In a surprising turn of events, Noel Gallagher’s ex-wife, Meg Mathews, has come out in support of the former Oasis frontman amid growing backlash over ticket prices for the band’s highly anticipated reunion tour. Gallagher, who has been the subject of criticism from fans upset by the soaring cost of tickets, has found an unlikely ally in Mathews.

Mathews, a prominent figure in the British fashion and media industries, took to social media to express her backing for Gallagher. In a heartfelt post on Instagram, she praised her ex-husband’s talent and the impact Oasis has had on music. “Noel has always been a visionary and a true artist. The success of Oasis was built on his incredible songwriting and passion,” Mathews wrote. She went on to address the controversy surrounding the ticket prices, stating that the value of seeing a legendary band live can often be reflected in ticket costs. “Sometimes we need to remember that we’re talking about a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The music and the memories are worth it.”

The backlash began when the prices for the Oasis reunion tour tickets were announced, with many fans expressing frustration over the high costs. Critics argue that the pricing is out of reach for average concertgoers and reflects a troubling trend in the music industry.

Gallagher has yet to comment publicly on Mathews’ support or the ticketing controversy. However, the endorsement from Mathews adds a personal touch to the debate, highlighting the complexities of the situation and the personal relationships involved.

As the tour draws closer, the debate over ticket prices is likely to continue, but for now, Gallagher’s supporters, including his ex-wife, are rallying behind him, emphasizing the enduring legacy of Oasis and the value of their music.
