Paul McCartney was filmed recording Noel Gallagher as the Oasis co‑founder performed “Little By Little” during the band’s Live ’25 reunion show at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California.
The Daily Mail reported that McCartney, 83, stood and took video on his phone while the Gallagher brothers played to a star‑studded crowd on Saturday. Also in attendance were actors Salma Hayek and Kristen Stewart, singer Rita Ora and director Taika Waititi, among other celebrities. Stewart attended with her wife, screenwriter Dylan Meyer.
The show at the iconic Pasadena venue is part of Oasis’s Live ’25 reunion tour, which the band launched after announcing last year that the Gallagher brothers would play together again following their 2009 split. The Daily Mail said McCartney was among a group of high‑profile attendees who watched the set from the stadium, while other outlets noted the brothers have kept interactions offstage limited since the reunion began.
Reports circulating in British media say Noel Gallagher has been writing new material while on the road. An insider quoted by The Mirror told the paper that Noel, who also fronts High Flying Birds, has penned a number of new songs but is undecided whether they will become a solo project or feature as part of a new Oasis album with brother Liam Gallagher on vocals. The Mirror source described Noel as being “in an absolutely fine mood” and “strumming some new tunes” in his dressing room, but added that no studio return for Oasis has been agreed.
The reunion has prompted widespread speculation about future shows and extensions of the comeback. The Sun reported that the brothers have received offers to extend the reunion into 2026, including proposals for multiple nights at Knebworth House to mark the 30th anniversary of their 1996 concerts. Fan forums have also circulated unverified posters suggesting a potential residency at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium. People close to the band told reporters that no deals have been signed and that there are no concrete plans in place for next year.
Oasis’s return to the stage has drawn intense media and fan attention, with some outlets estimating substantial financial rewards should the run continue. Reports have suggested the Gallagher brothers could each stand to earn significant sums if they maintain the tour and add dates, though representatives for the band have not confirmed specific figures.
On stage, the brothers have largely focused on delivering their catalog to large audiences rather than engaging in public disputes. The reunion shows have been described in press coverage as a cultural event that has reignited interest in the 1990s Britpop era and generated fresh debate about whether the group will record new material together.
Representatives for Noel Gallagher did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the songwriting reports, and Daily Mail coverage provided the initial account of the celebrity attendance at the Pasadena concert. Promoters and people close to the band have cautioned that while interest in further dates remains high, decisions about recordings or expanded tours will rest with the Gallaghers themselves.
The Rose Bowl performance continued a high‑profile U.S. leg of the Live ’25 tour as Oasis moves through a string of large venues. Observers and fans will be watching whether the brothers choose to capitalise on renewed commercial momentum with new recordings or concentrate on completing the current reunion schedule.
