Noel Gallagher's Ex Meg Mathews Reveals Real Reason She Left Oasis Gig Early
Noel Gallagher’s ex-wife Meg Mathews has spoken out after her decision to leave Oasis’ comeback show early on Friday night ended up making headlines.
On Friday night, Meg was in attendance when Noel and his brother Liam Gallagher performed their first gig as Oasis since 2009, kicking off a much-hyped reunion tour.
However, The Mirror reported that she left the concert during the encore, shortly before the brothers performed Wonderwall, a song for which she is widely believed to have been the inspiration.
While much was made in the tabloid press about the fact Meg chose this moment as her cue to leave the gig, she has since insisted she simply wanted to duck out before the end to avoid the “carnage” of leaving the stadium at the same time as everyone else.
Posting on Instagram the following morning, Meg echoed the sentiments of critics by giving the gig “five stars” and saying that she “loved every minute”.
“It was worth the countdown,” she added, before turning her attention to “all the f**king papers” commenting on her early exit.
Meg wrote: “[I left during] the encore as I have left many a stadium at the end and it’s carnage. But yes, I could hear Wonderwall as I walked to my car!”
“Happy now?” she added.
Noel and Meg were married for four years between 1997 and 2001, and share a daughter, 25-year-old Anaïs Gallagher.
He also has two sons, 17-year-old Donovan and 14-year-old Sonny, with his second wife, Sara McDonald, from whom he split up in 2022.
Oasis kicked off their comeback tour with two shows in Cardiff on Friday and Saturday, with dates currently scheduled in Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin across July and August.
The brothers will then take the tour overseas to Canada, the USA and Mexico, before arriving in South America and Asia later in the year.
