Furious Liam Gallagher lets rip at fan who fired flare into crowd during Oasis concert
LIAM GALLAGHER let rip in fury yesterday at a fan who fired a flare into the crowd during an Oasis concert.
The band were kicking off the Australian leg of their world tour, at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium in front of a 55,000-strong audience, when the incident happened.
The flaming missile landed on a packed moshpit as Oasis belted out 1996 hit Champagne Supernova.
Liam continued singing but later called out the disruptive act from the stage, wagging his finger at the crowd and telling fans: “That was naughty — naughty, naughty, naughty.”
Brother Noel is also reported to have been not at all best pleased — looking “concerned”.
The band were then fuming backstage, as Liam took to X yesterday and blasted: “To the massive C* who launched that flare into the crowd last night at the gig in Melbourne, you are one seriously f**d up individual and you will get yours, trust me.”
‘A bit intense’
One member of the crowd revealed: “People were scared as they didn’t know what was going on.
“No one expects to see flames in the crowd at a gig.
“It was all a bit intense for a few split seconds.”
A venue spokesman said: “Security acted quickly, but the patron involved in throwing the flare wasn’t found. Thankfully no one has ended up getting injured.”
Earlier on in the evening, Liam was in high spirits as he told an anecdote about a kangaroo that had the audience laughing.
Meanwhile, Liam’s sons Lennon and Gene had been enjoying the Asian leg of the tour last month.
A source tells me: “When they were in Japan last week they went all out and did a tea ceremony, they went to a temple and got blessed by a monk, and they had Samurai lessons.
“They are living the dream.”
With their dad laying low after a few too many parties on tour, I’m glad his lads are having fun.
JACOB’S COFFEE DATE
HUNKY actor Jacob Elordi is wasting no time after splitting from his glamorous YouTuber girlfriend after four years.
The Aussie, who stars in new Netflix film Frankenstein, was spotted grabbing coffee with model Kristen Kiehnle after the movie’s premiere in Los Angeles.
Kristen, who has 83,000 Instagram followers, is often seen flaunting her svelte physique on her holidays.
A source said: “Jacob and Kristen have been hanging out in LA. His romance with Olivia Jade has fizzled out and Jacob is concentrating on the film.”
Jacob and Olivia, were first linked in 2021, but called it quits after rekindling their relationship two months ago.
Olivia, the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin supported Jacob at the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of Frankenstein in September.
He may be playing Frankenstein’s monster, but it sounds like Jacob won’t be single for long.
NO MORE BUILDING BRIDGES?
THEY put rumours of a feud to bed when they posed for a selfie at September’s National Television Awards.
But there was no such smiley reunion for The Saturdays bandmates Rochelle Humes and Frankie Bridge at The Glamour Awards in London on Thursday night.
I am told Frankie was seated on table 14, while Rochelle was allocated to table five.
It seems Rochelle’s little sister Sophie Piper took one for the team as she was spotted chatting to Frankie at the drinks reception at 180 Strand.
A source said: “Rochelle was nowhere to be seen, but Frankie made an effort to chat to Sophie.”
The singers appeared to snub each other at Wimbledon this year.
BRIT OF LUCK FOR LILY
SHE’S already announced a 13-date UK tour next year, but I can reveal Lily Allen could be gracing us with a live performance before then.
I hear that the star, whose record West End Girl came out last month, is on the most wanted list to sing at the Brit Awards in February.
A well-placed music source tells me: “Lily’s album has gone stratospheric.
“Not only will she be a shoo-in for a gaggle of nominations, but bosses think she’d be ideal as a centre-piece for the performers on the night.
“She epitomises British talent and deserves to be on that stage being celebrated.
“It’s early days, but planning has already begun.”
Lily last performed at the Brits – which take place at the Co-op Live in Manchester for the first time next year – in 2010.
Back then, she belted out chart-topper The Fear.
Over the years, the star has been nominated for nine Brit Awards, but has only taken one home.
I’m sure that will change, though, with her latest musical offering detailing the breakdown of her marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour.
Despite the exposing compilation, Lily – who dressed up as kids’ book character Madeline for Halloween in a nod to the name she gave David’s alleged mistress on the album – says she doesn’t want “revenge”.
She told Interview magazine she now feels “differently” about their marriage breakdown, adding: “I wrote this record in ten days in December, and I feel very differently about the situation now.
“We all go through breakups, and it’s always f***ing brutal.
“But I don’t think it’s that often that you feel inclined to write about it while you’re in it.”
I think Lily crooning Pussy Palace on stage at the Brits would be iconic British behaviour . . .
IT’S NOUGHTIES BUT NICE, LADS
THE BUSTED vs McFly tour served up a dose of Noughties nostalgia as it hit London’s O2 arena.
The two groups are going head to head on a shared series of gigs around the UK, in a battle of the bands to finally settle their rock rivalry.
McFly – Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter – opened the London show with Where Did All The Guitars Go? before they had the whole room swaying with 2005 hit All About You.
Next, it was time to welcome their older brothers, in the form of Busted’s Matt Willis and Charlie Simson.
The pair paid tribute to bandmate James Bourne who has quit the tour for health reasons.
Matt said: “James Bourne, our best friend, is not with us right now – it sucks, we miss him and we love him. James is really fing sick so we are playing without him. It has been so fing weird but thank you for supporting us.”
After Busted reeled off their hits Crashed The Wedding and What I Go To School For, they belted out Year 3000 – joined by McFly. That song may be about the future, but I was happy to be back in the Noughties.
HE may pocket £500,000 as host of This Morning, but Ben Shephard has got a nifty side hustle on the go.
The presenter, who co-hosts the ITV daytime show with Cat Deeley, has set up an enterprising firm called Sweet Spot, which matches celebs with commercial opportunities.
Featured celebs include Joel Dommett, Gemma Atkinson and Love Island stars Will Young and Jessie Wynter.
Sweet Spot is actively looking for investors to help celebs create their own brands.
A source said: “Ben saw a gap in the market and doesn’t want to rely on telly work forever.”
Clever clogs.
ARGGH MAYA HEARTIES
CELEBS love to dress up for the cameras and Halloween gave them the perfect excuse.
Olivia Attwood went as Toy Story’s Jessie the cowgirl to a bash hosted by Heidi Klum, who was in full scare mode as Medusa.
In Manchester, Maya Jama and her footballer boyfriend Ruben Dias dressed up as characters from Pirates Of The Caribbean, while his Man City team-mate Erling Haaland appeared as The Joker.
Paris Hilton sprinkled some Tinker Bell magic, while Sabrina Carpenter opted for a Fred Flintstone look.
Mariah Carey threw on a long pink wig, Hailey Bieber dressed as one of The Incredibles and Simon le Bon sang on stage with Duran Duran as a zombie.
