Oasis followers are gobsmacked after Liam Gallagher dropped a bombshell that the iconic tune 'Acquiesce' won't feature in their upcoming 'Oasis Live '25 Tour' setlist.
The frontman and lead guitarist Noel are gearing up for a monumental reunion, set to jam together for the first time in over a decade during Tuesday's rehearsals, before commencing their tour on July 4 in Cardiff. Dublin fans will get to see their heroes when the band play Croke Park on August 16 and 17.
In a cheeky exchange with a fan on X, Liam teased: "Yes Rasta D I'm in Tuesday to blow there minds (sic)." Liam also appeared to share some songs the band will be playing at the upcoming reunion gigs, reports Bristol Live.
He assured fans that 'Rock N Roll Star' is definitely "getting played". Yet it seems fan favourite 'Acquiesce' has not made the cut.
One fan asked: "You gonna sing Acquiesce with Noel at the Heaton park gigs for us Liam?" But Liam disappointed them by answering: "That's not on the list, sorry."
Fans were gutted, with reactions like: "You can't do this to us." Another pleaded: "Better get it sorted Liam be a lot of disappointed fans if that don't make the set. Wonderwall can do one."
Still, it pays to remember that taking Liam's words on X should always be taken with a pinch of salt. 'Acquiesce' is a fan favourite which features a rare instance of Noel and Liam sharing lead vocals.
Fans believe the track, which includes the refrain of "we need each other" would be a perfect fit for the group's first shows in 16 years. The legendary band called it quits back in 2009, following a heated row between the Gallaghers at Paris's Rock en Seine festival.
Speaking shortly after the split, Noel said: "People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."
Yet, last year, the Gallagher brothers delighted fans by announcing Oasis' return after a 15-year hiatus. Their announcement on X read: "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."

The star, who grew up in West London, moved to the States after finding success in the American market. She was the first ever live-action On Channel 5's Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild in 2023, she explained how she bought a 400-acre farm in Uruguay after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2012. After a two-year recovery period, where she stayed in a cabin, Rhona said she knew she couldn't go back to her Hollywood lifestyle. In the South American country, she built a home with horse manure, where she lives alone and carries out her passion of rescuing horses and other animals in poor condition. Explaining the loneliness it brings, she said: "It'd be easier if there were someone to share the burden with. "I think it's the thing that a lot of people say they want to be part of this life, but I'm not going to give this up. "There is no backtracking, I have to move forward and have somebody that wants to move forward with this life." But Rhona also spoke about some of the difficulties she has faced, including being threatened by her neighbours. "I basically had to babysit the farm and watch it almost 24/7" she said. "I was so exposed and vulnerable in my first years. "I had people cut fences and let their cows in, intimidating me by coming [on her land] and hunting, it felt like bullying." She added: "It's very unusual for a single girl to move to this part of Campo by herself and with no partner, no husband, that's really strange."

The result is The Arwen Project, a rural retreat-style set-up where kids learn permaculture, organic gardening, land management and even how to connect with nature. She spent up to seven years researching education before launching the venture, saying the current school system was doing more harm than good. "The more I speak to young people and teachers, the more I think the system… is starting to become actively damaging," she wrote in a blog. "A lot of people leave school thinking they're not good enough, not smart, not capable – and that's heartbreaking." In her school, pupils learn outdoors whenever they can, make their own rules and focus on real-world issues that matter to them. During an LGBTQ+ week, the kids were treated to a talk from drag queen Le Gateau Chocolat, who taught them about allyship and the power of knowing when to "pass the mic." "Especially as white privileged people, we need to know when to step back," Charlotte told the New Statesman. 20 Charlotte at her wellness retreat Credit: Really Channel/Koska Productions/Discovery Communications) 20 Charlotte with her husband, Jonathan Powell Credit: Instagram

Noel Edmonds, 76, opens up on TV return with series about his life in New Zealand – & how it compares to Clarkson's Farm
A LARGER than life showbiz veteran documenting his new life on a farm is a hit TV formula for Jeremy Clarkson. Now there is another famous face who is also getting in on the action, Noel Edmonds. 7 Noel Edmonds will be back on TV screens documenting his life in New Zealand - but don't expect it to be like Clarkson's Farm Credit: PA 7 Noel's Kiwi adventure includes running a pub – The Bugger Inn near Nelson, just like Clarkson back in the UK Credit: ITV 7 Noel's House Party inspired Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway – and made Mr Blobby a TV icon Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd However the quirky host insists his new ITV1 show is nothing like Clarkson's Farm — because he's not as funny as the former Top Gear star. Noel exclusively told The Sun: 'When we were filming our show, some people who knew about Clarkson's Farm said to me, 'Oh, is it like Clarkson's Farm?' 'And I said, 'No, it couldn't be more different.' 'First of all, I'm not like Jeremy in many ways, though I wish I were. READ MORE TV NEWS "He's brilliant. 'He can articulate an argument beautifully and deliver a sharp, humorous line like no one else.' Noel, 76, is perhaps doing himself a disservice, as he went on to crack a joke about his years in the showbiz wilderness. His last big gig was on I'm A Celebrity in 2018, when he was Most read in News TV Noel laughed: 'People still ask, 'Noel Edmonds? Didn't he die? Is he still around?' 'Yes, I'm still here — and living life to the full.' Noel Edmonds reunites with 90s sidekick Mr Blobby on Good Morning Britain Noel now lives in New Zealand where he and wife Liz have been based since 2016 after he quit the UK. 'Punishing schedule' For the first time he will be putting his new life in the spotlight in the ITV1 show, Unlike Jeremy, the former Deal Or No Deal host is no newcomer to farming. He's been working in agriculture since the Eighties in Devon, when he was one of the UK's biggest stars. Noel said: 'Over the years I've known Jeremy. 'If you watch a video called Noel's Le Mans Dream, you'll see Jeremy was part of my boys' team, alongside Nick Mason, Gary Rhodes, and others. 'I entered a two-car team in the Le Mans 24-hour race . 'I thoroughly enjoyed that weekend. 'I don't think I saw Jeremy eat any solids. 'He was a regular in the hospitality tents, a great character.' He continues: 'Clarkson's Farm came along, and I think it's brilliant. 'There are three things in particular I admire. 'First, the production values — the way it's made, the narrative structure — it's exceptional. 'Not contrived, but very well-constructed. 'Second, he's highlighted how mad our relationship is with public servants. " 'They are meant to serve the public. 'He's shown how difficult they make things. 'Third, and most importantly, he's shown how hard it is to be a farmer. 'I've been farming since the early Eighties and it's always been tough. "In Devon, the paperwork alone was staggering. 'Constant rules. Constant restrictions. All about control.' Liz and I allowed the cameras into our lives. The filming followed what we did in September, October, November of 2024, right up to Christmas. Noel on his new TV show Noel's series will involve a lot less red tape. But, just like Jeremy, he's also acquired a pub — Noel explains: 'The key difference between our Kiwi Adventure, and Clarkson's Farm is that ours is more of a lifestyle narrative. 'Liz and I allowed the cameras into our lives. 'The filming followed what we did in September, October, November of 2024, right up to Christmas. "It documented our lifestyle - two people deciding to leave the UK and start over in New Zealand. 'And yes, everyone says it: 'Oh, New Zealand, that's a long way away.' And we just say, 'Exactly, that's why we're here.' 'In 2016 we decided to explore our options to move away from the UK and our first holiday was to New Zealand. 'We got a real feel for New Zealand and began to understand the Kiwi way of life. 7 Noel on his new Kiwi Adventure show Credit: PA 7 Making his name as a DJ on Radio 1 in the early Seventies, Noel went on to host kids show Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, with the late Keith Chegwin 'At the same time, Deal Or No Deal was coming to an end — 3,000 shows over ten years. 'It was a punishing schedule. 'This show tells the story of the challenges we've faced, the joys we've discovered, and all the fun we've had. 'I really hope the fun element of our Kiwi Adventure comes through, and maybe it will make people curious about New Zealand.' The series also shows them enjoy some of the country's hot spots, including a helicopter flight above the South Island's glacier and some fun on a boat in the balmy north. But it is not all fun and games and the series will show the brutal side of farming. He said: 'We have a fair amount of land here and we practise what I call ethical farming. 'Some call it regenerative farming, that's the buzzword. 'For me, ethical farming means treating livestock with respect. 'We know why we're farming them and what the final outcome is. 'I don't like that part. "I really don't. 'I'm a hypocrite. 'I'm a coward. 'I don't want to be involved in that final journey. 'But we try to give them the finest feed, structured water, and as much dignity as possible.' Making his name as a DJ on Radio 1 in the early Seventies, he went on to host kids show Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, 'Hippies in yurts' Later he presented Channel 4 gameshow Deal Or No Deal from 2005 to 2016 — which was recommissioned in 2023 with Stephen Mulhern taking over as host. It was thanks to Deal Or No Deal that Noel met Liz, his wife of 17 years, as she worked as a make-up artist on the show. Aside from his It's so beautiful here that I'll walk my land and just stop for an hour, admiring the view and not get any work done. The landscape is sensational. Noel on his New Zealand home Noel and Liz, his third wife, were initially based in Auckland but Noel decided the city was too busy so they moved to the remote Tasman region instead. He laughed: 'It was so busy it began to feel like the UK or Europe. 'I even called it Euro Zealand. 'It's so beautiful here that I'll walk my land and just stop for an hour, admiring the view and not get any work done. 'The landscape is sensational.' However, it's not all peace and tranquillity, and that's mainly down to the extreme weather they experience. He added: 'The weather here has attitude. 'I lived in Devon for 20 years and there you'd get grey days with drizzle drifting in from the Atlantic. But here? 'When it blows, it really blows — trees come down. 'When it rains, it's tropical stair-rodding rain. 'You get landslips. And the sun? 'It'll burn you within ten minutes in peak season. 'Oh, and earthquakes. 'We've had three. 'During the first one, we were sitting outside with a glass of wine, and I noticed the surface of the wine rippling. 'That was a mild one. 'The biggest one really shook the house — the cutlery drawer rattled, and Liz and I each grabbed a dog and ran outside. "No structural damage, thankfully. 'But yes, earthquakes - and a dormant volcano just up the way. 'At least, we hope it's dormant.' Another big factor as to why Noel has settled so well in New Zealand is the people. He said: 'They love a good time, a good laugh and they don't take themselves, or their politicians, too seriously. 'I love that. 'Especially here, in this area, which became a kind of haven for the hippies in the Sixties and Seventies. 'There are still people living in yurts up the valley, and good on them. 'What we found was overwhelming kindness. 'We were living in Matakana during the flu outbreak and, suddenly, our mailbox was full of avocados, chocolates, home-cooked things - little gifts from locals who wanted to look after 'the two Brits up the way'. 'It was heartwarming. 'If a Kiwi invites you to their home, you always say: 'Thanks, what can I bring?' In the UK, you might show up with a bottle or a bunch of flowers from the petrol station. 'Here, it's expected that you contribute.' But if anyone knows how to throw a good house party, it's Noel.
