jumbotron. 'Unless community funds were used to support the affair—like expensive travel or gifts—cheating has very little legal consequence,' Sullivan adds. 'It might matter emotionally. But in court, it's irrelevant.' This means that even if the 'Jumbotron Astronomer's' wife decides to end the marriage, the outcome will follow a predictable formula. Viral shame may haunt him socially, but in the courtroom, the scandal is practically invisible. Custody Battles Rarely Hinge On Scandal Perhaps the most sensitive issue in any divorce is custody, but here, too, Sullivan pours cold water on dramatic assumptions. Unless a parent's actions directly endanger children or reflect consistent neglect, family courts are not swayed by headlines. 'Bad judgment during a concert isn't enough to label someone an unfit parent,' Sullivan says. 'Public embarrassment is painful, but family court is about structure and stability.' For the disgraced executive, that means his role as a father likely remains intact, even as his image unravels online. California courts prioritize safety and consistency over public humiliation when deciding custody. In the end, while the 'Jumbotron Astronomer' may have lost face under the bright lights of a Coldplay concert, Richard Sullivan makes one truth clear: in California, adultery may ignite gossip, but it rarely sparks legal fire. What Former Astronomer CEO's Wife Could Gain From A Divorce Following the Coldplay kiss cam scandal, Andy Byron's wife, Megan, changed her last name on Facebook from Byron to Kerrigan, after which she deleted her account on the social media platform. Megan also deleted once‑joyful family photos of Andy with his two sons, including a hiking trip picture and a graduation celebration. Her decision to delete her account came after several people flooded her with comments about Andy's cheating scandal. For now, it remains unknown if Megan will file for divorce from Andy, as she has yet to comment on the scandal publicly. However, if she decides to end their marriage, she could get half of Andy's estimated worth of $20-70 million. Former Astronomer CEO's Wife Spotted For The First Time Since Scandal Amid the Coldplay kiss cam scandal, Megan was reported to be staying away from the spotlight at the family's $2.4 million estate in Maine. Sources told the Daily Mail that Megan has been leaning on close family, including her sister Maura, who quickly traveled to be by her side after viral footage showed her husband cozying up to his HR chief, Kristin Cabot. In the scandal's immediate aftermath, Megan left their $1.4 million residence in Northborough, Massachusetts, and retreated to the Kennebunk property, roughly 106 miles away. Teh 50-year-old Megan serves as Associate Director of Lower School and Hope Graham Program Admissions at Bancroft School. Solve the daily Crossword

Liam Gallagher appears to joke about using drugs ahead of Oasis show — before entering porta-potty
For Liam Gallagher, the masterplan was to crack a joke. And one fan spotted the singer, 52, putting his sense of humor on display while at their Oasis comeback tour. A concertgoer shared footage of Liam jokingly pretending to snort drugs backstage during the August 3 show at Wembley Stadium in London.

In response, Liam raises his hand to his nose and covers a nostril with the other. The rocker did it once more before stepping into the bathroom and closing the door behind him. Liam has opened up about his drug use in the past, telling The Guardian in 2017 that if he could have a do-over, he'd 'maybe rein it in on the drugs and drink.' Advertisement Liam added that he didn't use recreational drugs 'as much as I used to.' 'I don't drink as much as I used to. Don't smoke weed; bores the s— out of me,' he said at the time. 'I smoke cigarettes but not a load — last week I didn't smoke any! I've got a bit of discipline. But yeah, every now and then, it depends what's going on.' The band dramatically split up due to a feud between brothers and bandmates, Liam and Noel.

Days later, after the English singer recovered, the band was supposed to perform at the Paris' Rock en Seine festival but never came on stage. Two hours later, Noel, 58, released a heated statement on Oasis' website. Advertisement 10 Liam Gallagher of Oasis performs during the opening night of their Live '25 Tour.

'People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.' Liam and the rest of the group continued under a new name, Beady Eye. They released two studio albums before splitting in 2014. Noel, meanwhile, created Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds in 2010. He brought on several former Oasis members to take part in the project, including guitarist Gem Archer, keyboardist Mike Rowe and drummer Chris Sharrock. 10 Liam Gallagher (L) and Noel Gallagher (R) of Oasis perform live at the Melt!

The musician was furious and ended up suing his brother. Liam demanded an apology, stating at the time: 'The truth is I had laryngitis, which Noel was made fully aware of that morning, diagnosed by a doctor.'

It's slippery, he slipped apparently, we do not know the rest of it. There's questions about the barriers.' Clive told the US Sun: 'I've been told that it was an accident waiting to happen.'
