Oasis Reunion Tour Honors Late Liverpool Player

Band kicks off highly anticipated tour after 16 years.

After a 16-year hiatus, **Liam** and **Noel Gallagher** have reunited as Oasis, launching their Live ’25 tour, but the opening show also featured a tribute to a recently deceased athlete.

Key Development

The first concert took place in Cardiff, Wales. The BBC covered the event live, minute by minute, reflecting the magnitude of the reunion.

As the concert neared its end, during the performance of “Live Forever,” images of the late **Diogo Jota**, a Liverpool player, were displayed. **Jota** and his brother, **André Felipe**, also a football player, tragically died in a car crash.

Tribute to Liverpool Player

During the opening concert, Oasis honored a Liverpool player, which underscores the brothers’ connection to Manchester City. The choice is notable because they are known supporters of Manchester City, a rival club.

Road accidents are a major cause of death worldwide; the World Health Organization reports that they cause over 1.19 million preventable deaths each year (WHO, 2024).
