Liam Gallagher's fiancée Debbie Gwyther is credited with encouraging the Oasis star to 'keep performing' after he went into 'freefall' and nearly quit music
Liam Gallagher 's fiancée Debbie Gwyther has been credited with encouraging the Oasis star to 'keep performing' - ahead of the band's highly-anticipated reunion tour. Debbie, 40, has been in a relationship with the frontman for 10 years, after they met in 2013 when she worked as his personal assistant after taking a job with his then management company Quest. After Liam divorced All Saints singer Nicole Appleton in 2014, the two began a relationship, going on to get engaged in 2019, when Liam proposed during a trip to the Amalfi coast in Italy. The band - which Liam forms with his brother Noel - are back this summer with a series of reunion concerts in the UK and abroad. And now a new book A Sound So Very Loud reveals how Liam was on the verge of moving to Majorca to retire and quit music until Debbie changed his mind. The book was written by journalist Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain, with Ted recall ing how he met Liam in a London pub in 2016 just two years after his group Beady Eye disbanded. Ted writes in the book in an extract shared with The Mirror: 'In the pub, over pints, Liam explained what had been going on for the past two years. He'd spent a while in freefall.' 'He had tumbled out of the bubble to such an extent that for a while, he considered jacking it all in and moving to Majorca, living 'Sexy Beast-style' 'Debbie also firmly reminded him that he was the greatest rock 'n' roll frontman of his generation, he was only 43 and there was lots of mileage left on his engine.' According to the book, Liam then explained: 'She just told me to stop being a d**khead. She got me out the house, introduced me to new people outside my world, got me doing new things.' It comes as Oasis brothers Liam and Noel returned to the stage together for the first time since their reunion tour was announced last year. But rather than being the result of hours of rehearsals ahead of their first show on July 4, the brothers have recreated the look that helped solidify the Britpop movement, with a new campaign for sporting brand Adidas. A brand new image, posted on Adidas' social media on Thursday, showed the duo dressed in specially designed pieces boasting their band's name, and was captioned: 'The band with three stripes.' And in a three-minute advert that was broadcast on Channel 4, the 1994 Oasis anthem Live Forever can be heard, and there are scenes reminiscent of the band's early gigs, with fans dressed in new Adidas pieces boasting the band's famous logo. A tambourine can be heard hitting ice, and Liam's voice says: 'There are days when you are in the zone, you know what I mean? 'You just stand perfectly still while there's all this chaos going on around you. Not feeling the need to join in the madness, just thinking, this is the best feeling in the world. Just absolutely still.' Viewers then see Liam and Noel heading to the stage to play a gig, and the final shot of the ad features the pair reunited and posing together. Taking inspiration from the styles that Oasis immortalised in the 90's - the adidas Originals x Oasis Live '25 collection features a co-branded 26-piece range of timeless adidas staples in various colours. Prior to this campaign, the only images of Liam and Noel had been in a promotional shoot to announce the Oasis tour, sending die-hard fans of the pair into meltdown. This may be no surprise to some, as insiders previously told the Mail that while Liam, 52, and Noel, 57, publicly buried the hatchet on their 15-year feud last year, they are still spending no time in each other's company. It was previously reported in April that Liam and Noel landed a 'multi-million-pound deal' with Adidas, having both previously released collections with the brand. The Oasis Live 25 tour kicks off on 4 July at Cardiff's Principality Stadium before playing sell-out gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park, Wembley Stadium in London, and Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium. The pair will then embark on a global tour taking in shows in Japan, Argentina, the United States and Brazil. Oasis fans had feared they would never see the two brothers in the same room again, after they spectacularly fell out following a backstage fight in Paris in 2009. Noel said at the time: 'I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.' However, last August, Liam and Noel reconciled and announced Oasis were reforming for a string of stadium dates in 2025 which will net the brothers an estimated £100m payday. It will be a much needed boost to Noel's bank balance, after his expensive £20m divorce settlement to ex-wife Sara MacDonald in 2023. In a statement announcing the tour, Oasis said: 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.' But when tickets went on sale the tour was slammed for using 'dynamic pricing' when tickets went on sale for hundreds of pounds last August. Fans were furious after waiting up to 15 hours to get to the front of online queues. Ticketmaster's pricing method was described as 'scandalous' after tickets for the original dates shot up from £148 to £355.

Scary detail in picture as furious Spanish locals unleash on tourists
A scary detail has emerged in images of the anti-tourism protests that unfolded in Europe. One woman was pictured holding up an axe as furious protesters crowded tourists dining outside at a restaurant in Palma, a resort city on the popular Spanish island of Majorca. Police were called to stand guard between the shouting protesters and the diners. The chaos was part of a huge protest day happening across cities in Spain, Italy and Portugal on June 15. Some locals feel foreigners are turning their cities into playgrounds while they are left behind with a housing crisis, rising rents and environmental impacts. In Barcelona, protesters blasted water guns, let off smoke, and slapped stickers on shop fronts and hotels telling tourists to go home. They also taped the entrance of a popular youth hostel. The Balearic Islands Government vice-president Antoni Costa called the behaviour seen in Palma as 'unacceptable' on a local radio station, The Sun reported. But he insisted the angry group only made up a small minority of the Balearic people. Mr Costa said: 'This type of behaviour is not acceptable. This government condemns and rejects the actions of a small minority of people who rebuked tourists who were relaxing on a terrace having a drink or eating.' He added: 'Abandoning tourism would be madness. We're a tourist economy and we're proud to be so. 'I think people are deluding themselves if they think that in the Balearic Islands it's possible to do mostly other things than tourism. 'What guarantees the future of tourism is to taking into account the social and environmental sustainability factor. Looking the other way is not the right way to go. 'We must implement policies that allow us to move from an economy that basically grows in volume to an economy that grows in value.' Ahead of the big day of protests, a group on the island held up a double-decker sightseeing bus, let off flares and hung a banner from the bus. A social media video showed a protester saying they disrupted the tour to denounce tourism and invite everyone to the protest the following day. The June 15 protests — which also took place in San Sebastián, Minorca, Ibiza, Malaga, Granada, Genoa, Naples, Palermo, Milan, Venice and Lisbon — followed a meeting of a coalition of activists called the Southern Europe Network Against Touristification in Barcelona in April. Organisers had said the goal was not to attack or hate on tourists, rather draw attention to the toll mass tourism is taking on their cities, however tourists definitely ended up in the firing line. The problem with mass tourism Popular destinations across the world have been desperately trying to find new ways to cope with a massive boom in tourism post-Covid and avoid the trend dubbed 'overtourism'. New taxes and fees have been introduced, caps have been put on visitor numbers, and new hotels and short-term rentals have been banned. It's not just in Europe either. Japan has urged Australians to explore the country beyond the typical tourist hotspots as visitor numbers reach record highs. About 920,000 Australians visited Japan in 2024, setting a new record. This year we're expected to break the one million mark for the first time. And Japan's advice echoed that of Indonesia in 2023, which pleaded with Aussies to explore more of the country beyond Bali. Speaking to ahead of the fresh wave of protests, Intrepid Travel's Australian managing director Brett Mitchell said he understood the frustrations of people living in these tourist hotspots and getting the balance right was a real issue that needed to be dealt with. The Melbourne-born global company is vocal about the need for a sustainable tourism industry that benefits communities and travellers. Mr Mitchell said it was on everyone, including government, tour operators, cruise lines and airlines, to get around the table and work on solutions for responsible destination management. 'The reality is tourism is not going to slow down, it's a mega trend and it's only going to become bigger and bigger, and if the issue is not addressed it's going to get worse and worse every year,' he said. While tourism is vital to the local economies of these destinations — and more generally, in bringing the world together — Mr Mitchell said at peak times locals were being 'pushed out' or having their 'whole lifestyle completely turned on its head'. 'As a traveller, I think there's a lot of things we can do,' he said. 'Travelling in smaller groups; we always believe there's always a much better experience for locals and also you as a traveller. 'Look at the off seasons or shoulder seasons; it's another really good way to try and avoid crowds. 'Getting off the beaten track; yes go and see these amazing iconic tourist spots but get there early and then move on and go and see other alternative areas and destinations. 'And then we really believe in trying to spend locally, so really try and do your research and make sure the money on the ground when you're spending it in these countries is going to locally owned businesses and supply chains.' Foreigner crackdowns across the globe Countries across the world are continuing to crack down on foreigners. Donald Trump's 'enhanced vetting' for arrivals at US airports appears to be getting the most attention, but there is plenty more happening elsewhere. Italy has changed its citizenship laws, making it significantly harder for Australians (and other foreigners) to get a passport by descent. You can no longer get citizenship if your great-grandparents were born there, it has to be a parent or grandparent. Venice is doubling its entry free for day-trippers this season and expanding the days it applies to. The fee, first introduced a year ago, was 5 euros ($9) and is now 10 euros ($18) for any visitors who don't book more than four days in advance. Spain has ended its 'golden visa' that allowed non-EU citizens to get residency by buying property worth more than 500,000 euros, which closes off a pathway to Spanish citizenship. Meanwhile, the city of Malaga has prohibited new holiday rental properties in 43 neighbourhoods for three years and a court has backed Barcelona's ban on short-term holiday rentals from 2028. The island of Ibiza is now allowing no more than two cruises to be docked at the same time. The UK began requiring Australians, and a bunch of other countries who were previously exempt, to complete an application and pay a fee to enter. The EU will do the same but has delayed implementing the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system for 30 European countries multiple times, with the latest timeline indicating late 2026. Scotland 's capital Edinburgh has revealed next year it will join a number of cities now charging a tourist tax on overnight accommodation. A 5 per cent charge will be added. In Japan, the latest plan for hotspot Kyoto is to raise the historical city's accommodation tax tenfold — from 200-1000 yen ($2 to $11) per night, depending on the price of the lodging, to between 2000 and 10,000 yen ($22 to $115) per night. Meanwhile, the mandatory fee for hiking Mount Fuji has doubled to 4000 yen ($46) per person for the peak season this year. A fee and requirement to book a limited spot was first introduced last year. Nepal has also hiked the permit fee to summit Mount Everest during peak season by 36 per cent. It will now cost $US15,000 ($25,150), up from $US11,000 ($18,450). Last year, notable changes in holiday hotspots included Bali introducing a $15 fee to enter the wildly popular Indonesian island, Greece introducing a cap on visitor numbers to the famed Acropolis in Athens, and Amsterdam in the Netherlands banning new hotels from being built.

Brits outsmart angry anti-tourist protesters with simple tactic after 1000s of sunbeds in Majorca were scrapped
GROUCHY beach bosses are scrapping nearly a quarter of Majorca's sunbeds on popular beaches in a bid to put off tourists. Hundreds of recliners for hire have already gone ahead of this year's summer invasion — in a cull set to see 1,700 shifted from the sands by 2026. 4 4 4 Officials are also planning to take away hundreds of parasols from next year after locals said there was nowhere for them to sunbathe. It comes after Majorcans protested against mass tourism taking over. On Sunday, 10,000 locals joined a march condemning holidaymakers swamping resorts and forcing them out of their homes. Police even scuffled with a menacing crowd who had ringed a popular restaurant to chant at tourist diners. Playa de Palma is reportedly set to lose most sunbeds, from 6,000 to 4,436. But Brits have vowed to carry on sunbathing by simply taking their towels and lying on the sand. Hairdresser Nigel Oxby, 53, from Doncaster, who was holidaying in Playa de Palma with his family, said: 'I'll just come down with my towel if I really want to go to the beach. 'There's tons of other beaches with nothing on them. 'If you're a local and you don't like tourists, then there's other places to go.' He said he does not feel as welcome on the island since the anti-tourism movement took hold, adding: 'There's an undercurrent of not being as welcome from people in the bars and restaurants. The Sun explores Majorca 'When they hear you're English, they're not interested.' Friends Sally Wilford, 50, and Tracey Brown, 56, in Llucmajor, vowed: 'We'll just lie on towels.' Barista Sally insisted the ploy to cut tourism will not work, adding: 'The plane was full on our way out.' Activists are still not satisfied with the beds cut and are threatening to block tourists from beaches. Pere Joan, 26, of Less Tourism, More Life, said: 'If we increase action, then maybe politicians will take the problem seriously.' 4

Shocking moment police scuffle with anti-tourist protesters yelling abuse and waving an AXE at diners in a Majorca restaurant during latest demonstrations aimed at holidaymakers
This is the shocking moment Spanish police scuffled with crowds of anti-tourist protestors who yelled abuse and even waved an axe at holidaymakers sat in a Majorca restaurant. Officers battled to contain the enraged demonstrators who whistled and jeered at tourists desperately trying to enjoy a drink and bite to eat on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, one protestor even held up an axe to indicate the extent of their intense fury towards the diners, who tried their best to stay composed despite the growing crowds. Spanish cops were eventually forced to form a protective shield in front of the holidaymakers who were left stunned and rattled by the ongoing scuffle. The images emerged after thousands of locals marched across Spanish islands on Sunday afternoon demanding that Brits 'go home' as part of widespread protests against so-called 'over tourism '. A large demonstration in Palma de Mallorca saw fed-up locals banging their drums and chanting slogans as tourists desperately attempted to enjoy their evening meals. Beginning at Plaza de España, in the heart of the tourist city, shortly after 6pm, activists claimed that more than 30,000 people took to the streets to voice their frustrations about the damaging impact of holidaymakers. Placards held up by marchers read: 'Tourists go home', 'Mallorca is not for sale' and 'Mallorca is not your cash cow… go home.' Meanwhile, other signs read: 'Your vacations, our anxiety.' Footage showed Brits left visibly shocked by the demonstrations, while other tourists were seen taking refuge on their accommodation balconies. Dozens of placards at the popular demonstration read 'tourists go home… refugees welcome', while a group of teenagers could be heard chanting 'tourists go home!' as they marched through the city. Children taking part in the protest were seen carrying water pistols, with plans to spray holidaymakers as they pass on by. Protesters were heard chanting slogans against Airbnb and 'guiris' - the Spanish slang term used to describe Brits and other foreigners. One placard read: 'Rich foreign property buyers go to hell', while another said: 'Enough is enough.' Local resident Oriol, 40, told MailOnline: 'I'm protesting because I don't want 80% of my money to go on rent. 'I don't want to be forced to speak only English or German in by apartment block. Footage has shown Brits visibly shocked by the demonstrations, while some tourists were seen taking refuge on their accommodation balconies 'I don't want my friends to have to go to the mainland when they have children just to be able to afford a dignified life, a lot of us are fed up.' Alex, 32, has a masters degree and a well-paying job. He told MailOnline: 'I'm here because I cannot afford to buy my own place, I'm having to live with my parents because the rent is also too much. 'There are also far too many people coming to the island for holiday, our resources cannot cope, there needs to be a limit.' The demonstrations took place in major destinations including Barcelona, Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca, San Sebastian, Granada, Tenerife and Malaga. Other European destinations involved in the action include Venice in Italy and Lisbon in Portugal. The action is designed to 'call attention to the social and environmental costs of overtourism.' The protests have been organised by the Southern Europe Network Against Touristification (SET), and are supported by local activist groups. Many locals living in tourist hotspots in Spain believe the industry's model has become too excessive. They say the numbers of visitors continue to increase year by year, creating an increasing demand on local resources. They also complain that the overwhelming amount of tourist activity is causing environmental pollution, particularly in Tenerife, where natural landscapes are not being properly protected by local authorities, while a surge in pleasure boats and sewage waste are polluting the marine environment, they claim. The protesters marched for over a kilometre before gathering in Plaza de Reina near to the seafront. A series of activists gave speeches demanding a 'drastic' change in laws regarding the tourism industry - including banning Airbnb style properties from the island More importantly, the explosion of Airbnb-style properties has seen property prices surge over the past five to 10 years. In holiday hotspots, landlords are choosing to rent to tourists instead of selling or renting to local families. This is stripping housing supply and making the available stock far more expensive and out of reach for a growing number of locals. The protesters marched for over a kilometre before gathering in Plaza de Reina near to the seafront. A series of activists gave speeches demanding a 'drastic' change in laws regarding the tourism industry - including banning Airbnb style properties from the island. Dozens of officers from the armed National Police force were seen escorting the protesters throughout the march, which ended without incident. In Ibiza, another popular Spanish island for British holidaymakers, similar protests took place demanding reductions to tourism. Around 1,000 protesters took part in the march organised by major anti-tourism platform Canviem el Rumb, which has been carrying out demonstrations in the Spanish holiday hotspot over the last year. Security was stepped up to protect tourists from the demonstrators, who left Portal de Ses Taules in the town centre at around 6pm and ended at Plaza de sa Graduada, in front of the courts at 9pm. A woman holds up a placard reading: 'tourists go home… refugees welcome' Major demonstrations also took place across other cities in Spain, including Barcelona, and San Sebastián, as well as other European cities in Portugal and Italy. The protests aim to keep pressure on governments to address the problems generated by tourism, including rising rents, housing shortages and environmental damage. Canviem el Rumb is campaigning for a reduction in tourism, which it claims is having an adverse effect on Ibiza. 'Although each of them will have their own characteristics, they will all jointly critique mass tourism and luxury tourism,' said Pau Kokura, a member of Canviem el Rumb. The group says tourism is only helping the rich whilst the poor in Ibiza suffer, especially due to the lack of affordable housing. It also argues that there is an overabundance of hotel rooms, making it impossible for residents to afford rentals and therefore remain on the island. Agnès Vidal, another member of the organization, said: 'Mass tourism affects many aspects of our daily lives. This time, we want to highlight five key areas: the first, the right to water, because we have villages that dedicate themselves to irrigating water when the people of the island reduce their consumption. 'The second, the right to have a property in good condition. Third, we demand decent work, because people who work, especially during the summer, do so in terrible conditions in many sectors. Protesters hold a banner reading 'Mallorca is not for sale' during a demonstration to protest against the massification of tourism and housing prices on the island of Mallorca in Palma de Mallorca on May 25, 2024 'We also demand the right to rest, which is often not possible with the mega-clubs. The fifth block is housing. We have more and more people living in substandard housing around Ibiza Town. And that's why we have to find a solution.' Activists believe the current tourism model is 'unsustainable' and pushing the islands toward collapse. They want to limit the number of tourists visiting the islands, ban new hotel construction and introduce a tougher tourist tax, among other measures. But Brits holidaying in Tenerife previously told MailOnline the locals 'should be careful what they wish for.' A poll by Majorca Daily Bulletin found that around 44 per cent of people will now think twice about booking a holiday on the popular island after huge demonstrations over mass tourism. Paul Charles, CEO of travel consultancy The PC Agency warned: 'If this survey is accurate, local protestors should be careful what they wish for. 'The Majorcan (and other local islands) economy relies heavily on tourism to create jobs and bring money into the region. 'It would be a disaster for the area if the protests, however valid, cut off the flow of visitors and reduce income. An aerial view of people gathering to protest soaring housing prices as part of a nationwide demonstration organized by tenant unions under the slogan 'End the Housing Business' in Madrid, Spain on April 05, 2025 A large number of people filled the streets of Palma de Mallorca, in a march against housing prices and the impact of tourism on the residents of the Balearic islands, in Palma, Mallorca, Spain, April 5 'The solution is to work with local authorities on spreading the number of visitors into the shoulder seasons, so there is a flow of tourists throughout the year rather than be concentrated over the summer.' One regular visitor to Tenerife told MailOnline last month echoed the same sentiment. Paul Nixon, 60, from Staffordshire said: 'I think they need to be careful what they wish for, the island is so dependent on tourism. 'I think bookings are down already to be honest, it seems quieter this year.

Forgotten Love Island stars who returned to their day jobs after leaving the villa from a roofer to estate agent
FOR many hopefuls stepping into the Love Island villa, the ultimate prize isn't just romance, but a golden ticket to lasting fame and fortune. However, life after Majorca often proves far different - with influencer freebies and big-money brand deals quickly fading for most contestants. 19 As a result, fans are beginning to see former Islanders return to their pre-villa careers. For many, the stability of a regular job outweighs the fleeting glitz and glamour of reality telly. Here, The Sun takes a look at those who've chosen a normal job over the pursuit of fame. Billy Brown 19 19 Fans of the hit ITV2 dating show saw Billy Brown enter the TV villa back in 2022. The hunk was one of the bombshells to arrive during Love Island 's infamous Casar Amor week. Unfortunately for Billy his time was short-lived and he was dumped from the villa two weeks after his arrival. Two years on, Billy has now revealed he's back working his old job as a roofer. Now 24, he took to social media to share an update with fans on a construction site as he wrote "pushing on". He continued on camera: "Another day, doing the house. "Have a look, pushing on now, the floor joints are going how it's looking from above. "Next stage is the floor and then the top steels." The hunk is also on top of his fitness and regularly posts snaps of him playing football to his 117,000 followers on Instagram. Hugo Hammond Hugo Hammond, 28, first shot to prominence when he competed in the seventh series of Love Island. He appeared on the long-running dating show in 2021 where he was dumped from the villa after 38 days on the show. But three years following his television stint, the star made a huge personal announcement. The former reality contestant announced that he is joining property development company Pearcroft Developments. His new firm specialises in building environmentally friendly luxury homes that provide sustainable living. Hugo took to social media to announce his new personal news and career move. He was beaming as he posed in a sleek grey kitchen, dressed in a navy polo top with complementary trousers. The star wrote: "There we land. After a whirlwind few years consisting of teaching, TV and travel. "I'm Excited to announce that i will be joining the @pearcroft developments investment team, where i will be continuing to build my network and driving sustainable development. Hugo added: "If you want to know more about #greeninvesting and #sustainableliving, drop me a message." Munveer Jabbal His failure to find love in the villa last summer proved to be a blessing in disguise. In a series that was dominated by Joey Essex's surprise arrival, Munveer's screen time was limited - culminating in a dumping on day 10. Not long after the show, Munveer returned to his work in recruitment, specifically the tech sector, which he now has a decade of experience in. But having had a taste of the Love Island life, he's craving more time in the public eye. "I've had a taste for it now and I feel like where I had it just taken away from me ever so quickly," he says. "I feel like I've got so much more to offer. I loved it. So if there's more opportunities out there, like your Made In Chelsea, The Traitors or wherever it is, I'm definitely up for it." Dr Alex George 19 Dr Alex appeared on Love Island back in 2018. He failed to find love on the show, after coupling up with Samira Mighty, Ellie Brown and Alexandra Cane. Before the ITV2 show he was an A&E doctor and after Love Island he continued to work at Lewisham Hospital. The star worked on the frontline during the Covid pandemic between 2020 and 2021. Since his stint on the programme, Alex has done plenty of work for mental health charities, after his brother Llyr committed suicide when he was 19. Alex is also the UK Youth Mental Health Ambassador within the Department for Education. He's also appeared on TV shows such as Good Morning Britain and Lorraine to talk about the important topics. Georgia Townend 19 Georgia was a bombshell during the ninths series of Love Island in 2021. The beauty only lasted a day in the villa and failed to win of the heart of Hugo Hammond. Before the villa, Georgia worked as a marketing executive at supermarket Lidl - and she returned shortly after. She currently works as a marketing manager at M&S. Anna Vakili 19 19 Anna appeared in Love Island 2019 alongside the likes of Maura Higgins, Molly Mae Hague and Lucie Donlan. She originally coupled up with Sherif Lanre, but later found a connection with Jordan Hames. However she was dumped days before the final. Anna has a huge following on social media and loves to share sizzling snaps on her Instagram. But during the pandemic, she returned to the pharmacy as a pharmacist. Anna confessed: "First day back working as a Pharmacist since leaving Love Island. It's been almost a whole year! Wow can't believe how fast it's gone. 'Wasn't really planning on registering yet but with everything that's going on it felt wrong not to. "We can all fight this together. Stay safe. Stay home. Save lives.' Malin Andersson 19 Malin shot to fame in 2016 while on Love Island. She coupled up with Rykard Jenkins and then Terry Walsh - who moved on very quickly from her when she was dumped from the show. Before the programme Malin worked as a elderly and palliative carer - and just like Alex and Anna - she returned to her old job during the years of the pandemic. She confessed: "I can't sit at home on my own anymore knowing I have training within the sector." Rachel Fenton Rachel appeared on the same series as Malin all those years ago. Rykard fell head over heels for the beauty and when she was dumped on day 15, he decided to go with her. The pair didn't last long... Similar to the other Islanders working in the health service, she returned to the clinic as a orthopaedic clinical nurse during Covid. Greg O'Shea 19 Greg entered as a bombshell and went on to win the 2019 series with Amber Gill. Two years prior he graduated from University of Limerick with a law degree, but always had a passion for rugby. He still plays the sport now.
