Oasis fan goes viral after spreading ashes at Murrayfield gig
As reported by Edinburgh Live, the fan can be seen opening a small container holding the ashes and spreading them onto the ground in front of him during the Gallaghers' performance of "Don't Look Back In Anger".
The video has since gained more than 620,000 views and 19,000 likes, receiving a mixed reaction from fans.
Several fans shared that they were planning to do a similar thing with their loved one's ashes.
One fan said: "I took some of my brothers ashes he loved oasis had champagne supernova played at his funeral. [heartbreak emoji]"
Another person said: "Im going to the concert in November 16 at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires so this video gave me an idea of what to do with my dad's ashes".

And another fan added: "I'd want someone to to that for me regardless if your trampled or swept up after someone thought of you & knew what the concert would mean to them fitting tribute imo [heart emoji]".
However, some fans disagreed with spreading ashes at the show, as one said: "If it was on grass I'd understand but this don't sit right with me".
And another said: "all to get brushed or washed away [thumbs up emoji]. Would of made sense if it actually went onto the grass, so it got into the soul".
Oasis played three sold-out shows Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12.
An estimated 70,000 people were packed in to hear them play each night.
During the first gig, Liam Gallagher hit out at Edinburgh Council chiefs after they were accused of suggesting the band's fans are "drunk, middle-aged and fat".
The first gig saw three people arrested for a variety of offences, including assault, drug offences and abusive behaviour.
The National also reported on an Oasis fan who travelled from Italy to Scotland, who died just hours before he was due to see the band perform.

Oasis pay tribute to Irish roots in sell-out Dublin reunion gig
Tens of thousands of fans descended on the Irish capital for the first of two sold-out gigs at the country's largest stadium. The 90s Britpop superstars performed to 80,000 people at Croke Park on Saturday and are scheduled to do the same on Sunday night. After an 'in-demand' dynamic pricing model left a poor taste for some fans last year, the ticket-holders were left to roll with it and enjoy the music in temperatures above 20C. Health officials advised revellers to wear their bucket hats, with high UV levels predicted amid warm and dry sunny spells in Dublin on Saturday. As the band's first gig in the country since 2009, the Dublin leg of the reunion world tour holds a special meaning for once-feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. The Mancunian brothers have often spoken about their ties to Ireland through their Irish-born parents, Peggy and Thomas – and display the image of an Irish harp as part of their comparatively understated stage decor. In a regional change to the warm-up tunes, the crowd enthusiastically joined in singing as The Auld Triangle blared over the stadium speakers before the brothers walked out, raised hand in raised hand, as F***in' In The Bushes played for their entrance. Fans were also delighted as it appeared Liam gave Noel a peck on the cheek on stage. In an apt opening for the reunion, fans delighted as the words: 'It's good to be back' and: 'We need each other' filled Croke Park during Hello and Acquiesce. Liam Gallagher told the crowd: 'Oasis vibes in the area, Dublin vibes in the area.' The singer, who described himself as a 'Croke Park virgin' because the band had never played there, added: 'This is the soberest I've ever been in Ireland.' A heaving crowd, which saw Manchester City tops mingle with Oasis-branded Bohemian FC jerseys as well as Dublin GAA kits in a dancing sea of light blue, then sang along to (What's The Story) Morning Glory. Fans travelled from far and wide to see the band (Cillian Sherlock/PA) Acknowledging how fans have missed the presence of the band, Liam added: 'You've been missed as well – you lunatics.' Liam also dedicated Roll With It to the people of Charlestown, Co Mayo – where his mother hails from. Mid-song, he also turned to the upper tiers where she was expected to have been sitting and blew kisses as he mouthed: 'I love you.' Liam later specifically dedicated Stand By Me To their mother, who he said was in the crowd. The band itself then had to pause briefly – as the packed stadium sang out a celebratory 'Ole, Ole, Ole'. Fans said Dublin City was 'buzzing' for the reunion, with some comparing it to Christmas in August. Sarah and Neil Charlton travelled from Southampton to see the band, after a determined search for standing tickets saw them clinching access in Dublin. Oasis fans, Mary O'Connor from Cork (left) and Sinead Millea, from Kilkenny, outside Croke Park, ahead of the first night of the Oasis Live '25 tour in Dublin (Cillian Sherlock/PA) Mr Charlton said they have both been waiting a long time to see the band reunite – having seen Oasis multiple times before their extended hiatus. He told the PA news agency: 'We thought: what a great city to come to and see the gig and have a couple of nights out in Dublin.' Mr Charlton added: 'It's just so nostalgic – all the songs and all the music from when we were growing up. 'When we first started seeing each other, we went to a gig and so it's always been a part of our lives together.' Oasis formed part of the romantic story for Lisa and Alan Roe too, who said their love of the band dates back to when they got married in the 1990s. Mr Roe said: 'Because the two of them are after getting back together after so many years, to be able to sell out a world tour the way they did – and their music going back to the late 80s and 90s. 'That brings an aura about in everybody and a buzz and the memories of growing up in Dublin with them – it's absolutely out of this world.' Oasis fans, Lisa and Alan Roe from Dublin, looked forward to the show (Cillian Sherlock/PA) Having had to wait a long time for the reunion tour, Sinead Millea from Kilkenny – who previously saw the band in Limerick in 1996 – said: 'Maybe we're all going through a bit of a midlife crisis – I turned 50 this year, and look, Noel and Liam, they're in their 50s as well. 'And maybe things just dawned on them that life is too short and just, let's put grievances to bed. 'They seem to be getting on great, and it's fabulous. And at the end of the day, music transcends everything, and we're all here to enjoy a brilliant night and to share it with the people that mean the most. 'It's just amazing. The weather is fabulous and it's a brilliant venue.' Eoin Whelan from Newcastlewest described the brothers' return as 'legendary' and 'biblical'. Having seen the band's last performance in Ireland at Slane in 2009, he said he never thought the reunion would happen – further comparing the Croke Park gig to Christmas in August. The support acts for the Dublin dates are Richard Ashcroft from The Verve and Cast, formed by John Power after he left The La's. Ashcroft delighted the crowd by downing a full pint of Guinness as he ended his set with Bittersweet Symphony. The setlist on the tour has featured crowd-pleasing hits including Cigarettes And Alcohol and Little by Little. Fans on the tour have also been treated to favourites including Supersonic, Some Might Say and Live Forever – before a Don't Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova crescendo in the encore. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August last year, 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009, when Noel quit after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. The highly anticipated 41-date run has already seen the band play Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh before taking them half the world away to major cities, including in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Japan.

The Sun also reported earlier this month, that more dates could be on the cards for the brothers. According to a Sun source, they have been offered four huge shows at Knebworth House next year - to mark the 30th anniversary of their two historic concerts there in 1996. If the rockers take up the offer, the shows would see them beating their former foe Robbie Williams' achievement of playing the iconic Hertfordshire venue three times. 9 Oasis are currently in the midst of their 2025 world tour Credit: Getty
