Robbie Williams honours Oasis with blue plaque ahead of reunion kick-off
Robbie Williams has unveiled a blue plaque in London to honour Oasis ahead of their very first reunion show in Cardiff tonight, July 4th.
The sign has been erected on Berwick Street in Soho, the original location of the iconic cover of Oasis’ second album, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? which was released in 1995.
The plaque reads: “Robbie Williams – heard it, saw it, loved it, lived it, wanted it and snorted it… That’s The Story.” In the same post, he shared a picture of a reaction of the album cover. In it, Williams wears the same red tracksuit he wore at Glastonbury Festival in 1995 at the height of the Britpop era. With a dose of nostalgia, he captioned the picture, “GOOD LUCK TONIGHT LADS.”
Ahead of the reunion, Liam Gallagher apologised after posting a racist slur on X. After huge backlash on the platform, he wrote, “Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn’t intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. Peace and love.”
Earlier this week, Noel Gallagher appeared on the breakfast show on talkSPORT to share information about the upcoming tour. “We finished rehearsing last Tuesday,” the guitarist shared. “We’ve got a few days off now and it’s sounding huge, so we’re all, ‘well this is it, there’s no going back now’. It’s good.”
More than 14million people tried for 1.5million UK tickets in an eye-watering display of fan loyalty. The tour has also cost fans over £2million collectively in scams, according to Lloyds Banking Group. Lloyds reported that fans lost an average of £436 per scam, which is £200 more than the average concert ticket scam loss usually seen by the bank.
Their upcoming tour will begin at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on July 4th. Oasis will also play the same venue on July 5th before playing several dates at Heaton Park in Manchester, Wembley Stadium in London, Croke Park in Dublin, and Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.
