Dressed in all black, the bomber jacket wearing musician, who is worth an estimated £25m, was pictured sitting alone at Paddington Station before hopping aboard a train.
It was a far cry from his rock 'n' roll star brother Liam's arrival as cameras clamoured to get a shot of him through the window of a car.
The 52-year-old frontman looked to have loaded up on cough syrup and Lockets, presumably a bid to protect his trademark raspy vocals.
However, the sight of a box load of throat medicine is likely to leave ticketholders, particularly those at dates later in the run, feeling a little nervous about Liam's stamina.

Rock superstar back with ex girlfriend five months after dramatically splitting as pair look at properties together
A pal who confirmed the pair had rekindled their romance has also revealed how Ozzy Osbourne's death impacted the rock star HAPPIER NOW Rock superstar back with ex girlfriend five months after dramatically splitting as pair look at properties together Yungblud is back with girlfriend Jesse Jo Stark five months after they parted. US singer Jess, who is Cher's goddaughter, started dating the British punk rocker in 2020. 8 Brit punk rocker Yungblud has reunited with ex Jesse Jo Stark, Cher's goddaughter, five months after they split Credit: Click News and Media 8 Our exclusive snaps show Yungblud and Jesse house‑hunting in London, pausing at a window marked 'heart and soul' Credit: Click News and Media But the pair called it quits in March after he said he needed to be 'a better boyfriend, a better brother, son, a better artist'. Now they're an item again, and my exclusive pictures show Yungblud — real name Dominic Harrison — and Jesse on a day out in London. They were looking at properties in an estate agent's window that had the words 'heart and soul' written on it. A pal confirmed they have rekindled their romance and said: 'Dom and Jesse are super-happy together. 'They had been dating for a long time when they chose to slow things down. 'A lot was happening in Dom's life and he wanted to get his head straight so he could give his all to Jesse. 'So happy' 'They started getting more serious again a few weeks ago and they're doing really well. 'Dom and Jesse went off on a short holiday together too, which was much needed, especially for Dom. Losing Ozzy Osbourne, who was a great friend to Dom, has been really difficult. 'If anything, it's taught him to grasp each day with both hands. 'Their friends are thrilled to see them together again and so happy.' YUNGBLUD - teresa Chatting about their split in May, Patience singer Dom, who has three No1 albums under his belt, said: 'It was a 'me' problem. Everything is a 'me' problem. 'I was drowning, and I couldn't figure out why. I've literally got a tattoo of her under my arm. 8 The death of his friend Ozzy Osbourne hit Yungblud hard Credit: Getty 'I don't know what it is. We needed space, we needed time, and she's giving me that, because she truly gets me. I needed to look at myself in the mirror, on my own for a while.' Despite spending time apart, Dom made it clear he was still head-over-heels for Jesse, who released her debut album Doomed in 2022. Dom, who today opened his first fan club and shop at 20 Denmark Street in London, previously told the We Need To Talk podcast: 'She's probably the most incredible person I have ever met and she's my best friend and I feel so lucky to be in her orbit. 'I got to talk this through with her and she understood and she needed a moment. 'We talk every Sunday. Ultimately, I think in my life, all roads lead to her because I love her. I never loved anything like I love her. 'I love her as everything. And I love her as if I'd love water. I need it, you know. I think I'd never experience love like it — when you could be that honest with another human being, even in times when we're not technically together.' Anne dances with Devil 8 Anne Hathaway channels Gene Kelly as she dances around a lamppost while filming in New York Credit: Getty Forget The Devil Wears Prada – Anne Hathaway looks more primed for a reboot of 1952 classic Singing In The Rain. The American actress was seen dancing around a lamppost, just like Gene Kelly did 73 years ago, as she filmed scenes for the upcoming sequel of the fashion film in New York. Anne, alongside co-stars including Meryl Streep and Patrick Brammall, has been spotted working on the new movie in the Big Apple for the past few weeks. The sequel is out on May 1 next year and promises more bitchiness than ever, as fearsome Miranda Priestly struggles with new rival and former assistant Emily Charlton, played by Emily Blunt. I can't wait. So, rest for the Wicked 8 Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will scale back the promo for their Wicked sequel - with no London premiere planned Credit: Getty Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were practically unavoidable last autumn as they promoted the first Wicked film – from chat shows to viral interviews and appearances at no less than five premieres. But some of you will be breathing a sigh of relief, as I can reveal they have drastically scaled down the promotion for the second and final instalment of the movie musical, Wicked: For Good. I've been told there are no plans for a premiere in London. Instead, a single launch event will take place in New York ahead of its release on November 21. On top of that, leading ladies Ariana and Cynthia, who play Glinda and Elphaba, will only do a fraction of the interviews they did for the original. A movie insider said: 'The reaction to the first movie was incredible and studio bosses feel like people are locked in now, so are bound to buy tickets to see the second film. 'The marketing spend on the first movie was astronomical, so they think they can save a fortune by cutting back this time and just riding on the momentum from part one. 'And hopefully people won't get as tired of Cynthia and Ari this time.' I've heard it's been a long road to complete the second film and despite the fact filming officially wrapped more than 18 months ago, the movie is yet to be completed. I've no doubt this one will still be Popular. Kesha knows how to get a head 8 Kesha posing with a life-like model of her own head Credit: Instagram Kesha gave a very literal meaning to 'losing your head' in her latest social media post. The American singer shared a rather odd video dancing and posing with a life-like model of her own bonce. Kesha captioned the Instagram video: 'What's your red flag?' I think it's safe to say mine is this. Danny's a salad tosser 8 Danny Dyer has teamed up with Deliveroo to inspire Brits with creative barbecue side dishes Credit: Mike Buck / Deliveroo Danny Dyer has confirmed what his critics have long thought, declaring: 'I'm proud to be a tosser.' But his declaration of being a bit of d**k isn't all as it seems. The ex-EastEnders and Rivals actor has teamed up with Deliveroo to create a load of fancy barbecue side dishes. It is in a bid to get Brits to be more creative this summer. He promotes the delivery app's new 'Freshness Promise', which means customers get their money back if groceries aren't brought fresh to their door. Danny, below, who filmed a hilarious video with Deliveroo to announce the launch, said: 'Salads and sides have been mugged off at barbecues, left in the shadows while the main event gets all the glory. 'I'm here to tell you it's time to embrace your inner tosser . . . ' I'll try my best, Danny. Radio 1's Mollie King has revealed she was away from her DJ role to have surgery. The ex-Saturdays singer wrote on Instagram: 'I had to take some time off in July for an operation but everything went well and I'm doing much better now. 'I'll be back on air in September and can't wait.' A taste of the fame game If you love all things showbiz and celebrity, then we have discovered the perfect event for you. A new theatre show called Fame*Factory is launching at Immerse LDN this October. The show in East London is created by Done + Dusted, the team behind the Oscars, MTV's VMAs and the Brits. It gives people the chance to live their very own A-lister dream. As well as spending the night emulating your favourite celebrity, you have your own publicist on hand to help as you embark on making your big-screen debut. Plus, guests will be taught how to pose for the paparazzi, to give an Oscar-worthy speech and be told what not to do in a crisis. Talking of which, the Bizarre team can think of a couple of bona fide stars who could do with a refresher . . . Grease is the word as park hosts Rydell High 8 For just six weeks, Evolution in London's Battersea Park has been transformed into a real-life Rydell High School Credit: Alamy Most people I know have watched Grease ten times over. But I'm willing to bet they haven't seen a version as amazing as Secret Cinema's. For just six weeks, Evolution in London's Battersea Park has been transformed into a real-life Rydell High School. Rather than simply watching the show, you are transported into the story itself, with the scenes between Danny and Sandy, right, playing out around them. From the school canteen to the car mechanics, every key moment is recreated throughout the venue. Blurring the lines between what is part of the performance or not, guests are also encouraged to come in fancy dress. Having never been to a Secret Cinema show before, I was on the fence as to whether it would do film justice. But no expense has been spared on the sets, which include a working fairground. If you're looking for fun on these summer nights, this is the one that you want.

Dad of man who died at Oasis gig was told 'it was an accident waiting to happen'
A "loving family man" who tragically fell to his death at an Oasis concert in Wembley slipped on spilled beer, his dad claims. Lee Claydon, 45, is believed to have fallen from the arena's upper tier just as the sell-out gig wrapped on Saturday night. The dad, from Bournemouth, was described as a "lifelong" fan of the Gallagher brothers and was at the gig alongside his brother Aaron, and his niece and nephew. Lee tragically died at the scene despite the best efforts of medics who desperately tried to save his life. His devastated father Clive Claydon, 75, claims his son plunged to his death after slipping on beer. "There was beer all over the floor, it was really slippery and Lee just slipped and fell," Clive said, reports The Mirror. "I've been told that it was an accident waiting to happen. It was a horrible, horrible accident. All I really know is there was beer everywhere, he slipped and we don't know the rest of it. Lee Claydon and his partner Amanda (Image: Facebook) "I wasn't there so I don't know what happened, but it will all come out. I am so devastated. I can't understand how it happened, I've never been to Wembley, but you would expect the health and safety to be good," he told the Sun. "He has never taken drugs in his life and he may have had a beer, who doesn't at a concert, but he certainly was not drunk." Lee's dad previously said his son was "a lifelong Oasis fan and he was so looking forward to going. Out of all the thousands of people there why's it got to be my son?" Paying tribute to Lee on Facebook, his cousin Shannon Gabrielle said: "Honestly don't even know what words to write right now. My cousin Lee tragically passed away this weekend after no doubt having the time of his life at the Oasis concert this weekend, most will have seen snippets in the news I'm sure and as you can imagine it has devastated the whole family and for his closest knit family unit it's the toughest time they are going through ever right now. "Sharing his go fund me page, in the hope that any donations, big or small, will go a long way towards helping his partner Amanda and the boys throughout this awful period and costs of things. You just don't fathom you will go out for a night of amazing fun and not come home at the end of it." After the news emerged, Oasis said they were "shocked and saddened" to hear of the death during their sell-out Wembley show this weekend. The band said in a statement: "We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night. Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved." Oasis at Wembley (Image: Lewis Evans/Big Brother Recordings) A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: "Wembley Stadium operates to a very high health and safety standard, fully meeting legal requirements for the safety of spectators and staff, and is certified to and compliant with the ISO 45001 standard. "We are regularly inspected by certifying authorities both on an event day and throughout the year, and we regularly review and test our plans to ensure adherence to the conditions set within the stadium's general safety certificate. "We work very closely and collaboratively with all relevant event delivery stakeholders - including event owners, local authorities, the Sports Ground Safety Authority and the police - to deliver events to high standards of safety, security and service for everyone attending or working in the venue."

The favourites to headline as Slane Castle concerts set to return
Concerts at Slane Castle are expected to come back in 2026, on the 45th anniversary of its first ever gig. For over four decades, bands, singers and rappers have headed to the Meath castle to play one of the most iconic venues in the country, and dare we say the world, with over 80,000 revellers usually heading to the field. With Harry Styles being the last person to headline Slane in 2023, fans have been clamouring for the gigs to return — with the new lord of the castle, Alex Conyngham, confirming that he plans to bring the gigs back next year. U2 are the favourites to headline Slane next year. Pic: Han Myung-Gu/WireImage According to Ladbrokes, U2 are the hot favourites to headline Slane next year, with the odds of them performing at the Meath castle being 2/1. Bono and co last performed at Slane in 2001 as part of their Elevation tour, and haven't played in their home country since 2018 when they played the 3Arena, as part of their Experience and Innocence Tour. While most would think that, ahead of their huge Croke Park gig and after the reunion that most thought would never happen, Oasis would be a lock to play Slane — having last done so in 2009 — the brothers Gallagher are actually second favourites, with the odds of them performing at Slane for the first time in 17 years at 4/1. While the brothers Gallagher are on their insane reunion tour — which reaches Dublin next week — some believe that the band will return next year, with fingers being firmly crossed that they'll come to Slane. Pic:The lads were joined by their family members for the gig, tracing back their Irish roots as Peggy was born in Co Mayo, with Liam calling the gig 'f**king biblical' before they split two months later. Following their mammoth reunion tour, which will finally come to Dublin on August 16 and 17, fans believe that Oasis will kick off a new tour next year (including an anticipated 30-year anniversary gig in Knebworth), but Some Might Say that Slane is also on the cards. As for who else are dark horses to entertain the masses in Meath, Coldplay are coming up behind Oasis with odds of 5/1 (just don't bring the mistress), while Dublin's own Fontaines DC could take on their biggest gig ever as their careers go from strength to strength; coming in at 6/1 to headline the festival. Coldplay and Fontaines DC (pictured) are also rumoured to potentially take over Slane next summer — the latter of whom just headlined All Together Now in Waterford. Pic: Matt Crossick/Empics 'U2 are favourites to land in Meath once again and celebrate 25 years since their last appearance at the iconic venue,' Ladbrokes spokesperson Cal Gildart said. 'It's been a long while since they played in Ireland and this would be a beautiful way to return.' Following the death of Lord Henry Mount Charles earlier this year, his son Alex Conyngham confirmed that they're looking to bring the festival back for 2026; but kept mum on who could be Meath bound. 'My plan is to stage a 2026 gig in Slane, and the only thing I'm willing to confirm at this stage is our desire to do so,' Mr Conyngham said. 'We want to bring the shows back, we miss them, but it is not just about the revenue but keeping the name of Slane as a rock venue on the map.' WHO COULD HEADLINE SLANE NEXT YEAR: U2 – 2/1 Oasis – 4/1 Coldplay – 5/1 Fontaines DC – 6/1
