A heartfelt moment unexpectedly interrupted the BBC’s live special celebrating Oasis’ reunion, catching fans and viewers by surprise.
On Friday, July 4, thousands gathered at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium for Oasis’ first UK tour show in 16 years, marking a highly anticipated return after years of sibling rivalry. For those unable to attend, BBC News hosted a special live broadcast on BBC iPlayer, presented by Tina Daheley and Jason Mohammad, offering fans a chance to relive the band’s iconic legacy.
During the broadcast, musician Fran Cutler—who performed backing vocals for Oasis in the late 1990s—joined the presenters and became visibly emotional while reflecting on the reunion. When asked about her feelings, Fran struggled to contain her tears, sharing, “I can’t even begin to tell you. I mean, I’m on the verge of tears, I’m so excited. It’s going to be so amazing.”

She expressed how deeply meaningful the reunion was for everyone involved, saying, “It’s something that everybody’s been waiting for — fans, friends. I knew it would happen one day, it had to. That’s the way life is; you go in and out of these things, fall out, and then make friends again – they’re brothers, they’re family.”
As a devoted mother, Fran anticipated shedding more tears during the concert itself, explaining, “I’ll be crying all night because all the wounds have been healed, and it will be a beautiful night where everyone comes together.”
Outside the venue, die-hard Oasis fans camped out well in advance to secure prime spots for witnessing the band’s historic comeback. Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher revealed in a fan exchange that Noel took primary control over the set list, jokingly adding, “Noel’s the boss, I’ll do what I’m told as I’m a good boy.”
Following their Cardiff reunion performance, Oasis will return to Manchester for five shows at Heaton Park and continue their extensive 41-date UK tour with dates at Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh, and Dublin. When asked why Cardiff was chosen as the starting point, Liam simply quipped, “Because Cardiff is the b*****.”
Fans around the world are eagerly following every moment of this momentous chapter in Oasis’ storied history — from the heartfelt on-air emotions to the electrifying live performances.
