Noel Gallagher's ex Meg Mathews explains why she left Oasis' comeback gig early

Noel Gallagher's ex Meg Mathews explains why she left Oasis' comeback gig early

Metro7 days ago
Noel Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Mathews has set the record straight after she was spotted leaving Oasis' triumphant comeback gig early.
The Manchester, fronted by Noel and his brother Liam, sensationally returned to the stage after 16 years over the weekend with a sold-out show in Cardiff.
In front of 75,000 people, the Some Might Say hitmakers played two dozen of their greatest hits collection and have received rave reviews from those attending.
There were several famous faces at the Principality Stadium, with the likes of Vernon Kay, Danny Dyer, and Rob Brydon all in the crowd to witness the Gallaghers' return.
Among those big names in the crowd was Meg Mathews, Noel's ex-wife and mum to his daughter Anaïs – the pair were married between 1997 and 2001.
However, fans spotted Meg leaving the show before the end – the 90s music manager was apparently seen heading for the exit midway through the encore performance of Wonderwall. https://www.instagram.com/p/DLt0UTgoiKq/?hl=en
Despite Noel's claims to the contrary, it's been frequently speculated in the past that Wonderwall was written for Meg before the couple were married in 1997.
Speculation online and in the media over the weekend associated the two once more, so Meg took to Instagram after the show to quash any rumours.
'Five stars, loved every minute. Thank you Oasis – you were brilliant. Great to see all the old faces. It was worth the countdown,' she opened with a glowing review.
She added that she 'left before the encore, as I have left many a stadium at the end and it's carnage'.
Meg then revealed that she could still hear the strains of Wonderwall emanating from the stadium as she reached her car, and asked, 'Happy now?'
Noel and Meg met in 1994 and lived together in the Belsize Park area of London in the mid-90s, eventually tying the knot on the Las Vegas Strip in 1997. https://www.instagram.com/p/DLtPrKxIYlk/?hl=en-gb
Daughter Anaïs was born in January 2000, just nine months before her parents separated, with their divorce finalised in the early weeks of 2001 after three-and-a-half years of marriage.
10 years later, Noel married Sara McDonald, with the couple eventually divorcing in September 2023 – a year before Oasis announced their comeback.
25-year-old Anaïs looked to have had the time of her life watching her dad and uncle perform on stage together for the first time since 2009.
In an Instagram post of her own, she uploaded a snap of her enjoying the Cardiff concert while wearing an Oasis-branded football shirt and holding a pint of beer aloft.
She remarked in the caption that it was 'good to be back,' referencing the lyrics from Hello, the opening track from (What's the Story) Morning Glory? that was the chosen opener for the Live 25 tour. More Trending
Almost everyone in attendance at the comeback gig agreed that the performance from Oasis was everything they'd been hoping for and expecting.
'It's the best they've sounded since 1995. No vocal issues, wall of sound. If you're seeing them in the future, you're in for a treat! Cast and Richard Ashcroft on top form also,' Reddit user puzzled_background wrote.
'It was unbelievable,' accomplished_unit853 shared, while MK674 said 'Was up in the seats but was incredible. Everything I hoped it would be.'
The tour continues on July 11, with the first of a string of five shows at Manchester's Heaton Park – which is less than 10 miles from Burnage, where Oasis grew up.

Clarkson's Farm star forced to call 999 during heatwave over fire risk

Clarkson's Farm star forced to call 999 during heatwave over fire risk Kaleb Cooper, who has become famous since appearing on the Amazon Prime show alongside Jeremy Clarkson, took to social media to share the warning Kaleb Cooper, a familiar face from Clarkson's Farm, has criticised individuals for releasing Chinese lanterns into the Cotswolds countryside amid a heatwave. The farming contractor urgently contacted emergency services yesterday upon spotting the lanterns, which are known to pose a significant wildfire risk according to fire services. ‌ The Oxfordshire native and breakout star of the show with Jeremy Clarkson took to social media on Saturday (July 12) to voice his concerns. ‌ In an Instagram post titled "what is going on in the world" Kaleb shared a video message. Although the video mainly showed a shadowy figure, it included Kaleb speaking directly to the camera, expressing his disbelief: "I can't quite believe what I'm seeing at the moment." He continued, revealing his immediate action: "I've just called this in to 999 but someone has felt the need to light two Chinese lanterns in and around the Chipping Norton area.

I'm looking at both of them as we speak right now." Kaleb then questioned the rationale behind such actions during dangerous weather conditions: "But what goes through someone's mind when they decide to light two Chinese lanterns in the middle of a heatwave. ‌ "We've hardly had any rain since March. Jesus, honestly. What's going on with the world," reports Gloucestershire Live. His followers quickly echoed his sentiments in the comments section.

Another supporter agreed with Kaleb's warning: "Well said Kaleb, this could quite easily start a wild fire." A third individual expressed concern saying: "Some people really don't have a clue. The farmer's field next to mine is that dry I can literally put my whole hand down the cracks of the soil." ‌ Meanwhile, another added their voice to the chorus of concerns: "They should never do this for any celebration. They let some of these off for a wedding near me. They set fire to someone's house and barn when they landed. Plus livestock can ingest them when they land. It's like balloon releases. It's littering, pure and simple. Should be banned." Kaleb was praised by his followers for his actions (Image:) On its website, Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service offers advice about sky lanterns, describing them: "Sky lanterns are a beautiful sight - but the potential damage they can cause is significant. ‌ "They use the heat of a naked flame to float. They're not only a fire hazard but also a danger to livestock, agriculture, camping activities, thatched properties and hazardous material sites. "Whilst ignition and launch are mostly in the control of the user, the actual flight path and end destination are not. There's no guarantee the fuel cell will be completely out and cooled when the lantern lands, so any contact with a flammable surface could start a fire. "There's evidence of them causing fires, wasting police time, being mistaken for distress flares, misleading aircraft and killing livestock."
