Patsy Kensit dodges tense Liam Gallagher question with blunt four-word statement
As Oasis prepares to take the stage in Cardiff for their long-awaited Oasis Live '25 reunion tour, Liam Gallagher 's ex-wife Patsy Kensit has made one thing clear; she's not getting involved.
The actress, 57, who was married to Liam from 1997 until their split in 2000, walked the red carpet this week for the West End opening of Fawlty Towers, where Good Morning Britain caught up with her.
With her arm in a sling, Kensit was asked whether she planned to attend any of the reunion shows, which marks the first time Liam and brother Noel have performed together since 2009.
She was quick to set boundaries. 'My 24-year-old son is gonna be there, and gonna have a lovely time, great for him to see all of that,' she shared. 'I'm happy for his dad, I think it's a wonderful thing, but I won't be attending."
When pressed further on how the feuding brothers might hold it together for a full tour, Kensit shut the topic down altogether. 'I think I've said enough now about that. I send only love and light," she said firmly.
Last year, as rumors of a reunion swirled, Kensit posted a message on Instagram, distancing herself from the narrative. 'I will say no more than this I am really happy for Liam and Noel. I'm sure the tour is going to be thrilling and I send nothing but love and light to them both… No more questions it was 25 years ago.'
Her reluctance to revisit the past likely stems from her tumultuous history with the Oasis frontman.
In a previous interview with the Mirror, she opened up about the highs and lows of their relationship. At the time, she said: 'We just clicked on every level. He was protective and loving. When we were together there were fireworks, and a chemistry that lasted to the end."
However, the reality behind the scenes was far less romantic for the actress. 'I cried every day for three and a half years… The first week we were living together he went AWOL. I'm just realising now that isn't normal… I gave the most I'll ever give. I'm gutted it didn't work out.'
As for the band itself, tensions may still be simmering. A source close to the tour revealed that as rehearsals began, they didn't go smoothly as hoped. 'Liam barely even stayed for the first eight songs before leaving the rehearsals early, and Noel continued on his own," a source revealed.
Oasis's long-awaited reunion tour, Oasis Live '25, storms back into stadiums tonight debuting on July 4–5 in Cardiff, then heating up Manchester's Heaton Park with four nights in July.
They will then play London's Wembley for another four dates in late July and early August, before performing at Edinburgh's Murrayfield for three mid-August shows.
Liam and Noel will wrap up the UK & Ireland leg at Dublin's Croke Park across two nights. After that, the brothers take their iconic Britpop anthems worldwide, touching down in arenas across North America, Asia, Australia, and South America through November.

Thousands of Oasis fans queue for last-minute essentials before huge Cardiff show Fans were queuing for merchandise only a few hours before the Gallagher brothers take the stage at the Principality Stadium There was a huge queue for the Oasis store at St David's Shopping Centre in Cardiff (Image: Jonathan Myers ) Thousands of fans have been queuing outside the Oasis store in Cardiff in the lead up to the band's highly anticipated reunion gig.

Oasis competition: Win tickets to see Oasis at Wembley Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.

Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.

Oasis good for GDP? Definitely maybe not
The suggestion that the Oasis gigs will 'inject £940 million into the UK economy' (Will it be rowdier than the rugby? Cardiff gears up for Oasis reunion opening night , 3 July) is the type of thing said about any big events, but I suspect that there is no injection, as it's not 'new' money being created: people chose to spend their pre-existing cash on one thing instead of something else. Certainly as a Cardiff resident I won't feel any financial benefit from the Oasis RennieCardiff It has been alleged that Palestine Action caused £7m of damage to two Voyager planes at RAF Brize Norton. I would like to recommend my new business to the RAF – I would clean their planes of red paint for the bargain price of £5m, thus saving the government £2m. A bargain. Where can I apply?Richard FieldingAbthorpe, Northamptonshire When my son, at 36, said he was about to learn the bagpipes (Letters, 3 July), he was unamused when I asked: 'How will you know when you've done so?'Roy ArnoldTenterden, Kent What's the difference between an onion and a set of bagpipes?

Glastonbury festival's breadth makes it great value for money
Having just volunteered with Oxfam at Glastonbury festival, I've had some insight into the amount of work that goes into installing the vast infrastructure and acres of immersive artwork before a single artist sets foot on one of the dozens of stages. Over four-plus days I had virtually continuous access to a wide range of events, fuelled by my own food and drink (unlike most festivals). The cost per event is extraordinarily good value; my son has paid half the price of a Glasto ticket for one Oasis concert, and he'll have to pay for expensive bar drinks and food. He is a musician working full-time in hospitality to pay his rent, as the commercial music industry does not reward people like him. The problem of accessibility to culture goes way beyond the fields of Worthy Farm (Letters, 2 July).Beth Saunders Sedbergh, Cumbria
