Liam and Noel's epic gift to Manchester Gallagher Hill fans resold for huge amount
Noel Gallagher's daughter has revealed the epic gift Oasis gave its fans at the band's final gig in Manchester last night. The Wonderwall stars brought the house down again at Heaton Park in their hometown after performing for five sold-out nights to an adoring crowd.
Those not lucky enough to bag a ticket for the reunion have been gathering on the newly-named Gallagher Hill in the park to try and catch a glimpse of the gig. And last night, a thousand were given an exclusive Oasis t-shirt, branded with 'Gallagher Hill', which went down a storm with the fans as they soaked up the electric atmosphere.
Revealing the unexpected gift on Instagram, Noel's daughter, Anais, shared a photo of two revellers proudly wearing their new shirts with the caption: "Giving out these t.shirts on Gallagher Hill is [love emoji]. Now I just need a Gallagher Hill bracelet."
Sisters Claire and Kerri Davis told the Manchester Evening news the t.shirts were handed out by a man on a golf buggy. 'He just came and was handing them out, he looked official. He said 'they're from Liam but I've only got a thousand,'' they said.
The sisters looked like they treasured the t.shirts, but didn't stop another eager opportunist from taking to eBay making the most of the shirt's exclusivity.
In a listing that has popped up on selling site overnight, one fan is selling their Gallagher Hill t-shirt for an eye-watering £1026.68!
The description reads: "Official Oasis Gallagher Hill T-shirt handed out to fans at last Manchester gig courtesy of Oasis."
A source told The Sun that the Gallagher brothers wanted to thank the fans after Manchester City Council tried to to fence off the hill last week.
Revealing that the band could only get 1,000 t.shirts printed with such short notice, they said: 'Noel and Liam wanted to do something to honour their fans who'd been given a kick in the teeth from the council.
'Their fans had gathered on the hill to listen to the show if they didn't have tickets and those in a good position could get a sight of the screens until the council bores tried to stop the fun.
'Noel and Liam wanted to make a point to their fans who couldn't get tickets so had these T-shirts made especially for them."
On Friday, Liam dedicated Definitely Maybe and Bring It Own Down to the crowds that had gathered on the mound despite the council's best efforts to shut it down.
Oasis also screened Gallagher Hill as part of their final Heaton Park show - so everyone was involved in a triumphant final Manchester gig.
Liam paid tribute to 'wonder kid' footballers Phil Foden and Ballon D'or winner Rodri, who was at Sunday's show. The screens then showed black and white footage of the fans on Gallagher Hill.
Liam said: 'Right now it's Poznan time. And want you lot on the hill to be getting involved as well.
'Even if you are Manchester United fans, I've seen you up there. Jump up and down and stop sulking.'
Noel then added: 'we're going live to Gallagher hill,' before he began the opening rift of Cigarettes and Alcohol and the Poznan began.
Acknowledging the thousands of fans who gathered on the hill now named after him and his brother, Liam told the crowd: "I've been hearing there's loads of people over there behind some hill or something. Yeah I wanna dedicate this tune to them.
"Right, so if you lot are listening on that f*****g hill, Bring It On Down" he said, before the band kicked in to the song of the same name from Definitely Maybe.
Police have confirmed they made no arrests during the final night of Oasis' epic run of five dates in Manchester's Heaton Park, however video footage has now emerged of groups of fans clashing
Camping chairs, loo roll and bottles were thrown as ticketless Oasis fans 'scrapped' on Gallagher Hill during the final gig at Heaton Park on Sunday (July 20).
During the concert, witnesses claimed tensions escalated between groups of fans. who were involved in 'football chanting', reports the Manchester Evening News.
There seemed to be clashes between Manchester City and Manchester United fans as well.
" Football fans were chanting, camping chairs were thrown," one witness recalled, adding: "Then a scrap. Then bottles. One lad got punched in the face."
They continued: "They were launching glass bottles at each other and then in the crowd. Loads of people seemed to leave where I was. It went on for about half an hour. [It was] horrible."

Ozzy Osbourne's bandmates and fans pay tribute: ‘You're forever in my heart'
The music superstar's death at the age of 76 was announced in a statement to the PA news agency saying he was 'with his family and surrounded by love'. His Black Sabbath band mates – Terence 'Geezer' Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward – led tributes to Osbourne alongside fans from his home city of Birmingham, where he had taken to the stage as part of a reunion concert just weeks earlier. Black Sabbath co-founder Iommi said it was 'brilliant' to reunite with the band before Osbourne died, saying the singer 'really wanted' to perform together again and 'felt at home'. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'It is really a shock. It's really hit me today to be honest, but yeah, a terrible shock.' On their reunion concert two weeks ago, Iommi said: 'It was brilliant to be with all the guys again… and it was brilliant for Ozzy because he really wanted to do that, you know, he felt at home there and it was really good for him. 'It was good for all of us, and lovely to be able to get together for a final thing. I mean, we didn't realise it was going to be this final.' Earlier this month, Osbourne took to the stage as part of the Black Sabbath reunion, telling thousands of heavy metal enthusiasts at Villa Park – a stone's throw from where the band was formed in 1968 – that it was 'so good to be on this stage' as he performed his last set from a large black throne. Osbourne and his fellow original Black Sabbath members were the last to appear as part of the star-studded line-up for the Back to the Beginning concert. The band's bassist, Butler said he is 'so glad' the band reunited with Osbourne one final time as he paid tribute to his long-time bandmate and friend, reflecting on their final performance together. 'Thanks for all those years – we had some great fun. 4 kids from Aston – who'd have thought, eh?' he captioned an Instagram post. 'So glad we got to do it one last time, back in Aston. Love you.' Where will I find you now? In the memories, our unspoken embraces, our missed phone calls, no, you're forever in my heart. Deepest condolences to Sharon and all family members. RIP Sincere regrets to all the fans. Never goodbye. Thank you forever. Bill Ward — Bill Ward (@billwarddrums) July 22, 2025 Ward, Black Sabbath's drummer, posted a photo of himself and Osbourne on X, writing: 'Where will I find you now? In the memories, our unspoken embraces, our missed phone calls… no, you're forever in my heart.' Fans left tributes thanking Osbourne for 'bringing Birmingham together' at the scene of a mural honouring the band in the city. Dozens of bunches of flowers, candles and cards were left underneath Osbourne's picture on the Navigation Street mural. One tribute said: 'There are no words, truly. Thank you for everything, for all the music, for the endless and timeless discography. 'You have touched millions, my whole life your music has played almost as if raising me. 'You've gave my family memories, a history of them, even recently at your last gig you bought us so much happiness, it's unreal.' Another simply read: 'Thank you for bringing Birmingham together Ozzy.' The producers and director of upcoming documentary Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now, which began filming in early 2022 during the rocker's recording sessions for his 13th studio album, and is set to air on Paramount+ later this year, also paid tribute to Osbourne. Directed by Bafta award-winner Tania Alexander, the documentary is being produced by UK production house Echo Velvet in partnership with the Osbournes and MTV Entertainment Studios, with Phil Alexander one of the executive producers. A statement from Tania and Phil Alexander, on behalf of Echo Velvet, said: 'We are truly heartbroken to hear the news of Ozzy's passing. 'Filming with him, Sharon, Aimee, Kelly and Jack for the last three-and-a-half years will always be a cherished and remarkable experience – largely because we got to regularly witness Ozzy's indomitable spirit, his mischievous, irresistible grin and his masterful display of unique one-liners.' Black Sabbath went on to become one of the most influential and successful metal bands of all time, selling more than 75 million albums worldwide, with hit songs including Paranoid, Changes and Iron Man. The group were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and Osbourne was added for a second time last year. He rose to further fame alongside his wife Sharon – whom he married in 1982 and with whom he has three children, Aimee, Jack and Kelly – through their MTV reality TV series The Osbournes. In 2020, Osbourne revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, telling Good Morning America that it was discovered he had the neurodegenerative disorder after a fall. He said: 'I did my last show New Year's Eve at The Forum. Then I had a bad fall. I had to have surgery on my neck, which screwed all my nerves and I found out that I have a mild form.' He released his 12th studio album Ordinary Man in 2020, followed by Patient Number 9 in 2022, which went to number three and two in the UK charts, respectively. A family statement released on Tuesday night said: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.'

ITV Coronation Street star shares emotional tribute after colleague's sad death
Antony Cotton has paid tribute to his former colleague Matthew Owens after he passed away aged 38, who worked on the set of the popular soap. Coronation Street actor Antony Cotton has paid a heartfelt tribute to his colleague Matthew Owens, 38, who sadly passed away. Matthew worked on the set of the ITV soap as a fire safety advisor and other BBC programmes. Antony, who is famed for his role as Sean Tully, took to social media to share a tribute to honour his pal. Alongside a photo from the order of service from the funeral, which confirmed Matthew passed away earlier this month on July 7, the actor wrote a touching tribute. He said on Instagram: "Today was a very hard day for so many people, especially Matt's family. I still can't quite get my head round it, to be honest. Matt was just a really, really nice lad. We met when he did the fire safety for a stunt block at Coronation Street, 13 years ago and we've been friends ever since. "He was a much-loved son, brother, dad, colleague and partner. He was also a quiet and humble, solid friend. I'll miss hearing from you Matt, out of the blue sometimes, but always with a smile. You are at rest now, no more worries, Matty Boy." Fans and friends rushed to the comments section to honour Matthew as reported by the Mirror, with one user posting: "Sorry for your loss mate. Condolences to his friends and family." One person who had attended the funeral added, "I did the funeral today, I was one of the family limo drivers, I saw how sad you were, gave you a little smile, very emotional day. So many people attended, you could tell he was very loved." Another fan wrote: "Just reading this news, I didn't know Matt had passed, really sad news. He was always so helpful and a joy to work with, helped me out lots with projects. Sending love to his family." Matthew leaves behind his partner Amy and his young son Freddie, 11. In an emotional tribute to the late firefighter, fire stations throughout Staffordshire put their flags up at half-mast. He served as a fireman at Cannock Fire Station. The Corrie set-worker also ran a company that supplied fire safety training, extras and props to the BBC and ITV. In 2013, he worked on setting the iconic Rovers Return pub ablaze. In the dramatic storyline, the pub blaze left Stella Price and Sunita Alahan trapped, whilst Karl abandoned Sunita in the cellar to perish. Matthew also even coached Corrie actor Tony Hirst on how to perform a fireman's lift for the harrowing scenes. Stella made it out alive and was rushed to hospital, however Karl later killed her when he removed her breathing equipment so she couldn't disclose who started the blaze. Matthew previously remarked about working on set: "It's all a bit surreal being there on the set and on camera. At one point we were standing outside The Rovers Return, just watching it burn. "Normally as firefighters, we'd get to the scene and be putting the fire out. It was unreal just watching the fire, especially at such an iconic pub. "It was a hard three weeks working on the set, we were there from February 11 to last Tuesday. The first week we were working all night, from 3pm to 5am. The second week was all days, doing inside shots and the last week tidying bits up."
