Noel Gallagher's ex Meg Mathews breaks silence after early Oasis gig exit

Meg Mathews has set the record straight after leaving Oasis' gig early on Friday night. The former IT girl, who split up with Noel Gallagher 25 years ago after welcoming their daughter, Anais, into the world, was one of the legions of loyal fans, who had rocked up to see the band perform.

However, when Noel launched into his epic Wonderwall, Meg was seen leaving the stadium, with some speculating it was because the song, which Noel had written for Meg, would be hard to hear.

Breaking her silence on the reports, Meg has taken to Instagram, insisting there is no drama, posting: "I just want to set it straight. I left before the encore to get my car. I have left 100s of stadiums at the end and it's been carnage.

"And yes, I heard Wonderwall loud and clear outside. Thank you. I was not being rude or bored."

Meg concerned fans when she left early before one of the band's most iconic tracks was played. Anais' mum, who was married to Noel from 1997 until 2001, was seen walking out of the reunion gig ahead of the band playing Wonderwall. The song may be a difficult listen for the former IT girl, who Noel originally claimed inspired the song.

Noel had originally claimed he'd written it on a rainy Tuesday night for his then girlfriend. Back in 1996, he said: "It's about my girlfriend, Meg Mathews. She had a company which folded and she was feeling a bit sorry for herself.

"The sentiment is that there was no point in her feeling down, she has to sort my life out for me because I was in bits at the time."

Before the gig started, Meg shared a secret clip of her daughter, Anais, and Noel Gallagher, seconds before the Oasis star stepped out on stage on Friday. After an endlessly long 16 years, Oasis fans were in their element in South Wales when Noel reunited with his brother, Liam, at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in a gig, which brought the house down.

Proud daughter, Anais, had VIP access to the concert and was seen hugging her dad seconds before Noel went out on stage. In a clip shared by mum, Meg, Anais suddenly comes into shot as her dad prepares to send the 70,000-strong crowd into a frenzy.

Quickly hugging the Wonderwall star before disappearing into the crowd, Anais, looks delighted with life as proud mum, Meg, captions the clip: "Love you Nai Nai."

Anais, 25, looked like she was having a ball at the concert, which fans described as 'euphoric', when she posted a snap of herself with a pint of beer, wearing an Oasis shirt with the caption: "It's good to be back."

A string of famous faces were spotted in the crowd as Oasis reunited in a comeback tour, which has been on the top of fans' wish lists for more than a decade.

The band were seen walking onto the stage with their song 'F**king in the Bushes' before they then started belting out 'Hello'. The crowd welcomed them with cheers at the sold out gig, which kicks off a global tour for the Don't Look Back In Anger stars.

In the audience was the likes of EastEnders star Danny Dyer as well as Line Of Duty actress Vicky McClure. Vernon Kay also posed for pictures outside the Principality Stadium.

Following the gig after an epic two and a half hours on stage alongside brother, Noel, Liam told the crowd: "Thank you, beautiful people. This is it. Nice one for putting up with us over the years. We are hard work, we get it."
