Tom Cruise Attends Band's Concert Years After They Threw Out Devastating Insults
Tom Cruise seems to be on good terms with a band that once called the actor a 'bastard' and insulted his entire filmography. The 'Top Gun' star was pictured at an Oasis concert over the weekend, nearly 20 years after brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher went off on the movie star in a 2007 documentary. 'He's a little fucker, and he's not been in one good film in his entire career,' Noel said in the documentary, called 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down.' Liam added, 'I hate Tom Cruise. Bastard.' But all seemed fine between the three now, as Cruise was all smiles at the reunion concert in a picture shared on social media. Cruise attended the concert with his rumored new love interest, fellow actor Ana de Armas. Goldie posted this picture on Instagram with Tom Cruise at Oasis' gig in Wembley yesterday. — Latest Oasis News (@scyhodotcom) July 26, 2025 The Gallaghers have famously feuded with nearly everyone ― including each other. The brothers disbanded in 2009 after a massive blow-up, and publicly insulted each other for years afterwards. Liam Gallagher was once asked by LA Weekly if he would reunite with his brother for an Oasis tour, and he gave a blistering answer in return. 'I'd rather eat my own shit than be in a band with him again,' the musician told the outlet in 2011. 'He's a miserable little fuck, if you know what I mean. But if the fans want it, though, I'd do it.' Fifteen years after breaking up, the brothers finally announced they'd made up and were going on tour together. 'The guns have fallen silent,' Oasis said in their announcement. 'The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.' Related...

Live Forever: An Oasis Superfan Goes All-In on Noel, Liam, Britpop, Nostalgia, and the Almighty Reunion Tour
First, a confession: I'm kind of scared of Oasis fans. There, I've said it. I—along with, apparently, Dua Lipa, Alexa Chung, Tom Cruise, and 90,000 others—was on my way to Wembley Stadium for the triumphant return of my favorite band, a date I'd had circled on my calendar since August 31, 2024, after my Oasis friends and I spent a sleepless night as keyboard jockeys trying and failing to get tickets ('I'm 11,361st in the queue!'), only to find out the next day that a mysterious friend in the UK had bought a pair for me as a gift. I've seen virtually every American tour that Oasis ever did, sometimes traveling to multiple cities; I've interviewed Noel twice and Liam three times over three decades; I'm close enough to the band to have texted Liam's girlfriend and manager, Debbie, whom I've also met, back in August, when their long-dreamed-of reunion tour was finally announced, to ask about an interview with Liam (but, alas, not close enough to get that interview—neither Liam nor Noel are chatting much about being back together again). When my children were very young, I lay them down in bed only after whispering 'live forever' in their ears. I mean, a friend of mine gave birth to Liam's child and, after a paternity test, sued him over child-support payments, yet I've seen more of Liam than I have of her since then. I don't really think my support of the band could ever be questioned. But those fans. And by that, what I really mean is English fans. There's some small baggage here: While I'd never seen Oasis perform outside of the States, I was, technically, at their final gig at Wembley Stadium, on July 12, 2009. I was living in New York and had accepted a somewhat scurrilous assignment to cover the launch of the new Jaguar XJ at the Saatchi Gallery in London, knowing that Oasis was playing Wembley that night. After flying over and then making sure that any relevant parties at the launch saw my face, I snuck out of the Jaguar party early and hopped a black cab to Wembley, where Oasis management had a ticket waiting for me at will-call. I knew I'd miss much of the concert just because of bad timing, but I didn't care: The notion of seeing them in their native habitat, even for a handful of songs, was the Holy Grail. Finally arriving at Wembley, I found the surrounding area eerily quiet and empty; everyone, of course, was inside. I sprinted the quarter-mile or so from taxi dropoff to will-call, finally arriving there heaving, doubled-over—and to find the ticket office shuttered. Frantic calls to Oasis management inside the stadium (they could barely hear me) did nothing to alleviate the problem, and so I spent the remainder of the gig on the terrace outside the stadium walls, hearing only a muffled approximation of what was going on within. At first, when I saw various people leaving early (drunk, disorderly), I had the brilliant (idiotic) idea to try to sneak in behind them. When I was stopped by the same security guard three times, I ceased this nonsense forthwith and spent the remainder of my night at Wembley sitting on a concrete bench, cursing my fate, with what I most enjoyed contented least. I was 43 years old—a supposed adult—on the verge of tears because I was missing my favorite band.
