Liam and Noel Gallagher's brother Paul axed from Oasis afterparty after rape charges
Paul Gallagher will no longer perform an Oasis afterparty DJ set in Dublin ahead of his court appearance this month.
The older brother of Liam and Noel Gallagher was due to appear at The Grand Social this weekend to coincide with the Oasis reunion tour's Dublin performances.
Police said in July that Paul Gallagher, 59, who lives in East Finchley in north London, had been charged with rape, coercive and controlling behaviour, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday August 27. A spokeswoman for The Grand Social venue confirmed to the PA news agency that Paul Gallagher 'will no longer be DJing at our Oasis afterparty'.
'Mani from The Stone Roses will DJ on Saturday night and Alan McGee will DJ on Sunday,' she said. The promoters of the event, Up Close and Personal Promotions, have been contacted for comment.
Liam and Noel Gallagher announced last August that they would perform together for the first time since Oasis's dramatic split in 2009.
The Oasis Live '25 tour kicked off in Cardiff's Principality Stadium in July, before moving on to Manchester, London and Edinburgh.
The band have two sold-out performances in Dublin's Croke Park on Saturday August 16 and Sunday August 17.

Thirsty Mr Bonehead goes to Oxford, but where's Rebus?
Oasis aficionados will be aware that Liam and Noel are not the only members of the band; there's another bloke who goes by the colourful moniker 'Bonehead'. With such a name, you would assume he isn't an especially erudite fellow, though you'd be wrong. For while in Edinburgh, Mr. Bonehead popped into that most literary of saloons, the Oxford Bar, home-from-home of crime scribe Ian Rankin. Alas, Rankin wasn't there to greet him. The Inspector Rebus creator says: 'So by all accounts if I'd spent my free afternoon at the Oxford Bar, rather than the flicks, I'd probably have bumped into a thirsty Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs. Nice that he found my oasis though…' Hard to swallow Oasis may have skipped Glasgow, but Spiderman has been all over the joint, like acne on a teen forehead. It's almost impossible to dodge the New York superhero, who's been filming his next blockbuster in the city. Andy Cornfield was in a newsagents near Central Station and asked the salesperson if Spidey had been in. 'Oh aye,' replied the till jockey. 'He bought a macaroon.' 'You're kidding me on,' said Andy. 'How d'you guess?' asked the newsagent. 'Well,' said Andy, 'Spidey needs to squeeze into his snug spider-suit every morning. That'll never happen if he stuffs his face with macaroon.' Wheely frustrating Because the arachnid fellow has been filming in Glasgow, the traffic was all snarled up. Linda Mumford and her husband attempted to reach the city centre by car, which proved a frustratingly ponderous pursuit. Grimacing behind the steering wheel, Linda's hubby snarled: 'This traffic jam is slower than evolution.' Nappy noise machine Grumpy hubbies, continued. Jenny McLeod was on a bus with her chap when a nearby baby started yawling. 'That's the problem with babies,' winced hubby, 'they're just bagpipes in nappies.' Not awash with dosh Financially flummoxed Don Murphy says: 'I don't understand why the bank is upset I can't repay my loan. Surely they guessed I had no cash when I asked to borrow some…' Pop your clogs A morbid though amusing thought from Steve Munro: 'Before I die I'll eat an entire pack of un-popped popcorn. Should make the cremation a bit more interesting…'

Alex James' Big Feastival set to revive Britpop classics
Thirty years after the famous Oasis-Blur chart battle at the height of the Britpop era, Blur bassist Alex James is preparing to relive the summer of 1995 at his annual Big Feastival, which combines live music with food attractions, is due to take place at James' Cotswolds farm near Kingham, Oxfordshire, from 22 to 24 musician and cheesemaker will lead a Britpop classical set, with a live band alongside a full orchestra, on the Sunday James said staging the festival over the past 14 years has been "exhilarating". This summer marks three decades since 90s music heavyweights Blur and Oasis went head to head for number one with Country House and Roll with It respectively. James is promising the music of Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Supergrass, Travis and other Britpop bands will get the "full orchestra treatment" as a climax to this year's Oasis on their reunion tour, the classical Britpop set, with contributions from members of Reef and Travis, is aptly timed."It's going to be a kind of gang show. Those songs lend themselves really well to orchestration and a lot of them have brass sections and string sections - so that's going to be a hoot."Speaking a week before the farm gates open for this year's event, James has reflected on how going from a festival performer to an organiser during the past 14 years has been a "white-knuckle ride"."But I really have never enjoyed anything so much - its been exhilarating," he added."The whole family, absolutely, working our socks off all year round to bring this kind of crazy thing to life. "So the feeling when everybody's here, arms in the air, singing along, crying their eyes out - it's all worthwhile."It is a busy summer in the Cotswolds. The celebrities arriving for Big Feastival, come after the usually quiet village of Charbury was the holiday destination of US vice president JS chat show host Ellen DeGeneres, also moved to the area - saying she fled to Oxfordshire countryside to escape President Donald Trump."It's like, who's gonna, who's gonna pitch up next? I mean, there's cavalcades and choppers in gridlock over Chipping Norton this week," James reflects. James and his wife Claire bought the 200-acre farm 22 years ago while on their described it as "the last wreck in the neighbourhood" adding "the farm did really needed a lot of investment and love".Along with his neighbour Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm, James has played a part in putting the area's farming community on the map."I think people now are really interested in food and and farming."I don't think there's anywhere as pretty in the world. The minute I arrived here I didn't really want to leave. We've made it our home and I'm very proud to be part of a wonderful community."It's incredible this part of the world is now a kind of global centre of food excellence."Also on the bill for this year's Big Feastival are I'm like a Bird singer Furtado who will headline the event on Friday, with Faithless, known for dance classics Insomnia and God Is A DJ, taking the top slot on The Wombats and Sophie Ellis-Bextor will also feature as special guests.

Kate Cassidy shares she wears Liam Payne's clothes to bed in emotional grief update
Liam Payne's girlfriend took to social media to share how she is coping with the loss of the former One Direction star as she urged people not to judge how others grieve Kate Cassidy got emotional as she opened up to her followers online while talking about grief. Kate has been open about her struggles since the death of boyfriend Liam Payne last October. The former One Direction star tragically plunged to his death in a hotel in Buenos Aires. He had been in the country with Kate just days before his death, but Kate had headed back to the US when the tragedy occurred. Now, as she continues to try to come to terms with his passing, Kate shared a candid Instagram upload to try to help others deal with grief. She revealed she is often asked on the social media platform about Liam's death and how she copes with his loss. And she decided to answer a number of the queries, getting emotional when she mentioned the singer's name. She began by saying she was hoping to help others deal with their grief by sharing her thoughts. She said grief feels like "a world that you wake up in and it doesn't make any sense anymore, especially when you lose somebody so suddenly and unexpectedly you almost have such a hard time forgiving the world for ripping that person away from you." She went on to say she sometimes feels "numb," while other times it can be emotional. And she admitted she feels as though her personal grief will last a "lifetime". "Grief does not come with an expiration date," she added. "It's not something you learn to get over, it's something you learn to carry with". Responding to a question regarding grieving in the right way, Kate said: "This question resonates with me a lot because there is no handbook or no guidelines to grief. Everybody deals with it a different way." She opened up on her own daily changes, admitting she often feels like different ways can help her. That includes "being in sweats" or "dressing up". Kate went on to urge people not to judge those who grieve differently. And she admitted she copes in a number of ways, including by "wearing my loved ones' clothes to bed". She also said reading old letters and notes can help her. "It makes me feel so much more attached to him. Reading something in somebody's handwriting makes you hear their voice in your head while you're reading it so that helps me a lot. "And looking through old photos and videos. It doesn't always have to be sad. Grief is a reminder that you were able to experience love." As she tried to continue, Kate clearly got teary-eyed as she stuttered: "And I'm so lucky to have experienced that with um, Liam." Liam and Kate met in a scenario straight out of a rom-com, when the then-ordinary waitress served the megastar at a bar in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2022. For Liam, the attraction was immediate, and he asked for her number straight away. She told fans of their sweet love story as she previously shared a TikTok of the moment. And Liam told his fans he "never felt a love like I do for Katelyn," adding: "We make each other better people."
