Liam Gallagher made a surprise appearance at tonight's One Love Manchester benefit at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester, England. Once Liam hit the stage hopes were high that brother Noel would join him for at least one song, but alas, hopes and dreams were dashed when it was Chris Martin -- instead of Noel -- who joined Liam onstage for the final song "Live Forever." Though Noel's gotten attacked on social media for not showing up to perform, it's highly possible the idea of an Oasis reunion was shot down by everyone involved as to not overshadow the true meaning of the benefit concert. Maybe.
Update (6/5): Noel was reportedly out of the country on a "longstanding family trip."
Liam, who flew in from Germany earlier in the day in order to take part in the concert had some choice words for Noel on Twitter:
Noels out of the fucking country weren't we all love get on a fucking plane and play your tunes for the kids you sad fuck— Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) June 5, 2017

Update 6/5: Fan uploads have been removed from You Tube by the BBC's request, however the BBC granted Ariana Grande permission to upload the full concert on her YT channel so you can view it below (I have the video queued up to begin at Liam's set). The BBC also uploaded the performance of "Live Together" and that is also posted below:
You can also view a portion of Liam performing at the Pinkpop Festival. The performance includes two new songs "Greedy Soul" and "Bold" (note: video is taken from the live webstream and isn't so good at times, but the audio is excellent.)
Everyone's face watching Chris Martin come out instead of Noel #OneLoveMachester #Oasis pic.twitter.com/p44jZiHEKl— Daniel Peters (@danielpeters44) June 4, 2017
