Liam Gallagher blasts Coldplay over viral kiss cam cheating moment
The 52-year-old, who is back on the road with Oasis, hit out at the incident on stage amid the continuing fallout from the Coldplay concert in Boston on Wednesday.
Frontman Chris Martin joked about a couple caught on camera cuddling — later identified as Andy Byron, 50, and Kristin Cabot, both executives at software firm Astronomer — who are reportedly both married to other people.
Gallagher made it clear that Oasis fans need not fear the spotlight at his gigs, following global backlash over the pair's alleged fling.
'Right then, do we have any love birds in the house? Don't worry, we ain't got any of that Coldplay snidey f***ing camera s***,' he told the crowd in Manchester on Sunday night, local time.
'This one's for the love birds anyway.
'Doesn't matter to us who you're mingling with — or tingly with, fingingly with.
'None of our f***ing business.'
The incident at the Coldplay concert drew widespread attention after Chris Martin's stage camera landed on Byron and Cabot, who appeared stunned.
'Oh, look at these two — either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin said.
The clip rapidly gained traction online, viewed more than 120 million times.
Following the incident, Astronomer confirmed Byron's resignation, stating: 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.
'While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not.'
The concertgoer who filmed the footage said she hadn't expected the attention the footage would receive.
'In the moment when I filmed it I didn't think much of it, but everyone was kind of chattering,' Grace Springer told British broadcaster ITV.
'I definitely feel for Andy's wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process.'
Asked whether she would post it again, she replied: 'If it wasn't me who uploaded it, I'm sure someone else would've.'

Ozzy Osbourne remembered by stars from Elton John to Jason Momoa in touching posts
In life, Ozzy Osbourne was dubbed 'The Prince of Darkness'. And as word of his death Tuesday spread, rock's royalty bade farewell to the irrepressible Black Sabbath singer. 'He was a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods — a true legend,' Elton John posted on Instagram. 'He was also one of the funniest people I've ever met.' Another British singer with a distinctive voice and offbeat sense of humor, Rod Stewart, also weighed in with condolences. 'Bye, bye Ozzy,' Stewart posted on Instagram. 'I'll see you up there — later rather than sooner.' Osbourne was an avid Beatles fan and credited the Fab Four with inspiring his musical career. The official X page of the late Beatles great John Lennon sent a bit of love Osbourne's way by simply posting 'OZZY,' accompanied by a black heart. 'Farewell to the Prince of Darkness,' the official X page of the late guitar god Jimi Hendrix posted. Heavy metal singers Osbourne inspired, like David Coverdale, formerly of Deep Purple and Whitesnake, Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe, Dee Snider of Twister Sister and David Draiman of Disturbed, who referred to Ozzy as 'my dear teacher', also paid their respects online. Loading Instagram Post So did other masters of heavy metal, like Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of Kiss, as well as groundbreaking rappers like Ice-T and Flavor Flav. 'Man, real heart broken over the passing of OZZY OSBOURNE,' Flavor Flav posted. Pop star T-Pain, champion of auto-tune vocal processing who covered Black Sabbath's War Pigs in 2023, expressed sorrow on X, where he used a devil's horns hand emoji as a tribute. 'Heartbroken by the news,' the artist said. 'I was blessed to be able to cover War Pigs and get your recognition. Ozzy Forever 🤘🏿' Actor Danny Trejo described Osbourne as a man of 'pure light' despite his trademark reputation for darkness. He said the icon had a heart bigger than any stage he graced. 'Save me a seat backstage up there, carnál,' Trejo said on Facebook. Actor Jason Momoa, who emceed Osbourne's last performance earlier this month, posted expressions of 'aloha' and 'ohana,' Hawaiian for 'family,' for Sharon Osbourne. There were also bipartisan expressions of grief from prominent U.S. politicians. 'Ozzy Osbourne was a man of multitudes: larger-than-life, yet honestly human,' California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, posted. Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., posted photos of herself and her family on X with Osbourne. 'Ozzy was a true pioneer of heavy metal and an enduring symbol of the rebellious, freedom-loving spirit that resonates across our nation and throughout the world,' Spartz wrote. 'He will be missed.' Osbourne gained a whole new generation of fans when he and his madcap family became the subject of a reality TV show called, appropriately enough, 'The Osbournes.' It ran on MTV from 2002 through 2005, and that, coupled with his heavy metal showmanship, earned him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Fittingly for a rock icon who came from the bleakest corner of Birmingham, England, it was placed on Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum. And as word of Osbourne's death spread, flowers were placed on the star and fans stopped to express their condolences. 'Ozzy Osbourne was more than a rock legend—he was a cultural icon who reshaped music and defied expectations,' Ana Martinez, who is the producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said in a statement. 'His star on the Walk of Fame will now shine even brighter as fans from around the world come to honor his incredible legacy. He will be deeply missed.'

Apple heiress to be wed this week in $10.2 million countryside ceremony
Apple heiress Eve Jobs, 27, is set to tie the knot with Olympic equestrian gold medallist fiance Harry Charles, 26, this week — in a $6.7 million (A$10.2m), British countryside blowout, boasting family friend Kamala Harris on the guest list and a performance by Elton John. Describing the working model's big day as 'a multi-million-pound fairytale' in the making, one insider claimed that the elite event, planned by 'I do'-industry superstar Stanlee Gatti, was already 'turning rural Oxfordshire upside down.' The source told The Sun that the failed 2024 presidential contender — a close, personal pal of matriarch Laurene Powell Jobs — will be in attendance, alongside the likes of Jessica Springsteen, Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders and Princess Beatrice. Tech scions Jennifer and Phoebe Gates are thought to be making the trip as well. 'The wedding is being planned like a military operation. The itinerary is scheduled so precisely, with guests starting to arrive all this week before the wedding celebrations begin on Thursday,' the insider said. Jobs' siblings — Reed, 33, and Erin, 29 — are also expected to attend the ultra-posh party, though sources close to the family were unsure whether or not the bride's half-sister, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, will be present. Though details regarding Jobs' wedding looks have been kept under wraps this far, many have speculated that the blushing bride will opt for a unique couture gown for the main event. The happy pair first publicly debuted their relationship at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, where Charles was competing. Since graduating from Stanford University, where her parents first met, Jobs has walked Paris Fashion Week runways for luxury labels like Coperni, competed in equestrian World Cup Finals and followed in her mother's philanthropic footsteps. Jobs is currently signed with DNA Model Management. In recent years, she has appeared on the cover of Vogue Japan — as well as a splashy Louis Vuitton campaign. Notably, the offspring of the late tech titan Steve Jobs will not inherit the Apple architect's billions, it has been widely reported. Last month, the 27-year-old jetted off to Capri for a lavish Italian bachelorette weekend — alongside close friends like Olympian Eileen Gu, and fellow Stanford alums. Her fiancé's sister, Scarlett, and mother, Tara, also attended the glam girls' getaway.

Ozzy Osbourne, heavy metal's wild prince of darkness
A behemoth among the monsters of rock music, Ozzy Osbourne will be best remembered for his showmanship and unique sound. The British frontman of Black Sabbath, he was at the forefront of the heavy metal scene - a deeper, darker offshoot of hard rock. His theatrical stage presence - including once biting off the head of a bat - and styling himself as the Prince of Darkness marked him out as a controversial figure. Band break-ups fuelled by disputes with fellow members and drug abuse and a well-documented battle with alcoholism cemented that reputation. He was also among the vanguard of now-ubiquitous modern reality TV stars, appearing with his family in the hit MTV show The Osbournes. Born John Michael Osbourne on December 3, 1948 in Aston, Birmingham, he left school at 15 and did odd jobs including factory work before teaming up with school friend Geezer Butler in several bands. The pair then linked up with the other founder members of Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, to form what was then called Earth Blues Company - later shortened to Earth - in 1968. Initially a Mod who loved soul music, according to his biography on the band's official website, Osbourne crafted his darker image after writing lyrics for a song entitled Black Sabbath after the 1963 Boris Karloff film of the same name. The name stuck - after they were forced to change it from Earth - and the band went on to sell millions of records over the next decade on the back of sound-defining tracks including Paranoid and War Pigs. A product of their working-class roots and the post-Vietnam War era, the band tackled themes of war, social chaos and the supernatural. But drug use began to take its toll on Osbourne and his relationship with his fellow band members and he was eventually fired in 1979. He launched a solo career, enjoying success during the 1980s, before reforming with Sabbath several times - including in 2016 for a final world tour. As a group, Black Sabbath is widely credited with defining and popularising the sound of heavy metal. As a solo artist, Osbourne released 11 albums, with his debut Blizzard Of Ozz issued in 1980, which featured two of his most revered songs, Crazy Train and Mr Crowley. The Birmingham-born singer sold more than 100 million records worldwide with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist. In 2014, he was presented with a global icon award at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Osbourne married his first wife Thelma Riley in 1971 but after having two children the couple split in 1982 after, he admitted, his rock 'n roll lifestyle meant he put her "through hell". He married Sharon, the daughter of his former Black Sabbath manager Don Arden, in July of that year. The pair met in the 1970s via her father and she took over managing Osbourne after he was booted from the heavy metal group. They had three children together: Jack, Kelly and Aimee. The couple became an unlikely hit after starring between 2002 and 2005 in The Osbournes, which also launched the careers of Jack and Kelly, but the pair temporarily split in 2016. Former X Factor judge Sharon later revealed they had tried marriage counselling to get their relationship back on track - but gave up because it made him angry. During an interview in 2017 with Rolling Stone, he joked that the secret to his marriage was "don't get caught with your mistress". In the same year, he and Sharon renewed their wedding vows in Las Vegas. In his later years Osbourne attempted to press on with his rock career but was hampered by illness and injury. In February 2019, Sharon revealed he had been admitted to hospital after suffering from flu. The illness led to him cancelling a string of tour dates while he recovered, including postponing the UK and European legs of his No More Tours 2. Planned performances in Australia, New Zealand and Japan were also axed. Within months he was forced to postpone another string of tour dates - including a show at the famous Hollywood Bowl - after suffering a fall at his Los Angeles home in April. In November 2019, he returned to the stage for a one-song performance at the American Music Awards alongside rappers Post Malone and Travis Scott. Another blow came in January 2020 when the singer revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which was discovered after a fall. He was revealed to have a rare form of the disease called Parkin 2, which he had since birth. He made a surprise appearance onstage in his home city of Birmingham to close out the 2022 Commonwealth Games, backed by Black Sabbath as fireworks lit up the sky. But early in 2023 he announced that following extensive spinal surgery he was not "physically capable" of doing his tour dates in Europe and the UK. He said his singing voice was fine but that, following three operations, stem cell treatments, physical therapy sessions and more, his body was "still weak". Osbourne did not return to touring in 2024, but was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame for a second time, one of the few to be given the honour. He bid farewell to fans with a Black Sabbath reunion in his final live performance just weeks ago. The legendary rocker told thousands of heavy metal enthusiasts at Villa Park in Birmingham on July 5 that it was "so good to be on this stage" as he performed his last set from a large black throne. Osbourne and his fellow original Black Sabbath members - Iommi, Butler and Ward - were the last to appear on stage as part of a star-studded line-up for the Back to the Beginning concert.
