The crowds wept and prayed, police used their song lyrics for briefings and a vicar gave a sermon about brotherly forgiveness. The directors of Don\u2019t Look Back in Anger relive their wildest ride ever<\/p>\n
On 4 July last year, Oasis were all set to start the first gig of their hugely anticipated comeback, 16 years since the band imploded after Liam Gallagher swung a guitar in the direction of brother Noel\u2019s head backstage in Paris. However, just 20 minutes before showtime, there was no sign of the singer. Some 74,500 fans in Cardiff\u2019s Principality Stadium were going crazy, while Noel was left impatiently pacing around the venue\u2019s loading bay, presumably wondering if everything was about to fall apart again.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen the monitor I was watching all this on suddenly cut out,\u201d says Will Lovelace, the director who was filming the comeback. \u201cWhen it came back to life, suddenly Liam and Noel were there chatting. Then they walked out to this eruption.\u201d Later, Noel is filmed expressing incredulity that his long-estranged younger sibling could \u201cskip the final rehearsal, then just rock up, grab my hand, and I\u2019m like, \u2018What the fuck?\u2019 And off he goes, sounding like he\u2019s 30 years younger. And I\u2019m like, \u2018You absolute mad cunt.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
