Orlando Bloom pays tribute to Oasis as he misses reunion tour amid Katy split
Orlando Bloom seemed to be in good spirits despite his relationship with Katy Perry coming to an end. The actor and singer confirmed their split earlier this month as they entered a "new relationship dynamic".
However, despite the breakdown of their coupling, it appears that the actor is still keeping his spirits high. Taking to his Instagram Stories, the star was seen on a boat at sea.
He was singing along to Oasis' song Live Forever as the waves were seen in the background. As he tagged the Britpop band in the upload, Orlando broke from his sing-along to say: "It's gonna be karaoke all night," before he flashed a smile at the camera.
It comes at Noel and Liam Gallagher get ready for the second night of the Manchester leg of their epic reunion tour. The first night saw a star-studded audience join them at Heaton Park, with football stars Jack Grealish and Pep Guardiola in the VIP section.
It remains unknown if Orlando will attend any of the Oasis gigs as he is clearly a fan. What was confirmed, though, was the ending of Orlando and Katy's relationship after nine years.
The decision to call it quits comes six years after the Pirates of The Caribbean actor popped the question. The pair's representatives said: "Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting.
"They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect."
An insider had previously said before the official announcement that they had agreed on an amicable split: "Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable," a source said.
"It's not contentious at the moment. Katy is, of course, upset but is relieved not to have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life."
There were initial hints of trouble on Orlando's Instagram stories on July 2. At the time, he shared a poignant message from Carl Gustav Jung which read: "Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself."
The post came days after he had also quoted Buddha on the platform: "Each day is a new beginning," he posted. "What we do today is what matters most."
Following the couple's engagement, they welcomed their daughter to the world. In 2020, they celebrated the arrival of Daisy Dove. The pair's split also comes as Katy announced her departure from American Idol after a seven-season stint. She is said to have instead shifted focus to her upcoming tunes.

I was at Oasis Heaton Park - if you want the old Gallaghers this isn't for you
If you miss the histrionics of the final Oasis years, the chaos on confusion on stage, this new tour may not be for you. But having now seen it three times in a week, I think there are plenty of signs Noel Gallagher is moulding the band into a sharper sounding unit. And at the heart of it is a consistent vocal performance from brother Liam. On Saturday night at the end of the show the brothers hugged and then Noel pointed over to his brother in a clear show of admiration and to tell the crowd just how much he loved Liam's performance. It was a shocking sight, the total opposite of their old rows on stage. This symbolic show of respect - Liam raises Noel's arm aloft to start the shows too - means they are surely starting to get on better behind the scenes too. Noel is loving working with Liam's voice again. And perhaps he is now relaxing into the gigs a bit more as we saw some extra little guitar ad-libs, with longer intros and outros of songs are on display compared to the Cardiff comeback. To my ears the band's keyboard player Christian Madden has also been turned up on notch on some songs to good effect. And new drummer Joey Waronker has found his feet and the band is sounding tighter. 'What a f**king joy,' Liam said towards the end of the gig as they prepared to sing Wonderwall, and he wasn't wrong. If he keeps his end of the bargain and rests now and can keep his voice on track, Noel can tinker with the sound and the wall of guitars and the gigs will only get better. Would I like more stage interaction? Of course. And some of the lines on stage are now pre-planned which doesn't feel very Oasis. But the Gallaghers have grown up, and like their mature fans who can only manage to jump up and down for the odd song in three these days, this style of set is what they need to make things work. And if Liam protects his vocal chords, little by little Noel is going to make Oasis even better. Saturday night also saw Richard Ashcroft change up his set list in the support slot, bringing in Weeping Willow. Fans who are going to more than one Oasis show, myself included, would love to see Noel do this but I'm not sure it's very likely, he will concentrate on getting this set right, they will want to stick to the ones that worked best in rehearsals. So roll on the next two hour singalong at Heaton Park. And long may the Gallaghers love in continue.

Oasis's photographer opens new exhibition of the band's photos
Noel Gallagher once called Jill Furmanovsky "the best photographer ever".From Oasis's early concerts to the height of their powers, she was granted unprecedented access to chronicle one of rock and roll's most creative yet combustible now the woman dubbed 'Oasis's unofficial official photographer' has a new exhibition of her pictures at the Lucy Bell Gallery in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, which runs until the end of Oasis 1994-2009, it coincides with the ongoing and much-hyped reunion of the Manchester group Furmanovsky admits to "having loved since the start". She said: "The first time I saw them was at the Cambridge Corn Exchange in 1994."I found them very intriguing because there was tremendous excitement at the concert, almost hysteria."Yet when the singer wasn't singing he'd just sit on the drum riser."It was most peculiar and yet the atmosphere was electric, so I was intrigued."Furmanovsky's next assignment was photographing the band as they worked on the video for their single Live Forever."They were respectful to me because I had photographed a lot of their heroes," she said. "I think Noel had an instinct that he needed someone to document what was happening." And from her unique viewpoint Furmanovsky captured the band's highs and lows, including a tension-filled photo shoot in Paris."On the day when we were supposed to meet up and do the shoot Liam couldn't be found in the hotel," she said."It transpired he hadn't gone to bed that night and had been in the bar drinking. "I had to send in an assistant to go and fetch him and he still had a glass of wine in his hand when we went off in the bus. "Noel was not in a good mood at that point."And, while Oasis would play giant concerts at Glastonbury and Knebworth, they eventually split in acrimony in 2009. Last August though, Noel and Liam announced Oasis were getting back together, revealing details of a major UK tour this said: "I'm thrilled, the same as any fan."They've kept their souls and their integrity as artists, and I think that's what people respond to."She added she will be at the band's upcoming Wembley Stadium is more, she will be taking her camera with her.

Liam Gallagher makes a cryptic reference to his now-deleted social media post during Heaton Park show after sparking outrage over racial slur
Liam Gallagher made a cryptic reference to his now-deleted social media post as he spoke on stage during Oasis' second night at Heaton Park on Saturday. The singer, 52, sparked outrage earlier this month when he shared a racial slur to X, which he later apologised for. Famously outspoken and controversial, Liam left many of his Asian fans hurt and offended, after sharing derogatory phrase 'chingchong'. The slur is a derogatory imitation of the Chinese language and is used mock or denigrate people of East Asian descent. Seemingly referring to the incident in front of the sold-out 80,000 strong crowd in Manchester, Liam explained that he had burnt his eyelids. He then added: 'Gotta wear the shades tonight, didn't wear them last night, woke up this morning like a grasshopper? You're allowed to say grasshopper, right?' Liam appeared to tweet the phrase two weeks ago, responding to critics by claiming: 'it's an ancient thought process get on it.' He later responded to one fan warning him he'd be cancelled by saying: 'Whatever'. But he seemed to have learned the error of his ways after deleting the original tweet and taking to X once again to apologise and insist his use of the slur wasn't 'intentional'. Liam wrote: 'Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn't intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. peace and love LG x'. However, the damage was done for many, with some less than impressed by his apology and calling his behaviour 'disappointing'. They took to social media to say: 'My friend once went to Liam Gallagher's Knebworth gig alone, and got assaulted by racists. It was never just a wrong word. It sounds okay to you because you've never been scared by people calling you racist slurs. Grown ups should know it's never right to defend racism'. 'Why are so many white people defending Liam Gallagher and saying he did nothing wrong?? Just because he sang your favourite songs doesn't mean you can excuse blatant racism.' 'Who would have thought in 2025 at the ripe age of 52 Liam Gallagher would still consider casual racism as being edgy.' But he seemed to have learned the error of his ways, after deleting the original tweet and taking to X once again to apologise and insist his use of the slur wasn't 'intentional' Liam and Noel were hand-in-hand as they kicked off the first of their five-night stint at Heaton Park on Friday. Oasis performed in front of a sold-out 80,000 strong crowd in their home city of Manchester after beginning their world tour in Cardiff last week. The shows at Heaton Park - a 600-acre public park in Bury and Manchester - are the only UK shows held outside a stadium, with the others taking place at the Principality Stadium, Wembley and Murrayfield. Oasis opened their set with Hello from their 1995 second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, before playing Acquiesce. Fans were treated to Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Cigarettes and Alcohol, and Supersonic before Noel's acoustic set. Other songs included D'You Know What I Mean, Cast No Shadow, Stand By Me, Whatever and Rock N Roll Star. Oasis ended the night on Champagne Supernova with fireworks being set off from the stage.
