The video was captured in December 2015 at a 60th birthday party for Paul Simonon, the bassist from The Clash, who also features in the performance. Noel can be seen singing the vocal that was originally recorded by the Happy Mondays’ Shaun Ryder while playing guitar, with Albarn and Simonon accompanying him.

The fabled singer-songwriter released his latest single ‘Just Another Rainbow‘ earlier this month, and is more active on the social media site than ever before: insulting and berating his brother, replying to fans, calling out trolls and creating a tornado of comedic pop culture commentary on a daily basis, most of which of course, is completely daft.

Now 30 years on since Oasis skyrocketed to fame, the brothers still find themselves in the midst of a heated feud, one that doesn’t always seem to be reciprocated. Liam claims he has still not seen, let alone had any form of contact with brother Noel since the day of the split.

Oasis established themselves as Britpop powerhouses in the 90s with early singles like ‘Supersonic’, ‘Live Forever’ and ‘Whatever’, going on to take the music industry by storm. The band announced their split in August 2009 after a backstage bust-up at their final concert at Rock En Seine Festival in Paris. As the duo prepared to go on stage, an argument ensued, causing Liam to wield Noel’s guitar around ‘like an axe’.

Liam’s tell-all 2019 Netflix documentary ‘As It Was’ revealed many of the untold ins and outs of the infamous rivalry between the brothers, his family life, and how his career has shifted over the past decade. After failing to get Beady Eye off the ground immediately after the split, Gallagher has since rode the wave of a successful solo career, with Noel indulging in his own musical project, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

Fans are still waiting with bated breath in the hope of a reunion some day, but it may be a day that will never come. Rumours began to circulate again in March 2023 that the brothers might reunite after Liam responded to a fan on Twitter who asked if there’s a “small percentage that Oasis get back together,” Liam simply replied: “It’s happening.”

“He’s got my number, he’s got my manager number. Call us”

When questioned about the statement by a French media outlet, Noel commented: “He should get his people to call my people to call my people. They know who they are. They know who we are. He’s got my manager’s number. Call us. But you know what? He won’t call. Stop talking on the f***ing internet and let’s see what you’ve got to say.”

Other fans have speculated that the duo may return to Knebworth in Hertfordshire this year for a legendary stint of live gigs, but with no healing of the rift in sight, it’s pure gossip at this point.

The 2022 single, which has strong elements of synth-pop and new wave, saw the track stripped down into a raw and soulful version by Smith and her live band. The rendition, which can be watched below, showcased the remarkability of Smith’s breath-taking vocals.

Smith explained why she decided to cover the pop song and said: “I keep hearing it. I find it hard sometimes to do a cover – it needs to be a song that I know even though I’ve deffo got the lyrics in front of me. But this one I’ve been hearing a lot and I thought, ‘Oh, this will be really nice’. It’s a bit more toned down…”

The 26-year-old musician also covered her own single, “Little Things”, on the show. “Little Things”, which was released earlier this year as the second single from her latest album, has gained over 29 million streams on Spotify. Additionally, the remixed version of the single, “Little Things x Gypsy Woman – L BEATS MASHUP”, has topped the stars’ popular songs on the platform with over 46 million streams.

Last week, BBC’s Live Lounge also saw other acts perform on the show, including Olivia Rodrigo and Troye Sivan. Other artists that are scheduled for the series include YungBlud, Usher and Madison Beer.

Falling Or Flying is Smith’s second studio album, after her extended EP Lost & Found in 2021. The 2021 record, which included hit singles such as “Addicted” and “Gone”, was a commercial success for Smith – peaking on various charts around the world, including Australia, Belgium and Scotland. The record peaked at number nine on the UK Charts and hit number one on the UK R&B Albums Chart.

Her latest record has been praised by critics. Thomas Smith from NME gave the album four out of five stars and said that Smith “finds her rhythm with an expanded sonic palette… Flying or Falling was the record she was destined to make.” Meanwhile, Amiee Cliff from Pitchfork complimented the album’s daring freedom of exploring Smith’s relationship with fame.

The singer was unable to make the event due to his current touring schedule and accepted his artist of the year award via video message. In his acceptance speech, Styles introduced himself and continued by saying “I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at the iHearts Awards for giving me this prestigious honour of Artist of the Year. It is very kind of you and I’m sorry that I can’t be there with you tonight. I hope you’re all having a wonderful evening, and thank you very much. Take care.”

The 2023 iHeart Music Awards was hosted by Lenny Kravitz and took place in Los Angeles on March 27, at the Dolby Theatre. Taylor swift was the biggest winner of the night, winning the iHeart Radio Innovator Award, as well as Song of the Year and Best Lyrics for her song ‘’Anti-Hero.’’ Sam Smith and Kim Petras also won an award for Best Collaboration for their hit song ‘’Unholy.’’

Harry Styles has gained attention recently for reasons other than his music, but more so for his love life. The former One Direction band member was spotted last week kissing Model and Actress, Emily Ratajkowski, in the streets of Tokyo, Japan. The kiss sparked a controversial reaction from fans, as Ratajkowski is supposedly a friend of Styles ex-girlfriend, Olivia Wilde. Neither Harry Styles or Emily Ratajkowski have confirmed a relationship so far.

Harry Styles has received critical acclaim for his most recent album release, Harry’s House, and the album still continues to receive the positive recognition it deserves. The star is currently performing globally with his Love On Tour shows, which has seen him tour around USA, Europe and Australia. Harry Styles is set to return to the UK this Summer for his Love On Tour. He is scheduled to perform in Coventry and Edinburgh at the end of May, with four scheduled London Wembley Arena shows and two scheduled Cardiff shows in June.

Styles, who won the prestigious Album of the Year award for Harry’s House, performed his hit single “As It Was” during the show but was faced with technical difficulties.

The performance had Harry and his backup dancers moving around a spinning turntable, reminiscent of that seen in the “As It Was” music video.

However, the stage unfortunately began to spin in the wrong direction when the performance started. Styles and his dancers were forced to adapt their routine on the spot, resulting in a clumsier performance than had been meticulously rehearsed.

Grammys set designer Julio Himede has opened up about the incident on the BBC’s Eurovision podcast, revealing that Styles “called the team in charge to make sure they were OK.” Himede said the incident was “heartbreaking.“

He continued, “In rehearsals his performance was so polished. I was sitting there admiring how amazing Harry and his dancers were to just run with it and cope with it. To continue the performance live and all of a sudden think, ‘I have to just go in reverse now’, is quite incredible.“

Himede will be designing the sets for the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest and is keen to avoid any similar mishaps. The stage will have to be reset in 60 seconds after performances, with Himede calling it “organised chaos.“

Fans were quick to jump to Harry’s defence after his performance didn’t quite reach the standards he has set for himself as a performer. Fans responded to Brandon Mathis, one of the backup dancers, who revealed that the performance had to be reworked on the spot.

Do you guys know how big of a deal the stage spinning the wrong way is? The dancers and Harry had to do the performance backwards. They were all on the opposite of their marks etc no wonder Harry’s voice was shaking right away, he was freaking out

One fan tweeted that they “would’ve just started to cry” had they been in Harry’s position.

Harry’s better than me because if my stage started spinning backwards I would’ve just started to cry — Julia (@WORLDLWT2) February 6, 2023

This was not the only problematic aspect of Harry’s Grammy attendance this year. Despite winning the most prized Grammy Award for Album of the Year, Harry faced backlash following his acceptance speech.

Controversially, Styles said “this doesn’t happen to people like me very often” and faced immediate criticism for his tone deaf comment. Twitter users were quick to fire back.

Despite a bumpy evening, Styles has held onto his reputation as the friendliest man in pop, staying true to his “Treat People With Kindness” message by ensuring those around him were fine following the show’s mishaps.

After only recently completing a sold-out 43-date arena tour in 2021, and two special One Night Only shows in New York and London this year, the highly anticipated tour in support of his new album Harry’s House will allow fans to access multiple nights in major cities across the globe turning iconic venues into Harry’s House. The 2023 European leg will also be Harry’s first full stadium outing in the region, as well as a great chance to catch British indie newcomers Wet Leg thrive in a well-deserved venue of these sizes.

The last weekend also saw Styles dominating the stage at the MTV VMAs. The annual event was held last Sunday (August 28^th) and saw the likes of LL Cool J, Nicki Minaj and rapper Jack Harlow hosting. Styles accepted the coveted Album Of The Year accolade via a pre-recorded message that spoke, “I’m sorry I can’t be there with you tonight, I hope you’re having a wonderful evening, and thank you so much.” Before coming back to conclude, “I know this is a fan-voted award. I would like to say thank you to all my fans who voted, I wouldn’t be holding this if it wasn’t for you.” The event recently caught some flack after Harlow and Italian Eurovision band Måneskin pulled out of performances at Reading and Leeds Festival to perform at the ceremony.

Outside of the AOTY category, Styles also topped the bill with “As It Was” for Best Pop Performance and Best Cinematography. You can get the full lowdown here.

Harry Styles’ Love On Tour UK dates:

22/5/23 – Coventry – Building Society Arena
26/5 – BT Murrayfield Stadium – Edinburgh
10/6 – Slane Castle – Slane
13/6 – Wembley Stadium – London
14/6 – Wembley Stadium – London
20/6 – Principality Stadium – Cardiff

As Styles is currently on tour, he was unable to attend the event in person; at the time of the ceremony, the “Watermelon Sugar” singer was performing at New York’s Maddison Square Gardens. In lieu of a physical presence, Styles sent in a pre-recorded video. Within the footage, the singer said, “I’m sorry I can’t be there with you tonight, I hope you’re having a wonderful evening, and thank you so much.“

During the video, Styles revealed the reason for his absence and told of his upcoming performance that night. Whilst accepting the award, the singer can be seen holding his trophy and thanking those involved in the album’s completion. Styles went on to praise producers Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson for their “brilliance” in creating something “worthy of the love fans have shown“. Styles concluded his heartfelt statement with a special thank you to his fans; he said, “I know this is a fan-voted award. I would like to say thank you to all my fans who voted, I wouldn’t be holding this if it wasn’t for you.”

In addition to Album Of The Year, Styles also walked away with two further trophies for his single “As it Was“, the beloved track sired a win for Best Pop and Best Cinematography. Alongside his three wins, Styles’ “As It Was” was also nominated for Video Of The Year, Best Direction and Best Choreography. The 28 year old singer also received a nod for “Late Night Talking”, the track was nominated for the Song Of The Summer. Styles was also included in the list of nominees for the coveted Artist Of The Year.

Styles was not the only British artist to be recognised by the MTV Video Music Awards; many other homegrown acts were included within the list of nominees. Fellow British singer Ed Sheeran was nominated in multiple award categories, including Video of the year for his single “Shivers“. The “Bad Habits” singer was also up against Styles for Artist Of The Year, Best Direction for “Shivers” and a mention in Styles’ winning category Best Pop.

British pop singer Dua Lipa also received multiple nods within the list of nominations, receiving mentions for her work with Sir Elton John and Megan Thee Stallion. Lip’s collaboration with Sir John “Cold Heart (PANU Remix)” received nominations for Song of The Year and Best Collaboration. Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion released their hit “Sweetest Pie” earlier this spring; the track sired a nomination for Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects and gave Lipa her second mention in the category of Best Collaboration.

Styles is currently conducting his residency at Madison Square Garden; after nine remaining dates, the hugely popular concert series will conclude on 21st September 2022. After the final New York date, Styles’ Love On Tour continues in the US and ends with a fifteen-date residency at California’s Kia Forum. The award winning artist is set to return to the UK next year for a string of live performances; the singer’s tour schedule includes two dates at Wembley Stadium, on 13th and 14th June 2023, with support from Wet Leg.

“Late Night Talking” is currently floating at No.14 in the UK Singles Charts, having previously peaked at No.2, and is Harry’s latest single following his record breaker “As It Was” that stayed at No.1 for a staggering 10 weeks. His new album Harry’s House has been a huge success and the biggest of the year for a British artist so far. With 4 songs concurrently in the top 10 of Billboards Hot 100 at one point (“As It Was“, “Late Night Talking“, “Music For A Sushi Restaurant“, and “Matilda“) he became the first British artist to ever achieve the feat, catapulting Harry’s House into the annuls of history and further cementing Styles’s star power.

In this video, Harry can be seen to wake up confused by the absence of his sleepover compadre to then search for them beneath the sheets in an Alice In Wonderland-esque sequence. The video then darts between various different sets and locations with multiple different partners enjoying Harry’s company in bed. It’s all very tasteful and fun, with the tone of the visuals complimenting the fizzy pop nature of the song nicely. Some particularly memorable sequences involve Harry bombing it down a busy road near Buckingham Palace on a king sized bed with his bandmates, or an incredibly extra spoonathon where 20+ people happily roll around in bed together. The undercurrent is all quite saucy, with many different actors and extras coming together to pull off the free-living sentiment of the video. It’s nice to see people of all different shapes and sizes, genders and ethnicities getting their spotlight too, for a pop video that could have so easily fallen into the glorification of unobtainable standards, there’s a nice level of grounding to the production.

It’s a stellar addition to Harry’s latest album campaign and an obvious reminder as to why he’s such a golden goose at the moment. As for what’s next for the star, the rest of the year already looks pretty filled out, with his world tour taking him across Europe, America, and Australia only finishing up in March 2023, the boy wonder from Cheshire looks to be a busy bee for the foreseeable future. No more UK show dates in as it stands though unfortunately, but as soon as we know, you’ll know.
