While thousands of fans looked on as Oasis performed their iconic songs one fan noticed that Liam Gallagher had paid tribute to his beloved dog Buttons while on stage
As the stage lit up at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff to mark the first of many concerts of the Oasis world tour, many were left thrilled to see the Gallagher brothers reunite to perform their classic tracks. But one eagle-eyed fan noticed that Liam had made an effort to share his special moment with one of his “family members”, after placing them on the big screen behind him – his beloved dog Buttons.
The frontman of Oasis, 52, had an image of his pet pooch who he rescued from the jungle in Thailand in full view on the big screen behind him. Liam adopted Buttons in 2023 and the pair have seemingly built up an unbreakable bond ever since.
Taking to X, Niall Harbison, who had originally rescued Button from the jungle, wrote: “Most people were probably looking at @liamgallagher and @oasis last night on stage.”
He added: “Look a little closer and you’ll spot a dog called Buttons. Her’s is a remarkable story… “
He continued: “Button was a little puppy who walked into our sanctuary in Thailand in the middle of the jungle just as it was getting built. She had been abandoned. She kept coming back daily for food and hoping for company.”
After rescuing Buttons, Niall put the pooch up for adoption only to find Liam and his partner Debbie were interested in taking Buttons home with them back to the UK.
Niall continued: “Little did I know but Liam and his partner Debbie had been following. After a long process she was adopted to them in the UK. Buttons has grown into a beloved member of the family and landed on her paws.”
He went on to say: “Liam has been a big support of @wearehappydoggo and donated his globe from the last tour to raise funds. I don’t think buttons realizes her dad is a rock star. She just loves her humans.”
Niall concluded his post saying: “So if you are wondering why there is a dog on the @oasis screens now you know. Well done buttons. I think you can say you’ve made it when your dad has you on the big screen.”
At the time, Niall had posted a number of images of Liam bonding with Buttons while in Thailand. In one picture shared on social media, Liam is seen dressed in a navy blue cagoule as he lovingly placed one hand under Button’s chin while the other gently held Buttons’ paw.
In another image from 2023, Liam is seen playing with Buttons as he held his hand up in the air instructing Buttons to jump up and catch whatever he held in his hand.
Ahead of the reunion tour, Liam has steered clear of alcohol and partying in order to give fans the best show of their lives.
But it wasn’t that long ago the rock and roll star had vowed to maintain his boozy lifestyle until he was 80 years old.
In a Sky documentary Liam Gallagher: 48 Hours At Rockfield, he said: “I am not into yoga and I don’t eat tofu. I drink lager and I like to have a good time. I don’t punish myself into being some super-skinny dude.”
He added: “I am what I am. I am not a 50-year-old going round preaching. I will be like this when I am f**king 80, hopefully.”
