Liam Gallagher mocks 'snidey' Coldplay kiss-cam after Andy Byron scandal
Liam Gallagher has made a dig at Coldplay after a moment from one of their concerts went viral on social media. Last week, the group, fronted by Chris Martin, found themselves at the centre of a social media storm after Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron, was caught with his hands around his HR Chief, Kristin Cabot, on a kiss cam, causing them both to instantly squirm.
On Saturday, Andy resigned from his role at the tech firm, having initially been placed on leave from the company – a decision which was made by the board. The clip hasn't gone unnoticed by Liam though, who referenced it during Oasis ' final show as part of their Heaton Park residency over the weekend.
"Do we have any lovebirds in the house?" Liam asked the sold-out crowd of 80,000 people on Sunday. The Manchester legend went on to say: "Don't worry, we ain't got any of that Coldplay snidey f***ing camera sh*t. Doesn't matter to us who you're f***ing mingling with, or tingly with, f*****ing, none of our f***ing business."

A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time.
This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show!
Liam went on to add: "This one's for the love birds, anyway," before belting out Slide Away. In the Coldplay clip, the kiss-cam pointed to Byron and Cabot, leaving them both extremely embarrassed.
Chris was left amused as he commented: "Oh, look at these two - either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." In a statement shared over the weekend, Astronomer said: "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.
"Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We're continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems."
Coldplay, however, were not the only people to be mentioned during the final show at Heaton Park. Older sibling Noel, used his solo section to take aim at the Royal Family. During the opening night of their Manchester shows, he dedicated the track Half The World Away to the late Caroline Aherne, famed for playing Denise in The Royle Family, which the song is also the soundtrack to.
But on Sunday, when he started playing the track, he said: "This one, for the Royal Family," which the audience appeared to lap up as they let out loud cheers. "Not that f***ing Royal Family! The real Royle Family," he added, in a clip which is being shared on TikTok, as the crowd let out a louder cheer, before he started performing the moving track.
Following the five sold-out shows in Manchester and the two opening gigs in Cardiff, Oasis are now preparing to headline Wembley Stadium. They'll play a staggering seven nights at the home of England football after the initial five shows sold-out almost instantly.
Oasis last played at Wembley Stadium on July 12, 2009, as part of their Dig Out Your Soul Tour. It became one of their final performances before they split in Paris later in the year. The band have a varied history with the venue, with Noel previously describing a 2000 gig as one of their 'worst ever.' "That was the low point in Oasis," he said. "It was a horrible two-and-a-half hours on stage. Liam can hang his head in shame. It was dreadful," he added.

Liam and Noel Gallagher paid homage to the late Ozzy Osbourne at night one of Oasis gigs at London's Wembley Stadium on Friday. The music legend, nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, died on Tuesday at the age of 76 just weeks after he took to the stage for his final show with Black Sabbath, with his family confirming the devastating news. The Gallagher brothers respectfully honoured the legendary rock star by singing Rock 'N' Roll Star in front of a huge image of Ozzy. In videos shared across social media of the tribute, Liam said: 'Liam said: 'I want to dedicate this next one to Ozzy Osbourne, Rock 'N' Roll Star'. MailOnline revealed that an air ambulance was called to Ozzy's grand country home as paramedics battled to save his life for two hours. Friends told the Mail's Alison Boshoff that his heartbroken wife Sharon may now bury Ozzy in the gardens of the 350-acre estate in an intimate family funeral, as she is 'too frail' to go through a larger, public service, leaving friends 'terrified' for her. A slew of famous faces descended upon the city to watch Noel and Liam make their iconic return to London to play their first gig in over 16 years. After a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, the Gallagher brothers took to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium. Comedian Rob Beckett and David Walliams were among the star-sudded arrivals eagerly waiting to get into the stadium. Rob got in the spirit wearing his Oasis merch, while Goldie and his wife Mika Price wore their casual outfits. Jeremy Kyle and his wife Vicky Burton were also in attendance as they enjoyed a romantic date night at the concert. Fans pitched up at the venue 12 hours before the start having paid at least £151 per ticket - but some have paid £564 or more for the best seats. The band announced their highly anticipated reunion tour in August last year, after Noel quit in 2009 after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. They returned to perform at Wembley for the first time since July 12, 2009, when they performed during their Dig Out Your Soul tour.

Oasis dedicate song to Ozzy Osbourne as they begin series of gigs in London
Liam Gallagher told tens of thousands of fans of his pride as the band graced the stage at Wembley Stadium for the first time in more than a decade. Just three songs into their much-anticipated appearance, he declared the crowd was 'f****** beautiful', having bowed to the sea of raised arms before him. Liam and brother Noel played with their band for the first of seven nights at the stadium on Friday – with five shows over the next week and two more scheduled in September. It was the first time they had appeared together onstage at the London venue since July 12 2009, when they performed during their Dig Out Your Soul tour. Towards the end of the gig, they paid tribute to Osbourne. Lead singer Liam said: 'I wanna dedicate this one to Ozzy Osbourne, rock 'n' roll star.' The Black Sabbath star's death at the age of 76 was announced earlier this week. Oasis superfans in bucket hats and branded T-shirts had packed the Tube en route to the gig from earlier in the day, with international accents denoting the band's worldwide popularity. As with previous gigs Liam and Noel walked onstage hand in hand, opened with Hello and proceeded to belt out many of their classics including Some Might Say and Morning Glory. The packed-out stadium was in full voice throughout and at one point Liam threw a tambourine into the jubilant crowd, while later positioning one on top of his head. Despite pledging to concentrate on his vocals rather than talking – telling those gathered 'every time I open my mouth at these gigs I seem to get myself into a lot of trouble so I'm just going to do the singing' – Liam later engaged in some light football banter. The well-known Manchester City fan appeared to poke fun at Arsenal fans in the crowd, joking about their position in the Premier league. Phone camera torches lit up the stadium as darkness fell and crowd-pleasers Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova closed the gig. At various points Noel thanked the crowd, with Liam telling them they had been 'amazing', ahead of fireworks erupting into the London sky. Friday's show – the eighth of the tour – followed a five-night run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park and the two opening shows in Cardiff earlier this month. Following the first part of their Wembley stint, the band will head up north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium followed by Dublin's Croke Park. The group will head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America later in the year. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August of last year – 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009 which saw Noel quit following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. While fans were excited at the Britpop band's reunion, many were left outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing.
