Liam Gallagher admits big regret ahead of Oasis Live 25 tour
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher doesn't look back in anger but he has a few regrets from the past Liam Gallagher has admitted it's a shame Oasis"wasted precious time" apart amid his 15-year estrangement from brother Noel. In July, the legendary Manchester band are reuniting for their first tour in 16 years, dubbed Oasis Live '25, after finally burying the hatchet last year. The Supersonic band have been busy rehearsing the past few days, and frontman Liam admits it's a shame they've missed out on so much because of his vicious feud with Noel, 58, as he hailed their practice sessions "spiritual". A user asked on X: "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times? (sic)" To which, Liam replied: "You know what it's spiritual but I can't help think about all those wasted years, what a waste of PRECIOUS time (sic)." Oasis split following a backstage bust-up between the Gallaghers at Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009. Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events of the decade, with rehearsals now well underway. A new book Live Forever by John Robb details just how bitter the split was at the time. Friends and fans will hope that nothing happens like the row that eventually split the band when Liam and Noel had a full on fight backstage in 2009. One that took more than a decade to move on from. One witness said: 'Liam was goading Noel constantly and then the two snapped.' Another witness remembers: 'There were proper punches and Liam smashed up one of Noel's guitars. Liam was like a man possessed. He was swearing constantly and really angry. Medical staff were called along with security. Now got out as quickly as he could. This was a truly vicious fight - quite horrible.' In his statement confirming he quit the band at the time, Noel wrote: "The level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable." But thankfully the brothers have now made up and it is believed Liam made the first move to patch things up. On X Liam said last year: "I called him but don't tell anyone as I do t wont folk thinking I'm a soft lad and stuffs keep it between me n you cheers x." The reply laced with humour was typical of Liam's responses on social media. Book author Robb is a close friend of Noel Gallagher and has written the programme notes for the upcoming 2025 tour. Writing in his book Live Forever on the reunion, John says: 'The reformation rumours never did end. Every now and then there would be rumblings…Every year they would go from a whisper to a scream. And then silence. Venues would be booked and unbooked. Fans hopes and despaired.' Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

He adds: 'On August 27 the band announced they had reformed and everything went crazy. A world tour was announced where the band were playing bigger stadiums than they had ever played before. Somehow by splitting up and reforming 15 years later they had become the biggest band in the world again.' Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together in public, since the band split nearly two decades ago, on July 4 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Dublin as part of the tour.

I tried the world's best champagne — and it's only £15
When you hear the words 'world's best champagne', you might picture Dom Perignon, which sells for hundreds of pounds a bottle. But it turns out the best in the world doesn't actually come with a hefty price tag and you can get your hands on it for less than £15. The winners of the World Drinks Awards 2025 have been revealed and in the champagne category, it was Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut that took home the gold. Even more surprising? This is Aldi champagne and it costs just £14.95 to buy from the budget retailer. The bubbly drink is crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and has ripe apple, soft red fruit and delicate floral notes. It beat out competition from champagnes that were more than three times the price of it to be crowned the champion. This included G.H. Martel Honoré de Balzac Edition Limitée Brut Champagne, which retails at £49.68 – making it over 70% more expensive. Balzac Honoré de Balzac Rosé Brut came in second place, while the limited edition Brut came in third. Speaking about the win, Julie Ashfield, chief commercial officer at Aldi UK, said: 'To have our £14.95 Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut recognised as the best in the world is proof that exceptional quality doesn't have to come with an eye-watering price tag. It's a proud moment not just for Aldi, but for our customers who can enjoy world-class champagne without breaking the bank.' Metro's specialist food writer, Courtney Pochin, put the world's best champagne to the test, and she was very impressed. 'I love a glass of something bubbly to celebrate a special occasion, but I often find champagne is a bit too dry for my taste buds. 'Clearly, I just hadn't found the right champagne. 'The Veuve Monsigny is dry, but refreshingly light at the same time. I found myself pouring more into my flute before it was even empty – it was so delightfully drinkable. 'Each sip is vibrant, crisp and beautifully bubbly. If I'd been handed a glass of this as part of a blind taste test, I'd have bet all my money that it had a much higher price tag than it does, because it tastes expensive. 'This is by far the best champagne I've ever had.' Those in Manchester who want to grab a bottle of the award-winning wine will soon be able to get their hands on a rather special limited-edition one at Aldi's Bury New Road store. From July 7, the retailer will be lining the shelves in that specific shop with a version of the champagne that's a tribute to Oasis. A Supernova edition of Aldi's Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut will be available to buy, just a stone's throw from where the Oasis story began. Fans outside of Manchester will be ale to enter a prize draw online to be in with a chance of winning a bottle. More Trending Stock is limited for the Supernova edition and once it's gone, it's gone, so you'll have to be quick if you want it. The regular version of the champagne isn't going anywhere though, so don't panic. And if bubbles aren't for you, the retailer recently launched the UK's first bubble-less prosecco. Priced at £5.99 the Still Prosecco proved a hit with Metro's drinks expert, Rob Buckhaven, who said it was 'bone dry and lively with flavours of lime, nectarine and tangerine.' View More » He added: 'Not only is it a brilliant talking point, I'm a huge fan of the flavour, the price and will be stocking up over the summer.' Do you have a story to share?

Motown legend cancels Scottish show weeks after sexual assault allegations emerge
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MUSIC legend Smokey Robinson has dramatically cancelled his only Scottish show less than a month before he was due to appear. The Motown crooner, 85, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his breakthrough album. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 US singer Smokey Robinson has axed his Scottish show Credit: AFP 4 He was due to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his breakthrough Motown album "A Quiet Storm" Credit: Getty 4 Smokey Robinson and wife Frances have both been named in the lawsuit Credit: Getty But in a shock to fans who had booked his gig at the SEC Armadillo on July 3 they received an email on Tuesday saying that the show had been axed. It said: "We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Refunds are available from point of purchase.' The singer's show at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff on July 9 Smokey has also been cancelled. No reason has been given for the gigs being called off – while three other dates of his UK tour, in Lewes on July 4, Birmingham on July 8, and London on July 11, are listed as going ahead. Robinson released "A Quiet Storm" in 1975 which became one of his first ever major successes in the music world. As part of the celebrations, he will now perform three shows for fans in the UK this summer. Robinson is under criminal investigation in Los Angeles over accusations of sexual assault. Robinson is being accused of sexual battery, sexual assault, false imprisonment, gender violence, and creating a hostile work environment in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday. His wife, Frances Robinson, is accused of knowing about the alleged assaults and doing nothing about them, according to court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed last month that it had launched a formal inquiry into the allegations, saying the probe was in the "early stages". US music legend in talks to play Glastonbury for first time 17 years after previous appearance at festival fell through The investigation comes after a lawsuit was filed by four anonymous housekeepers against the singer-songwriter, accusing him sexual battery, false imprisonment, negligence and gender violence. Robinson has denied the allegations. His lawyer has said those behind the accusations are after the musician's money, and he welcomed the police investigation "because exposure to the truth is a powerful thing". "We feel confident that a determination will be made that Mr Robinson did nothing wrong, and that this is a desperate attempt to prejudice public opinion and make even more of a media circus than the Plaintiffs were previously able to create," the attorney, Christopher Frost, said in a statement to the BBC. He argued the police investigation was only opened because the plaintiffs filed a formal report with their allegations and said the claims were "manufactured" and designed to "tarnish the good names" of the musician and his wife, who is also named in the lawsuit and accused of contributing to a hostile work environment. The sheriff's department said in a statement that its Special Victims Bureau was "actively investigating criminal allegations involving William Robinson AKA 'Smokey Robinson.' "The investigation is in the early stages, and we have no further comment." The women filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on 6 May under the pseudonyms Jane Doe 1, 2, 3 and 4. They are seeking at least $50m (£38m) in damages and a jury trial. 4 He had been due to play the SEC Armadillo Credit: Alamy Robinson was Motown's first hitmaker, writing number one records like Mary Wells' My Guy and The Temptations' My Girl. He was both a talent scout for the record label and one of its most prominent recording artists in his own right, known for songs like Tracks of My Tears, Shop Around and Tears of a Clown. He has spots in both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and claims to have credits on more than 4,000 songs.
