Oasis fans claim gig-goer 'ruined' experience for others with bizarre act
Oasis concluded their 14-show tour of the UK and Ireland as part of their Live '25 reunion tour over the weekend with two sold-out shows at Croke Park in Dublin. The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, will next tour North America before returning to London's Wembley Stadium in September for another two gigs that were added after the original run due to overwhelming demand.
Thousands of fans shelled out hundreds of euros to join the crowd at Croke Park, and while most undoubtedly had a blast, a select few concert-goers had their experience "ruined" - all because of another fan in the crowd.
Oasis enthusiast Holly Walsh was attempting to film a video of the Gallagher brothers performing their hit track Cigarettes and Alcohol, but one fan in her seating area "ruined" the entire clip.
Sharing the video on TikTok, Holly revealed that someone seated near her was singing along to the song in a high-pitched operatic voice, which could be heard loud and clear in the clip - and by all the fans around her.
Some commenters were quick to make light of the situation, with some joking that the singing was Liam Gallagher's "real voice", and others suggesting that renowned singer and Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle was in the crowd.
Comparisons were also drawn to Mickey Mouse, Elmo, and even The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins.
Some viewers were in stitches, claiming they were "wetting themselves" at the hilarity of the clip.
However, not everyone was amused by the singing, with many suggesting it would have "ruined" the gig for them if they'd been in Holly's position.
Another chimed in: "I'm glad I wasn't stuck behind her."
A third even attempted to claim responsibility for the peculiar singing voice, stating: "I was literally two rows in front of you and it possibly could have been me."
In the lead up to the Oasis gigs in Dublin, fans had highlighted the "best part" of the reunion shows so far after a video of Liam and Noel embracing backstage went viral.
The concerts mark the first time the brothers have performed together in 16 years, following Oasis' dramatic split in 2009. The sight of the brothers reuniting has sparked chatter about how "happy" their mother, Peggy Gallagher, must be.

Strictly couple Molly Rainford and Tyler West engaged three years after meeting on show
The Strictly Come Dancing stars announced their engagement after a romantic trip to Greece. Molly Rainford and Tyler West have announced their engagement, three years after appearing on the same series of Strictly. The Britain's Got Talent star and the TV presenter met on the BBC show in 2022, and now they're ready to tie the knot. The pair shared a video on Instagram with the caption: "Found our forever. 10.8.2025." The couple got engaged when the TV presenter got down on one knee during their romantic trip to Mykonos, Greece. Molly and Tyler met on the show after signing up for the competition and went on to fall in love with one another. In the heartwarming video, Tyler said: "I don't know where to start ... "So I'm hoping you can continue making me the luckiest man on this Earth, like you do every single day. So baby... will you marry me?" Both of them were in tears as Molly said yes as Tyler can be heard saying: "Yes! Get in! That's what I'm talking about." "Why am I smiling at my phone so hard! Congratulations guys," Melvin Odoom wrote. Fleur East added: "The most beautiful proposal. Congratulations to you both xxxxxxx." Marvin Humes shared: " is a lot, couldn't be happier for two incredible people who are just perfect for eachother..I'm SO happy!!! Ah man this has made my night.. congrats family.." Speaking previously about their romance, she said: "I suppose it developed towards the end of the tour because we'd spent so much time together and we were really good friends. "The tour was so much fun. We were just doing everything together and it just progressed from there really. He was like, 'Do you think when we get back, we could go on a date?' and I was like, 'Yeah, alright!' I was totally up for it." She added: "Everyone on Strictly was so excited for us. They kind of wanted it to happen [all the way through the show] and we were like, 'No, we are trying to be professional.'" Tyler finished in eighth place during his time on Strictly Come Dancing and was partnered with Dianne Buswell whilst Molly went all the way to the final with Carlos Gu. The series was eventually won by wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin. In other Strictly news, the full line-up for the upcoming series was recently announced, with stars like Vickie Pattison and Dani Dyer.

A new start after 60: I read out my old diaries online – and my youthful secrets went viral
Betsy Lerner doesn't see herself as a TikTok star – though the New York Times described her as one – or an influencer. That means payment and swag – all she's had is a free pen. 'I really do it for myself,' she says, 'and for the people who follow me'. Lerner, 64, has for 20 years worked as a literary agent for writers including Patti Smith and Temple Grandin. She's an author of nonfiction and now of a debut novel, Shred Sisters – 'a love letter to loneliness'. But the 'doing' she's talking about is on TikTok, where she has amassed 1.5m likes for videos in which she reads from the diaries she wrote in her turbulent 20s. 'You don't know who you'll love, who will love you, what you will do for work, what is your purpose,' she says in one post. 'This morning I found one line in my diary that just sums [your 20s] up: 'I feel as if I don't know who I am, today.'' Lerner posts in her dressing gown, without makeup. Initially she explored BookTok to support her authors. But with her own novel forthcoming, she started posting, camera off, and got no followers. 'A friend told me, you need to be on camera and think of it as your own TV channel … I thought, 'Well, maybe I will read from my old diaries.'' She'd kept one from the age of 11, after reading Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl. 'I wrote my first poems in there. I vented. I tried to analyse myself …' Her journals from the ages of 12 to 18 were lost when her car was stolen, but those from her 20s – about 30 volumes – were stowed in a crawl space in her attic. 'My diaries are very sad. They're all about being lonely, looking for love, looking for friendship, trying to figure out who I was,' she says. Lerner describes herself as 'a late bloomer'. She was accepted on to Columbia's MFA poetry programme at 26, entering publishing in her late 20s when most editorial assistants were fresh from college. 'I didn't fall in love till I was 30. I'd never had any significant relationships … I lost a lot of my teenage years and most of my 20s struggling with depression.' When she was 15, her parents had taken her to a psychiatrist, and she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. 'I didn't want to accept that I had this illness. I fought it a lot,' she says. Her 2003 memoir, Food and Loathing, documents her relationship with her weight, food, depression and more, and at one point in her late 20s describes her straddling a ledge on a bridge above the Hudson River. The turning point came at 30. She found a psychopharmacologist – who 'figured out' the right lithium dosage (they've worked together for 35 years) – and she got married. Her diaries stopped. She had written them alone in bed at night. But now, 'I just didn't feel that sad and lonely any more', she says. For years, Lerner says, 'I gravitated toward a lot of intensity.' Now, 'I prioritise stability over everything.' She had never thought she'd write a novel. But in 2019 she came through 'four very tragic deaths'. She lost her mother, then her teenage niece and nephew, Ruby and Hart Campbell, who were killed by a drunk driver, and her best friend, the writer George Hodgman, who died by suicide. 'I still don't know who I'm grieving for at any given time,' she says. In the aftermath of these deaths she started to write Shred Sisters, partly inspired by the online workouts – shredding – she and her two sisters did during Covid to take care of each other, and as 'a way of working through all of that grief'. She is already writing another novel, and for as long as there is material in the diaries, and there is TikTok, she will continue to share them. 'It's all about trying to connect and communicate,' she says. 'There's a constant stream of comments from kids in their 20s who identify with my struggles. That's really what keeps me going. I feel this connection to these kids … I try to say, I felt the same. Hang in. Some heart emojis. Just a little something to say, 'You're recognised.'' Shred Sisters is out now, published by Verve Books. To support the Guardian, order a copy from the Guardian bookshop. Delivery fees may apply.
