Tom Cruise Attends Oasis Concert Despite Gallagher Brothers Once Claiming They ‘Hate' the ‘Little F–ker'
Tom Cruise doesn't look back in anger. Despite Liam and Noel Gallagher dissing him once years ago, the actor recently attended one of Oasis' reunion concerts in London. As captured in an Instagram photo posted by Goldie on Saturday (July 26), Cruise joined the British music producer in the stands at Wembley Stadium for Oasis' first of five performances this month at the famed venue. In the snap, the Top Gun star smiles excitedly and holds up a 'hang loose' hand symbol while posing next to Goldie at Friday's (July 25) show.

The outing comes nearly two decades after the Oasis siblings made their dislike of Cruise very clear in 2007 documentary Lord Don't Slow Me Down. In a clip from the tour film, Noel says frankly, 'He's a little f–ker, and he's not been in one good film in his entire career.' Liam replied at the time, 'I hate Tom Cruise,' calling the actor a 'bastard.' Even so, Cruise was one of thousands of Oasis fans who couldn't resist coming out to see the band's first tour in years. The Gallagher siblings had nurtured a bitter sibling feud for about 16 years until August of last year, when they announced that they'd be hitting the road together once again. 'The guns have fallen silent,' Oasis wrote in a statement at the time. 'The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.' Months later, the group's Live '25 Tour kicked off July 4 in Cardiff, Wales. Following stops in Manchester, England, and now in London, the bandmates will spend the next four months touring through Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and Latin America — meaning Cruise and other fans will have plenty more opportunities to see Oasis live this year.

I saw Oasis on their reunion tour. Drinks were expensive, merch was extortionate — but the experience was priceless.
I set myself up for disappointment on Friday. Sitting in a packed-out tube carriage heading to London's Wembley Stadium, I had high expectations for the night ahead. The sun was out, the drinks had been flowing, and more importantly, Oasis was back. But as a lifelong sports fan who's experienced one too many heartbreaks, I've learned to be a little suspicious when things seem "too good." I need not have worried, however. It had been 16 years since brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher infamously split following a spat ahead of a scheduled set in Paris — and the occasion was lost on no one. The band was on ferociously good form right from the raucous openers "Hello" and "Acquiesce" through to the epic climax of "Champagne Supernova." There was no time for " kiss cams" here. The 90,000-strong crowd locked onto every word as the group rolled off many of its most iconic numbers and paid tribute to the late, great Ozzy Osbourne. A year ago, however, some of the initial buzz over Oasis' unexpected comeback announcement was dampened slightly by controversy over the alleged use of surge ticket pricing, which companies selling products online sometimes use to increase prices as market demand rises. Many Oasis fans had to queue for hours to secure tickets through Ticketmaster and saw the cost of some tickets shoot from £135, or about $181, to more than £350, which is around $470. I got off lightly, paying £150. Ticketmaster has denied using a "dynamic pricing" model. Andrew Parsons, managing director at Ticketmaster UK, told MPs earlier this year that the platform does not change prices in "any automated or algorithmic way," adding that they are set in advance with "event organisers and their teams." Other fans faced the prospect of skyrocketing prices on secondary sites. One London-based fan who missed out on tickets on Ticketmaster told Business Insider at the time that he'd seen tickets listed for as much as £6,347 on one secondary site. Friday night's concert was also anything but cheap. A pint of beer broke the dreaded £8 barrier. T-shirts emblazoned with the brothers' faces or the band's logo were going for £40, while anything from the Adidas Originals x Oasis collection cost considerably more — I spied one "football shirt" selling for £85. Oasis is set to play seven shows at Wembley this year. The Live '25 Tour will also see the group perform at venues across North America, including Chicago's Soldier Field, the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and the Rogers Stadium in Toronto. For those lucky enough to have gotten tickets to Friday's show, any lingering bitterness over pricing seemed to have evaporated completely by the time the band stepped off stage. It wasn't just the chance of seeing two of rock and roll's most charismatic characters back together — it was a few hours of unfiltered joy and camaraderie that one should not take for granted these days. If you asked me now how much I'd have paid to go to the concert, I'd struggle to put a number on it. It's an experience that feels impossible to quantify but that will certainly live forever.

Alice Cooper urges Oasis brothers to avoid squabbles during reunion tour: 'Hope it lasts'
Rock legend Alice Cooper has weighed in on the long-awaited reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher, urging the Oasis brothers to keep the peace as they embark on their first tour together in 16 years. 'The Oasis Live '25 Tour,which began in Cardiff on July 4, is set to wrap with two shows in São Paulo this November. Cooper on band longevity: Keep peace, skip the stress In an interview with The Times, Cooper reflected on what it takes to maintain a band, especially when it involves family. He noted that staying apart without completely severing ties is sometimes the healthiest path and hinted that the Gallagher brothers' reunion would be more successful without conflict. Cooper added that watching the pair in interviews and on stage often felt tense, cautioning against letting stress derail the journey. Liam and Noel take it 'one day at a time' Despite the optimism, Oasis manager Alec McKinlay told Music Week that the tour is 'very much the last time around,' with no plans for new music. However, Liam Gallagher responded to fan concerns on social media, writing: 'Neither do I and the only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID so let's just take it 1 day at a time.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Launch - Prestige - Pallavaram Garden, Chennai Prestige Pallavaram Gardens Learn More Undo The brothers' cautious approach reflects the emotional complexity of their relationship, which has oscillated between camaraderie and conflict since Oasis's split in 2009. Reunion highlights: handshakes, dedications, and Gallagher Hill The tour has already delivered emotional moments, including the brothers walking on stage hand-in-hand in Cardiff and embracing at Heaton Park. Liam dedicated 'Bring It On Down' to fans gathered outside the venue on 'Gallagher Hill,' defying local restrictions that fenced off the area to protect livestock and newly planted trees. Fans were filmed singing along from the hill, prompting Liam to shout: 'Loads of people over there behind some hill or summat. Yeah I wanna dedicate this tune to them. If you lot are listening on the f**ing hill, 'Bring It On Down.'' A legacy tour with no guarantees While the 'Live '25 Tour' is being hailed as a historic moment for Britpop fans, insiders caution that it may not lead to a full-fledged Oasis revival. The band's manager emphasized that this is a 'chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them,' but reiterated that 'there's no plan for any new music'. Still, Cooper's advice—and Liam's cryptic optimism—have sparked hope that the reunion could evolve beyond nostalgia. As one fan wrote on social media: 'If Alice Cooper is rooting for them, maybe there's still magic left in the tank.'

Italian Oasis fans recreate iconic Manchester street Renaissance photo
No, the last time you saw the above photograph wasn't it hanging in the Renaissance section of the National Gallery in London. In 2016, photographer Joel Goodman captured a Manchester street strewn with drunk revellers on New Year's Eve. First appearing on the Manchester Evening News, the photo shows police wrestling a man in the foreground, crowds outside a Greggs and a man who looks ready to be drawn like a French girl with his belly half out. The snap went viral on social media, with users recreating it as a watercolour painting or using the man as their artistic muse. Others found it almost perfectly flowed with the golden ratio – a snail shell-shaped proportion frequently found in nature and paintings. A lot has changed in the nearly 10 years since the Well Street Renaissance photo was taken, but it doesn't seem anyone has forgotten about it. Mancunian Ross posted on Bluesky about how she was leaving the pub when she spotted 'young-ish people frolicking on a random side street'. 'They're all wearing black, have got their phones out and are in odd positions on the pavement and in the side street,' she said. 'They seem to be yelling directions at each other. After a second of observing, I realise. 'Are you all trying to recreate the accidental Renaissance picture?!' 'YES!!!'' The group of art lovers had travelled to Manchester from Italy to see Oasis perform in Heaton for Liam and Noel Gallagher's Live '25 Tour. Ross said she decided to help out the Adidas-clad fans recreate Goodman's photograph by pretending to be one of the officers. 'We got chatting and (although I had to admit my general neutrality towards Oasis) I was effusive about how much I love this city after over a decade of living here and that they should all visit again,' Ros added. 'It was so, so lovely. Supersonic! Molto bene!' And other Bluesky users agreed. 'Recreating the masterpiece,' said Daniel Savage, an artist. 'What a joyful thing in this miserable world.' More Trending Simon Smith, a journalist, added: 'This is one of the best artistic statements ever made by any Italians. Ever.' Goodman, the man behind the original photo, felt the same – and for a very important reason. 'You've got to love these Oasis fans travelling from Italy to celebrate Mancunian culture,' he told Metro. 'As artificial intelligence (AI) saps the humanity and diversity from the world's creative wonders, it warms my soul to see people celebrate their love for music and photographs that reflect real human experiences, only made possible because they were created by humans.'
