And after all, will the Oasis reunion tour continue into 2026?
Vocalist Liam Gallagher appeared to tease that future shows were being planned when he declared “See you next year” during Oasis’ final show at London’s Wembley Stadium in September. Now, though, Liam has taken to social media to clarify his comments.
“You will see me next year and the year after and so on just not sure yet if it’ll be with oasis,” Liam writes. “We need to sit down and discuss these things.”
He adds, “If it was all up to me then you know we’d be touring till the day we die as it’s the best thing in the world but UNFORTUNATELY it’s not.”
When asked if his “See you next year” declaration got him into any trouble in the Oasis camp, Liam replies, “There was a few tuts and raised eyebrows.”
Of course, Liam did previously say that Oasis had recorded a new album upon reuniting, only to later clarify that he was joking, so who knows? Maybe he’s joking about this, too.
The Oasis reunion tour launched in July, officially ending the feud between Liam and his brother and bandmate, Noel Gallagher. The outing hit three U.S. stadiums: Chicago’s Soldier Field, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.
The last show on Oasis’ current live schedule is set for Sunday in Brazil.
The family of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, who was reported dead while aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship on Saturday, says they will remember her as a happy, bubbly, straight-A student with a bright future ahead. Kepner family
Kepner’s family asked mourners to wear colors, instead of black, to the celebration of life event “in honor of Anna’s bright and beautiful soul.” Instead of flowers at the service, the family said Kepner’s friends are encouraged to leave flowers on the teenager’s car.
The FBI is investigating Kepner’s Nov. 8 death on the Carnival Horizon. The Miami-Dade medical examiner has still not specified a cause or manner of death.
Kepner was found dead under a bed, wrapped in a blanket and covered by life vests, according to a security source briefed on the investigation.
Investigators are also looking at other possibilities, including a medical emergency or an overdose, the security source said.
A filing in an unrelated family court matter noted Kepner’s stepsibling could face charges. Kepner’s stepmother — who was also on the cruise, along with her children and Kepner’s father — requested a delay in her custody hearing, saying, “The Respondent has been advised through discussions with FBI investigators and her attorneys, that a criminal case may be initiated against one of the minor children.”
Kepner was set to graduate from high school in May and was interested in joining the military, her family said.
“She loved being around people. She had that type of energy that just drew you in with her smile and the way she carried herself,” her family said in a statement.
“She filled the world with laughter, love, and light that reached everyone around her,” her obituary said. “Anna was pure energy: bubbly, funny, outgoing, and completely herself.”

(NEW YORK) — Stocks rallied in early trading on Thursday, just hours after blockbuster earnings from chip giant Nvidia and a stronger-than-expected jobs report.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped nearly 600 points, or 1.2%, while the S&P 500 climbed 1.8%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq soared 2.5%.
Shares of Nvidia, the $4.7 trillion juggernaut behind many of the chips fueling artificial-intelligence products, surged more than 4%.
A stock market selloff over recent days underscored the uncertainty looming over the economy as some investors warned of an AI bubble. The earnings blowout from Nvidia late Wednesday appeared to rebuke such concerns, however, reviving enthusiasm for an AI trade that has propelled much of the market gains this year.
The S&P 500 has soared 15% in 2025, while the Dow has climbed 10%. The Nasdaq has increased 19% this year.
Investors also appeared to draw optimism from a jobs report on Thursday morning, which showed far more hiring than economists’ expected. The fresh data defied a hiring slowdown that took hold over the summer.
The U.S. added 119,000 jobs in September, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That figure marked an acceleration from the previous month, and it exceeded an average of nearly 100,000 jobs added per month over the first half of 2025.
The report included a downward revision for the month of August, however, slashing performance from 22,000 jobs gained that month to 4,000 jobs lost.
An earnings release from Walmart on Thursday morning also exceeded revenue expectations, offering some reassurance about the health of consumer spending.
Inflation has picked up in recent months while hiring has ratcheted down, posing a risk of an economic double-whammy known as “stagflation.”
Those economic conditions have put the Federal Reserve in a bind, since the central bank must balance a dual mandate to keep inflation under control and maximize employment.
In recent months, concern has tilted toward strain in the labor market, prompting the central bank to reduce interest rates a quarter of a percentage point at each of its last two meetings.
On Thursday morning, markets appeared to digest the news as favorable toward a potential interest rate cut at the Fed’s meeting next month. The odds of a quarter-point rate cut ticked up from 33% on Wednesday afternoon to 43% on Thursday morning, according to the CME FedWatch Tool, a measure of market sentiment.
The xx has released a deluxe version of their 2009 self-titled debut album.
The expanded set includes five bonus tracks, including three covers. It’s out now on digital outlets and will be released on vinyl Dec. 5.
“Going back to 2009 has brought up so many memories – it really does feel like another world,” The xx says in a Facebook post. “This album means a lot to us, and we hope it still means something to you too. Thank you for being here, always.”
The album xx includes the trio’s breakout single, “Crystalised,” as well as fan-favorites “Islands” and “VCR.”
The xx has since released two more albums, 2012’s Coexist and 2017’s I See You, while the band’s three members —Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim and Jamie xx — have all put out solo material. They shared in March that they were back in the studio together and are set to perform at the Coachella and Kilby Block Party festivals in 2026.

One ongoing gag in the new Disney+/Hulu film A Very Jonas Christmas Movie is that Kevin Jonas keeps telling his brothers that he wants to sing lead on a song. Now, his dream has come true in real life.
Kevin has finally released “Changing,” his first official solo single, after debuting it live at Boston’s Fenway Park back in August. In a statement about the song, Kevin says, “To me, it’s evocative of going through the motions with life and continuously trying to improve yourself. Life keeps changing, and the song is a positive reinforcement of that idea.”
Kevin sings in the song, “This coffee’s cold like these same old conversations/So I keep on changing, oh, I keep on changing/Maybe I’m jaded/Maybe I’m chasing the highs to escape/So I keep changing.”
“It says, ‘Don’t let things get stale,’ which is embodied in the ‘coffee’s cold’ line,” Kevin notes in his statement. “You need to know when to move onto the next thing and you also need to keep moving no matter what the situation or relationship is.”
He adds on Instagram, “My first solo single is finally here. Words can’t describe how much this song means to me. Being able to share it with you all now has never felt more right. I’m so grateful to everyone who helped bring this song to life and to all of you for listening, supporting, and being part of this journey with me.”

Mick Jagger just went back to school.
The Rolling Stones frontman paid a visit to The Mick Jagger Centre at Dartford Grammar School in Kent, England, on Wednesday as part of the Centre’s 25th anniversary celebration. Jagger went to Dartford Grammar before going on to study at the London School of Economics.
“It was a great privilege for me to visit my old school today and meet some of the inspiring young students,” Jagger wrote on Instagram alongside pictures and video of the visit. “I really enjoyed getting to hear them sing and play!”
The school’s headmaster Julian Metcalf called Jagger’s visit “very special and icing on the cake.”
Jagger has been funding a project, called Red Rooster, since 2003 that covers weekly music tuition for over 1,200 local children. The students performed for him during his visit, and video posted to Instagram shows that he joined in on a performance of The Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”
Jagger also got a chance to talk to the students and was given a tour of the school. He was even presented a trophy to the Dartford Grammar basketball team.

Cynthia Erivo has made her first public comments regarding the Nov. 13 incident in which Ariana Grande was accosted by an online prankster during the Wicked:For Good premiere in Singapore.
Erivo told Savannah Guthrie on NBC’s Today show Thursday why she stepped between the man, Johnson Wen, and her co-star Grande, and physically pulled him off her before security took him away.
“I was really thinking, I just wanted to make sure my friend was safe,” Erivo told Guthrie. “I’m sure he didn’t mean us harm, but I just, you never know with those things and I wanted to make sure that she was okay. That was my first instinct.”
Erivo went on to add of her relationship with Grande, “This is a long-lasting friendship for us. We’re kind of like sisters at this moment. And I think we’ve both learned from each other and given each other some really, really beautiful gifts. We’ve really looked after each other through this.”
As previously reported, Wen was sentenced to nine days in jail by a Singapore court after pleading guilty to public nuisance charges.

(WASHINGTON) — Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral will be held in Washington on Thursday, with several high-profile political figures set to be at the service for the man considered one of the most influential vice presidents in U.S. history.
Former President Joe Biden plans to attend, a spokesperson confirmed to ABC News.
The funeral is being held at Washington National Cathedral and is set to start at 11 a.m. ET.
Seen arriving for the service were former Vice President Al Gore, Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Republican Rep. Lindsey Graham, Bill Kristol, former Trump national security adviser John Bolton.
A White House official confirmed to ABC News that President Donald Trump was not invited to the funeral. Vice President JD Vance was also not invited, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News.
Former President George W. Bush, who Cheney served for two terms, will offer a tribute at the service. According to the cathedral’s program, Cheney’s daughter, former congresswoman Liz Cheney, and his grandchildren will also give remarks.
Cheney died on Nov. 3 at the age of 84 due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.
“Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,” the family said in a statement at the time. “We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.”
A polarizing and powerful figure, Cheney worked for four decades in Washington. He served in Congress, was secretary of defense under President George H.W. Bush and then vice president under President George W. Bush.
He played a leading role in the response to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, including the war on terror and invasion of Iraq.
Bush, in a statement after Cheney’s death, called Cheney “a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position he held.”
Washington National Cathedral, situated just miles north of the White House, has been the site of several state funerals for former presidents, including Jimmy Carter, Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush.
After news of Cheney’s death earlier this month, the White House lowered flags but made no major proclamation.
President Trump was silent on Cheney’s death. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Trump was “aware” of his passing.
Trump and Cheney have a history of tensions, as Cheney became a blunt critic of Trump following his push to deny the 2020 election results and the pro-Trump mob attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Cheney, a lifelong conservative voice, endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump in 2024. Explaining his decision, Cheney said “there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”
Trump responded at the time by calling Cheney an “irrelevant RINO” and “King of Endless, Nonsensical Wars, wasting Lives and Trillions of Dollars.”

(WASHINGTON) — Three Chinese nationals were charged with smuggling Nvidia and HP products to China, according to charges unsealed by the Justice Department on Thursday.
Starting in September of 2023, Hon Ning Ho, Brian Raymond, Cham Li and Jing Chen allegedly exported chips to China.
The Justice Department alleges that the three Chinese nationals and one American were involved in a scheme to ship these chips to third party countries — Thailand and Malaysia — that would then be shipped to China. The men allegedly set up a shell company to purchase these products.
The Commerce Department has banned China from acquiring these chips.
The Justice Department also alleges that the men discussed ways to “evade United States export laws and regulations.”
In exchange for these chips, the men received “kickbacks” for their alleged work.
In total, the men allegedly smuggled hundreds chips to China.

(WASHINGTON) —Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, of Florida, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of stealing $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds, which she is accused of laundering to support her 2021 congressional campaign.
The indictment was announced by the Justice Department on Wednesday.
The indictment alleges Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, and her brother, Edwin Cherfilus, 51, received a $5 million overpayment in FEMA funds directed to their family health care company in connection with a contract for COVID-19 vaccination staffing in 2021.
Afterward, Cherfilus-McCormick and other co-defendants allegedly conspired to use the overpaid funds to benefit her campaign by routing it through multiple accounts to disguise its source, according to the DOJ.
They further are alleged to have arranged a series of straw donors that included their friends and relatives to funnel the COVID-19 contract money in the form of donations to her campaign.
“Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement announcing the indictment. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain. We will follow the facts in this case and deliver justice.”
If convicted, Cherfilus-McCormick faces a maximum sentence of up to 53 years in prison.
She did not immediately have an attorney listed representing her on her case docket as of Wednesday evening.
The federal investigation into Cherfilus-McCormick dates back to the Biden administration, multiple current and former administration officials told ABC News.
The House Ethics Committee said publicly in January 2025 that it was also investigating Cherfilus-McCormick after receiving a referral from Office of Congressional Ethics in September 2023.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday evening, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Cherfilus-Mccormick is “innocent until proven guilty,” when asked for his reaction to the indictment and said he had yet to speak with her but planned to do so.
Cherfilus-Mccormick will “take leave” from her position as ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa “while this matter is ongoing,” Jeffries’ spokesperson Christie Stephenson said in a statement.
House Republican Rep. Greg Steube of Florida said Wednesday he will file a resolution Thursday morning to censure his Democratic counterpart.
The resolution would also remove the congresswoman for all her committee assignments, including Foreign Affairs and Veterans Affairs committees.
“This is one of the most egregious abuses of public trust I have ever seen,” Steube said in a statement on X. “Stealing $5 million in taxpayer disaster funds from FEMA of all places is beyond indefensible. Millions of Floridians have relied on FEMA after devastating hurricanes, and that money was supposed to help real disaster victims.”
