Noel Gallagher’s ex-wife Meg Matthews ‘walks out’ of Oasis comeback gig – just moments before ‘her song’ is played
NOEL Gallagher’s ex-wife Meg Matthews “walked out” of last night’s Oasis comeback gig – just moments before “her song” was played
Noel, 58, and his brother Liam, 56, shared the stage for the first time in 16 years tonight at Cardiff‘s Principality Stadium – and his former missus was there to watch him.
Along with die hard Oasis fans, celebrities turned up in the masses to see the iconic band return to the stage to sing 23 of their best loved tunes.
One person who made sure they were there was Noel’s ex-wife Meg.
The former couple were married from 1996 before divorcing four years later.
The socialite, who he shares his beloved daughter Anais with, has been a big supporter of Oasis’ comeback, so she was there to show her support on the tour’s first night.
She was spotted arriving at the gig in Cardiff in “good spirits”, as she took her seat with friends.
A source told The Mirror: “After posting about her ex-husband for weeks, Meg Mathews had a prime seat for watching the band.
“She was in great spirits before the set, watching Richard Ashcroft with pals.”
However, after Oasis’ two hour set the band came back with a three song encore which included Don’t Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova.
The Mirror reports that it was at this moment Meg decided to “walk out” and leave the gig.
Hardcore fans will remember that Noel actually wrote Wonderwall for Meg, when they were together.
Speaking about his then-girlfriend back in 1996, the rock said: “It’s about my girlfriend, Meg Mathews.
“She had a company which folded and she was feeling a bit sorry for herself.
“The sentiment is that there was no point in her feeling down, she has to sort my life out for me because I’m in bits had the time.”
GIG OF THE CENTURY
It’s fair to say last night’s Oasis comeback did NOT disappoint.
Fans were treated to performances by Cast, a Britpop band from Liverpool, and The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft before the Gallagher brothers made their long awaited return to the stage.
Oasis proved they were worth the 16 year wait, playing a whopping 23 songs from their impressive back catalogue including Roll With It, Stand By Me, and Talk Tonight.
Before Cigarettes & Alcohol Liam dished out orders to the crowd, saying: “I want you to do us a favour. I don’t ask much.
“I want you to turn around, every single one of you
“Put your arms around each other like you like each other and when the tune starts you jump up and down.
“Its f***ing easy.”
After last night’s gig, Oasis play another night in Cardiff before moving on to Heaton Park in their native Manchester for five nights.
Then the band heads to Wembley Stadium for five nights from July 25 and then on to Edinburgh and Dublin, with the first part of their UK leg ending at Croke Park on August 17.
Oasis then heads over Canada and America for gigs in Toronto, Chicago, LA and Mexico City before returning to London for two more dates at Wembley at the end of September.
They then move on to Asia, Australia and South America, finally ending their tour on November 23 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
