Legendary songwriter spotted at Oasis gig and fans go wild for unexpected reason

A legendary songwriter was spotted thoroughly enjoying an Oasis show in the United States. Fans are now hoping for a collaboration between Oasis and the veteran performer, who will be touring the US with a tour of his own later this year. While a crossover remains unlikely, it marked a viral moment from the ongoing Live '25 tour.

Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher's reunion surprised many, with some wondering whether the band would ever get back together. After returning to the stage for the first time in 16 years, fans are delighted to see the group back on the road and performing across the globe.

Others were surprised to see the celebrity guests cropping up at some of the recent concert dates. Celebrities like Matt Damon, Jarvis Cocker and Gwyneth Paltrow were spotted at previous shows.

Now, Sir Paul McCartney of The Beatles and Wings fame has been spotted at a show in the United States. The Let It Be hitmaker was seen recording part of the show in a now viral post to the r/Oasis Reddit page.

Fans are hopeful of a McCartney and Gallagher crossover, and with McCartney apparently having an album ready to release early next year, the possibility is there.

One hopeful fan wrote: "Maybe a McCartney / Gallagher song could be in the works."

Another added: "God I wish. Macca does have an album on the works, according to him. Honestly I'd just be happy with a pic of the three of them together."

A third added: "Man it must feel good to have your legends see you perform." Oasis has never hidden their love for The Beatles, with the band citing the Fab Four as one of their biggest influences.

The Gallagher brothers would often perform a cover of The Beatles' I Am the Walrus during their live shows, something they have not done on the Live '25 tour. A snippet of the song has sometimes been performed by Liam Gallagher.

It comes as McCartney prepares for the US leg of his Got Back tour. Answering a fan question on how he prepares for life on the road and taking care of his fingertips after so many shows, McCartney says he still just wings it.

Sir Paul regularly receives questions from fans in the "You Gave Me the Answer" section of his website. In Thursday's (July 31) instalment, fan Sean inquired, "After 60-plus years of playing guitar, how do you take care of your fingertips?"

Paul revealed, "To tell you the truth, I don't! When I'm touring and playing guitar constantly, my fingertips develop calluses. Then when I have time off, they go a bit softer, but will harden up again when recording.

"I suppose I've got used to it, but I don't actually do anything to them to achieve that result!"
