Noel Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Mathews shares poignant message ahead of Oasis Wembley show
Meg Mathews is the latest celebrity to join the wave of excitement sweeping through London as Oasis prepares for a historic night at Wembley Stadium.
Taking to Instagram, the former wife of Noel Gallagher and mother to their daughter Anaïs, revealed she was heading to the sold-out show, marking the band's return to the iconic venue for the first time in over 16 years.
Meg, 57, showed off her outfit for the event as she kept things casual with a laid-back look consisting of a red and white Adidas bomber, a crisp white t-shirt, jeans, and layers of gold jewellery.

However, her post wasn't simply about fashion as Meg proved that the special night ahead had clearly stirred up some memories for her. Reflecting on the band's earlier days, she shared a nostalgic tribute to a gig that took place when her daughter Anaïs was just an infant.
'Reflecting on 25 years ago when @Oasis rocked the stadium with 70,000 fans, and Franny fru fru, Pippy la la, Rose & Ra Ra, @lexyroche made it right to the front barrier don't know how we did it,' Meg wrote.
'Now gearing up for tonight's show with 90,000 attendees. Time flies, memories remain. Anaïs only 7 months old then to watching her now so proud of her dad, a full circle that was me just 2 years older than nai nai running around.
"Tonight will be a celebration of family and friends, a moment to cherish. Seated this time, but the excitement remains just as strong. Here's to another 25 years of music and memories.'
Anaïs, now 25, gave her own subtle nod to the occasion by posting a snap of a large Oasis Live advert lighting up the screens at Piccadilly Circus, hinting that she too would be in attendance.
Wembley is bracing for chaos as fans flock to the stadium for what promises to be a milestone moment in the band's history.
The show follows a run of triumphant hometown gigs in Manchester, and the London dates were met with feverish anticipation. Tickets sold out quickly, with some fans shelling out upwards of £564 for prime seats.
The Gallagher brothers' return to the capital comes after a long hiatus; Noel left the band in 2009 after an explosive backstage argument at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
The group's reunion, announced last August, marks a full-circle moment for fans and the band alike.
The night's lineup features Cast at 6pm, followed by Richard Ashcroft at 7pm. Oasis will take the stage at 8:15 for a two-hour set.
Their Oasis Live '25 tour kicked off in Cardiff to rave reviews, and will continue through Edinburgh, Dublin, and international stops across Asia, the Americas, and beyond.
viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.

Katy Perry springs into action after little girl collapses on stage
Katy Perry paused her concert mid-performance as a 12-year-old girl collapsed on stage, prompting her to rush into action. While performing in her Lifetimes Tour in Detroit, Michigan on Sunday night (August 3), the Roar singer brought some young fans up to perform with her. She hand-picked four audience members, two of which came from the very top corner of the arena, and took some time to make it to the stage. 'Did you ever think in a million years you'd be on stage?' Katy, 40, asked the girls, who introduced themselves as Paige and McKenna, as they gave her a big hug. They stood with the band ready for a rendition of 2010 hit The One That Got Away, then in a dramatic turn, McKenna collapsed. Katy immediately dropped to her knees to check on her, calling for help as staff members rushed on stage and the lights were dimmed. In videos posted on social media, Katy could be seen staying by the youngster's side as medics assessed her. It's unclear if she was conscious, but thankfully, McKenna didn't appear to have hit her head in the fall and was removed on a stretcher. The crowd chanted 'McKenna' before the Woman's World singer led the remaining children in a prayer for her health and continued with the show. 'Dear God, we pray for McKenna, that she will come back fully and brighter and better than ever. Amen,' she said. 'It's so much. Sometimes you're so brave and you can get on stage, and it's overwhelming. I understand that feeling.' While singing Roar later in the show — perched on a flying butterfly — Katy shared that McKenna was 'doing great' and pointed to the spot she had fallen. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Katy herself had a terrifying moment on stage, or rather above it, when on said butterfly as it came loose one show and dropped slightly. More Trending She paused singing and regained her composure before continuing with the set as planned (and getting off that thing as fast as possible). However, it's not been all bad news for the Dark Horse hitmaker as a new romance appeared to blossom after her split from Orlando Bloom. Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was seen at her gig in Montreal, days after the two were filmed dining together at a high-end local restaurant. Meanwhile, her actor ex decided to brush off the personal drama and headed to an Oasis gig, singing his heart out. Got a story?

Much-loved Instagram feature is no longer available to millions after overnight
Meta has removed a popular function from Instagram for millions of users. Instagram Live was introduced in 2016, allowing anyone to broadcast an hour-long video stream to their followers or a room of three guests. But Meta, which also owns Facebook and WhatsApp, quietly updated its rules last month to restrict who can go live. Instagram's Help Center states: 'Only Instagram users who have a public account with 1,000 followers or more will be able to start a Live broadcast.' Now, users who don't have public accounts and have fewer than 1,000 followers will be greeted by a pop-up when they try to go live. 'Your account is no longer eligible to go Live,' it says. Around one in four Instagram users have fewer than 1,000 followers. With some 2billion monthly users, this amounts to about 250million people. Social media experts have criticised the move, saying that the shift will likely impact smaller content creators, aspiring influencers and regular people who use the feature to chat with close friends. Media consultant Chad Teixeira told Metro: 'For smaller creators and aspiring influencers, it's a bit of a bittersweet change. 'Live was a fun, casual way to connect without overthinking, perfect for showing personality and building those first loyal followers. 'Now, it's all about hitting that magic 1,000 before you can beam yourself out in real time. Think of it as Instagram nudging you to focus on Reels, Stories, and Collabs first, then unlocking Live later. 'It's not the end of the road for breakout stars, just a shift in the journey. Creators can still grow by leaning into short, snackable content, jumping into collaborations, and building community in DMs and comments.' One said on X: 'Can't go live cause I don't have 1,000 followers, b***h, I don't even like 1,000 people.' Becky added: 'Can't do live videos on Instagram anymore without 1,000 followers, what the actual f**k, that's so unfair, I only have 118 followers.' A user who said they often do live streams of themselves playing games said their most recent broadcast was 'prob my last'. 'I enjoyed just popping in once in a while and not feeling the pressure other apps force on you,' they added. The social network did not give a reason for the change when approached by TechCrunch, other than to 'improve the overall Live consumption experience'. Teixeira said Meta may have to 'reduce spam and align with other platforms' thresholds'. More Trending The rule brings Instagram's live feature more in line with TikTok's as the short-form video app also requires users to have 1,000 followers or more. YouTube, meanwhile, only asks channels to have 50 subscribers or more to go live. Meta has been approached for comment.

"I jumped the gun and put a statement without even reading between the lines. "Chet always denied the allegation and later down the line cleared his name. "Putting a statement out there was a hasty decision on my behalf, because the evidence I had was nil and void and led to me accusing Chet of something he actually didn't do. "I don't know why I let these trolls get to me and try and ruin my relationship. "Chet an I are working hard to get back on track for the sake of us as a couple and out family, and this is the last time I will speak on this matter." Chet and Helen got back together on series four of Ex On The Beach, which aired in 2016.
