Liam Gallagher's split from Patsy Kensit sparked a Wembley nightmare that still haunts Oasis
As the Gallagher brothers return to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium, Noel recalls one of the last times Oasis played there as one of the worst nights of his life Manchester rock legends Oasis are gearing up to headline seven nights at Wembley Stadium, with the first show kicking off this evening. The gigs are part of the Gallagher brothers' highly anticipated UK and Ireland reunion tour and fans are buzzing with excitement. However, a past Wembley gig still lingers in the band's memory. Their 2000 show at the iconic venue is remembered by Noel Gallagher as 'dreadful' and it has gone down in music history as one of their most cringe worthy moments, something both Noel and Liam have publicly regretted. As anticipation builds for the 2025 reunion dates, fans will be hoping for a far more triumphant return to Wembley, the Mirror reports. Tonight's (July 25) gig marks the first time Oasis has played the Wembley Stadium venue since July 2009. The gig came just weeks after the Gallagher brothers split. It was during the Standing on the Shoulder of Giants tour in 2000 that a now in-famous slurred performance unfolded - today though the Gallagher brothers are older and perhaps a bit wiser than they were 25 years ago. Their second night at Wembley Stadium in July 2000 was meant to be a major moment, filmed for a live album and TV broadcast. But things quickly went off the rails, becoming a notorious disaster. Reflecting on the performance years later in 2017, Noel said that Liam should 'hang his head in shame' over what happened that night. At the time, frontman Liam Gallagher appeared drunk and was slurring lyrics, ranting expletives and sharing personal details on his private life in between songs. Looking back on the night in a 2017 interview with Radio X, Noel called it a 'low point in Oasis.' He said: "It was a horrible two-and-a-half hours on stage. Liam can hang his head in shame. It was dreadful." During the performance, Liam made slurred remarks about his breakup with actress and model Patsy Kensit. The couple officially confirmed their divorce in September 2000, ending their three year marriage. Despite their split, they shared happier times and have a son together, Lennon. Liam and Patsy's break-up was finalised at the London Divorce Court, where Patsy was granted a decree nisi on the grounds of Liams "unreasonable behaviour." However, in recent years Liam has admitted he has now stopped drinking before he's set to go on stage. Speaking to Radio X, he said: "I've not drank booze on stage since that famous Wembley gig. Remember that one where it all went a bit... " "Apparently people like that kind of thing but now I steer clear of all of that, do you know what I mean? It's just water man, stuff like that," he concluded. Despite the younger Gallagher brother's now sober performances, the in-famous uncut footage from 2000 is still available online. The band's Familiar to Millions release ended up externalising the chaotic show - and vocals were edited to salvage the recordings. Now, 25 years on, despite all this, Oasis fans have never lost love for the indie duo, as thousands gather in London to see Noel and Liam take the stage.
