Oasis take football too seriously

Oasis delayed a London gig until the Liverpool and AC Milan Champions League final was over, then opened with You'll Never Walk Alone.

Oasis paid tribute to Liverpool FC at a concert in London on Wednesday night following the club's European Championship success. The band refused to start the gig until the game, which ran to extra time and then finished with a penalty shootout, was over at 10:30pm. When the Gallaghers finally made it on to the stage, they began the set with Liverpool anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. Liam also dedicated 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' to fans of AC Milan.

Elsewhere in Oasis news, the currently rather loquacious Damon Albarn has admitted a growing respect for his former Britpop rivals, apparently telling The Daily Star "All credit to Oasis - the way they've managed to keep themselves together. They're threatening to be the Rolling Stones."
