Oasis enjoyed a little onstage joke at the expense of their friends, and fellow stadium-filling English rock band, Coldplay at their final Manchester show yesterday, July 20.
Ahead of performing Slide Away, from the band's classic debut album Definitely Maybe, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has been asking if there are any "love birds" among the crowd watching the Manchester-born, London-based band. Yesterday, at the band's final show at Manchester's Heaton Park, Gallagher updated his introduction to the song, asking "Do we have any lovebirds in the house?" then following up by saying, "Don’t worry, we ain’t got any of that Coldplay snidey fucking camera shit. Doesn’t matter to use who you’re fucking mingling with or tingling with, fingering with, none of our fucking business. But this one’s for the lovebirds anyway."
Gallagher's cheeky comment was a reference to Coldplay's Music Of The Spheres world tour show last week at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, after footage captured on their "kiss cam" went viral. The camera captured one Andy Byron, the married CEO with US tech firm Astronomer CEO, allegedly "canoodling", as UK tabloids are fond of writing, with the company’s Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot.
As the pair quickly scrambled out of shot, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin joked, "Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy."
Byron subsequently resigned from the company, who announced, “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO."
