Noel Gallagher ‘tears up' during emotional ballad at Oasis Murrayfield gig
Fans believe the Scottish gigs are especially emotional for Noel due to his split-up from his Scottish wife. Around 70,000 fans descended on Murrayfield Stadium last night for the second of Oasis' legendary three Edinburgh concerts. But during one much-loved emotional tune, Noel was spotted getting teary eyed, which many fans speculated was due to his recent split-up from his Scottish wife. During the stripped-back and melancholic song Talk Tonight, from the band's second album (What's The Story) Morning Glory, Noel was visibly emotional as he sang the lyrics 'I want to talk tonight/ about how you saved my life'. And emotions were high throughout the stadium last night, as Noel also shared a sweet moment with a young fan who was holding a banner saying 'Oasis saved me'. A TikTok posted by fan Andrew Douglas showed the Gallagher brother welling up while singing the heart-felt lyrics, which prompted much discussion in the comments section. Many debated the meaning of the song, Noel's mental health, and how much it must mean to the brothers to have reunited for such a colossal and globally-renowned sell-out tour. Many fans seemed to think the influx of emotion was due to Noel's recent divorce to his Edinburgh-born wife Sara McDonald. The Oasis star and his now ex-wife Sara announced their split in January 2023 after 12 years of marriage. Noel's divorce from the Scottish music PR is said to have set him back £20m and forced him to give up their luxury £8M Hampshire home. The Gallagher previously opened up about their split on Matt Morgan's Patreon Podcast, where he spoke about adjusting to single life. He even described a cheeky gesture he makes when biking in London:"I can get on the bike and go up to King's Cross, and go down to the canal at Longfield Road. "And get on the canal outside my wonderful ex-wife's house and give her a little wave, and go, 'You didn't take this from me'!" Many in the comments of the heart-wrenching TikTok from last night's gig thought that the recent split-up was to blame for this sudden wave of emotion during the love song. One concerned fan said: "His last solo tour and his marriage breaking up really took a toll on him. I don't think he thought he'd be back playing to crowds like this again." A second commenter said: "This song was about his Scottish wife im sure they've split up tho." Another added: "Could be bc his ex was from Scotland i think." But others speculated that it was the song, rather than the Scots location, that prompted the tears. Another fan added: "Bc its the song he wrote about someone saving his life when he was struggling…" While a third fan speculated: "Noel is easily going through a rough time this is depression, those who don't know haven't experienced it. He needs love." The Gallaghers will take to the stage for a third night at Murrayfield on Tuesday, August 12. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Oasis dedicate song to ‘people who can't be here tonight' at Wembley gig
Oasis dedicated Live Forever to 'all the people who can't be here tonight' during their Wembley Stadium gig on Sunday, after a fan fell to his death at the band's concert on Saturday. The touching moment came as the Manchester band brought to a close their first run of five gigs at the venue as part of their Live 25 tour. A man in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene at the stadium on Saturday after being 'found with injuries consistent with a fall'. Addressing fans on Sunday night after finishing Whatever, singer Liam Gallagher said: 'This one's for all the people who can't be here tonight, but who are here if you know what I mean, and aren't they looking lovely. Live Forever.' The band then played the track of the same name. The tribute came during a crowd-pleasing set packed with their biggest hits such as Cigarettes And Alcohol, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger, with the group set to return to the national football stadium for two further dates in September. Liam and Noel Gallagher arrived on stage hand-in-hand, opening with Hello, from their 1995 album (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, prompting mass football terrace-style singalongs for an opening salvo of fan favourites that included Acquiesce, Some Might Say and Morning Glory. Before Roll With It, Liam joked to the crowd that guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs wanted to sing Bonehead's Bank Holiday, an album track from (What's The Story) Morning Glory? During 1994 standalone single Whatever, the band made a nod to their Beatles influence by including a snippet of Octopus's Garden, from 1969's Abbey Road album. Oasis fans on Wembley Way (Lucy North/PA) Before Half The World Away, Noel asked the crowd if there was anyone from Manchester in the crowd, receiving a number of boos. He replied: 'None of you would be here if it wasn't for the city of Manchester.' The set climaxed with fireworks erupting over Wembley as the band played Champagne Supernova. Before the final song, Liam told the crowd: 'Nice one for putting up with us after all these years.' The run of concerts has been the first time they have appeared together onstage at the London venue since July 12 2009, when they performed during the Dig Out Your Soul tour. After the first part of their Wembley stint, the band will head to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium followed by Dublin's Croke Park. The group will head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America later in the year. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August last year, 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009 which saw Noel quit following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
