EXCLUSIVE: Noel Gallagher’s ex Meg Mathews cheered him on from the audience during his Oasis comeback gig in Cardiff, but she left early – before one of the band’s more painful songs
Meg Mathews left Oasis’ Cardiff gig early this evening – as they returned for a special and heartbreaking song. Meg had been on hand to cheer on her ex-husband, Noel Gallagher, on the first night of the tour.
She was spotted arriving today, with a source telling the Mirror: “After posting about her ex-husband for weeks, Meg Mathews had a prime seat for watching the band. She was in great spirits before the set, watching Richard Ashcroft with pals.”
However, she left before the encore and was seen departing the show before the band came back to sing some of their biggest songs including Don’t Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova.
Wonderwall may be a sore subject for Meg, as Noel had originally claimed he’d written it on a rainy Tuesday night for his girlfriend. He said back in 1996: “It’s about my girlfriend, Meg Mathews. She had a company which folded and she was feeling a bit sorry for herself. The sentiment is that there was no point in her feeling down, she has to sort my life out for me because I’m in bits had the time.”
However, in 2002, Noel did a complete U-turn and insisted Wonderwall actually had nothing to do with Meg. He said: “The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it, and how do you tell your missus it’s not about her once she’s read it is? It’s a song about an imaginary friend who’s gonna come and save you from yourself.”
Meg even commented about the backtrack. In 2005, she said: “All of a sudden, when I was getting divorced, he said it wasn’t about me, so I don’t really understand.”
It comes just days after Meg was forced to deny that she and Noel had decided to give their relationship another go.
She had been sharing throwback snaps on social media, prompting fans to believe that they were back together following the breakdown of Noel’s second marriage.

Alongside the pics, fans have been desperate to see them reunite. One wrote in the comments: “Please tell us you are back together again,” whilst another added: “So nice to see you still love and support your ex. So healthy to have that bond. Especially when you have a beautiful daughter together.”
A third shared: “Meg these pics are the best!! You’ll always have a bond, you share an amazing child who is a credit to you both,” with a fourth writing: “The best era, and the best couple, wish you two got back together.” But Meg said it was a firm “no” when asked if she and Noel were an item again.
