He even has an Oasis-themed bedroom and constantly listens to the band on his mum, Lisa's, Spotify account.

Liam kicked off the first of three massive gigs in the capital city on Friday alongside brother Noel, 58 - ending a 16-year wait for the return of the Be Here Now stars. And Lisa managed to get tickets for Harris to go on Tuesday night, which was the third and final Scottish night of their comeback gigs. She decided to surprise him on the morning of the show, and young Harris was overcome with excitement. I got tickets at the weekend and decided to surprise him on the day. We drove down from Golspie Lisa Mackay Lisa told The Scottish Sun: "Last year, when the tickets went on sale, Harris got up early and set up his phone to try and help me and his dad get tickets. "He spent the whole day in the queue trying to get us tickets, and we had no luck! Thankfully, my friend got Heaton Park tickets, and we got two. "From then on, he just got more and more into Oasis - he dressed as Liam for Halloween and sang Wonderwall in every house he went to. Much to the annoyance of all his pals. "At Christmas, when Spotify unwrapped came out, it came up that I was in the top 0.5 per cent of listeners. Joyous moment Scots schoolgirl dances to favourite Oasis song outside packed Murrayfield gig "He uses my account, and I knew then he was a huge fan.

"He was born with a condition which made him unable to breathe for himself when he was born, and he was in hospital for the first six months of his life. "He needed an operation at two to close a cleft palate, so it was a tough start for him. "Music has always been in bones. "His first favourite band was The Beatles, and we took him to some tribute shows of them and Creedence Clearwater Revival when he was as young as five." 5 Harris said going to the sell-out gig on Tuesday was the 'best night of my life' Credit: SUPPLIED

Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay looks unrecognisable in old photo before famous hair cut
Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay went viral overnight for his Lego Style haircut and turkey teeth look but he once had a very different appearance. Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay looks unrecognisable in an unearthed snap of the viral raver that reveals exactly what he looked like before his distinctive transformation. The 26-year-old became an internet sensation overnight thanks to his signature 'Lego' haircut. His 'turkey teeth' and oversized shades also complete his Ibiza look but his appearance before all of this has now been uncovered. In an old snap, baby-faced Jack is seen enjoying a pint with his pals but, even then, it's not too difficult to spot which one he is. Jack, who went viral for his 'Ibiza bob' while throwing shapes on the Spanish party island, previously sported a short, back and sides haircut which is miles away from the medium skin fade that has become synonymous with the viral star. The Ibiza Final Boss found fame overnight after a video of him dancing brought it over 26M views on TikTok. It's not known when the old snap of Jack and his mates was taken but the Geordie appears to be in his late teens at the time. In another more recent image, his sculpted facial hair is visible and his barnet is longer on top, but it's still not his final Ibiza Boss form, the Mirror reports. Jack has now used his newfound fame to launch nightclub tours in Ibiza and has even been seen filming a brief video meet up with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue. He also has plans to launch a music career to take his fame to new heights after he was featured on a new dance track released on Spotify this week following his signing with a management team. Jack shot to fame when Zero Six West Ibiza posted footage on TikTok of him dancing at a club in a chain and black tank top holding a drink. The footage sparked hundreds of memes and jokes about his Lego style haircut. Dubbed the 'Ibiza Final Boss, a reference to the last and typically most difficult enemy to face in a video game, Jack now has over 120,000k followers on Instagram and more than 800,000 likes on TikTok. However, it's not all smooth sailing for the new star as there is apparently trouble in paradise when it comes to his love life. His glamorous girlfriend Alisha Cook reportedly dumped him on his first Ibiza trip, just days before he went viral. The Newcastle lad is now said to be fighting to save his relationship with the model and debt collector from Co Durham. Alisha was allegedly so angry with her boyfriend's antics in Ibiza that she broke up with him before videos of his haircut made him go viral. The couple have reportedly worked things out since, but a friend of Jack's warned he was 'skating on thin ice' over his party lifestyle. They told the Daily Mail: "Alisha called it off when Jack went to Ibiza with the lads. They'd been together for almost a year and he was living at her place but things hadn't been right for months. "His car is still on her drive, she threw all his clothes in the back of it. She doesn't want him around anymore. She's had inklings that something was not right for a while. She just wants to wash her hands of him. Alisha is so beautiful. No one is quite sure what she saw in him." However, it appears Alisha had a quick change of heart as she's now publicly declared herself as Jack's girlfriend since he rose to internet stardom. In a series of TikTok videos captioned: "POV: ya boyfriend's now known as Ibiza Final Boss," Alisha is seen cosying up to Jack, including clips of him kissing her cheek and the two of them partying together.
