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.'

‘No appetite at all': King delivers brutal message to Prince Andrew over Epstein scandal
Entertainment Reporter Bronte Coy claims there's 'no appetite' from the British public for Prince Andrew to return to royal duties. Ms Coy's comments come as Prince Andrew's hopes of returning to royal duties have been firmly shut down by King Charles, despite the FBI confirming it will not pursue any further charges in the Jeffrey Epstein case. 'There's no appetite from the British public over here for him to return to royal duties. There seems to be no appetite at all from the King,' Ms Coy told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo. 'He doesn't have that public life, and there really doesn't look like they'll ever be a return to it.'

Liam and Noel Gallagher walk out hand-in-hand again for second Oasis Live '25 Wembley show
Oasis played their second concert at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night (26.07.25) - with Liam Gallagher and brother Noel Gallagher walking out together hand-in-hand once again. The reunited brothers walked on to the mammoth stage arms aloft to the track F*****' in the Bushes as the 90,000-plus fans inside the home of football let out a deafening cheer for the second of seven nights at the iconic venue. Oasis kicked off with Hello and followed it up with Acquiesce, with Liam and Noel sharing vocals, before playing an incendiary version of Morning Gory which was dedicated to the "early risers". Liam, 52, was in a playful mood throughout the night and took a moment on stage to clear up speculation about the hat he was wearing on Saturday evening and on Friday (25.07.25). Addressing the attention on his hat, Liam said: "Got one thing to clear up, it's not velvet ... It's jumbo cord and it's a f***ing bucket hat." After Some Might Say made the stadium shake from the thousands of people jumping around, Liam then spoke to the crowd again saying "what's this song? From Mongolia" as he introduced Bring It On Down from the band's acclaimed 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe. For Cigarettes and Alcohol, Liam asked the fans who were standing to do The Poznan, the celebration borrowed from their beloved Premier League football team Manchester City which involves fans facing away from the stage, linking arms with their fellow gig-goers and bouncing up and down in unison. The frontman said: "Right then beautiful people. I never ask you to do anything. I've never asked you to do the hokey cokey. Turn around and do the Poznan." The classics just kept coming and after Roll With It Noel took over on vocals for the ballad Talk Tonight. Before playing the 1995 B-side, the 58-year-old songwriter said: "This one is for the ladies." Noel then performed Half the World Away and Little By Little, which prompted a mass singalong, before Liam returned for D'You Know What I Mean? and Stand By Me from Oasis' third album Be Here Now. One of the evening's highlights was 1994 single Whatever which included Liam singing lyrics from The Beatles song Octopus's Garden. After Live Forever, Oasis departed the stage after an staggering rendition of Rock 'n' Roll Star. They returned to more deafening cheers for an encore of of mass singalongs with Noel on The Masterplan and Don't Look Back In Anger - which pop star Dua Lipa was spotted passionately singing along to - and then Wonderwall with Liam back behind the mic. Before playing set closer Champagne Supernova, Liam thanked fans for sticking with him and Noel during their 16 years away and for coming out in their tens of thousands at each show so far on the reunion tour. He said: "It must be hard work supporting us. Look after yourselves." As the final notes of the rock epic played, the London night sky was lit up by explosions of fireworks as the fans cheered the Gallaghers and their bandmates off stage.

Sad truth behind F1 Movie's haunting real-life crash: ‘Is this me?'
Almost everything in the blockbuster F1 movie is fictional, but the protagonist's spine-chilling origin story really happened exactly as depicted on screen. Brad Pitt's character Sonny Hayes is haunted by a high-speed crash which initially cost him his Formula One dream, but for the man who survived that crash in real life, there would be no Hollywood ending. In 1990, Martin Donnelly was a promising British racing driver with the Lotus Formula One team, but a suspension failure in a practice session for the Spanish Grand Prix sent him hurtling into the Armco barrier at around 257km/h. The aftermath is one of the most horrifying scenes ever witnessed in motorsport. Donnelly says he has no memory of the crash, but he told CNN Sports that his car effectively became a bobsled without any steering or braking control prior to the moment of impact. 'The carbon fibre tub shattered like a car bomb, and I went with the energy,' he said. 'I got thrown out by about 60 metres and travelled through the air and along the ground like a rag doll.' Donnelly remained strapped to his seat, coming to rest awkwardly in the middle of the track. As cars navigated their way past him and through the field of debris, the marshals in Jerez waited for the arrival of doctor Sid Watkins, but the assumption was that Donnelly was already dead. When Watkins flipped open the visor of his helmet, Donnelly's face had turned blue. He was unconscious having swallowed his tongue, had broken many of his bones — including both of his legs — and his internal organs had been so traumatised that he would be clinging to life on a respirator and kidney dialysis for weeks. Martin Donnelly was lucky to escape with his life, let alone his legs. Credit: Getty After being helicoptered to hospital in Seville, a priest was summoned to read him his last rites. Donnelly was lucky to escape with his life and both of his legs, and although he was subsequently able to resume his motor racing career, he never returned to Formula One as a driver. At least, not in real life. Over three decades later, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and the other producers of the movie perused F1 archives to find the crash upon which to base Hayes' narrative arc, a decision that was quickly made once they viewed Donnelly's dramatic incident in Jerez. Hamilton made the call to seek permission, blindsiding Donnelly one Saturday night at home. 'I thought it was going to be one of those cold calls for central heating or double-glazed windows,' he recalled. 'I was quite aggressive ... it's not every day you receive a call from a seven-time world champion!' When asked what had made him so good as a young racing driver, Donnelly joked with CNN Sports: 'Well it wasn't my good looks, that's for sure.' So, he could scarcely have imagined that one of Hollywood's biggest heartthrobs would end up playing a character based on his life experience in a movie. Donnelly said it was surreal to find himself filming in a garage at Brands Hatch, with Pitt asking for advice on where to stand and how to enter the car. ''Hey Brad, if I were you, just stand at the back of the car, walk around it, touch it, just ask the car to be good to you today, pray that you're going to be both quick and safe',' he recalled saying. Martin Donnelly with Brad Pitt during production of the F1 movie. Credit: CNN Donnelly said that he never dwelled upon the inherent dangers of high-speed racing. 'If you have something in the back of your mind about having an accident, you're not driving that car at 100 per cent, you're at 99 per cent,' he explained. 'In my mind, (accidents) happened to other drivers, not me.' Nevertheless, as he described telling Pitt to climb from the left-hand side of the car, he accepted that he has always been a superstitious driver. 'My daughter once did a feature on me at school and said, 'Dad, can you write down all the superstitions you have,' and there were two A4 pages of it. She says, 'Oh my god, dad, you need some help!'' In assisting with the production of the movie, Donnelly was forced to relive the most traumatic experience of his life, experiencing it for the first time in the third person. The director recreated the crash and filmed it repeatedly, prompting him to wonder: 'Is this what I'm known for?' 'I watched them get a mannequin in yellow overalls and a helmet fly out of this car 15 times and all these cameras are taking pictures,' Donnelly said. 'And then it would drop and be dragged along the ground. For me, that was a reality check because I've never seen it happen.' Donnelly said that footage was never used in the final edit, perhaps because nothing could match the intensity of the original television recording, which he said he didn't know would be used until he saw the movie in the cinema. While he said that he feels 'honoured and privileged that Brad Pitt chose my accident and my life to document', the 61-year-old admitted that the whole thing is bittersweet; his crash came at a cost. 'This is what I've been reenacted for,' he lamented. 'And my friends at the time — Damon Hill, Jonny Herbert, Eddie Irvine, David Coulthard have all gone on to be very successful and very rich. Why wasn't I given a chance to have that? Because when they were my teammates, I kicked their asses!' But then he stops himself, recalling the fate of one of F1's greatest ever drivers Ayrton Senna. The Brazilian famously walked to the site of Donnelly's accident at Jerez and watched as the rescue teams fought to revive him on the track. Senna was close to Donnelly and clearly affected by his friend's clash in 1990. Credit: Getty/CNN They were close, and Senna offered anything he could do to help with his recovery. Four years later, Senna himself was involved in a devastating crash at the San Marino Grand Prix, and he was not so lucky. 'I do believe that I could easily have become a world champion but then I come back to reality. I'm still talking to you,' he said. 'My friend Senna is dead. He had all the millions in his back pocket, three-time world champion, but who's he going to share it with? 'His death on May 1st, 1994, was the final nail in the coffin for me to say, 'Hey Martin, look around you, you're in the paddock, you're still involved with the sport that you love. You've got no right to complain'.'
