Ten yrs ago, Liam Gallagher almost moved to Spain. Money was tight, he had no band or record deal and was spending too much time down the boozer. Now look at him. Here's the story of his comeback, told by those who know. @liamgallagher @Telegraph @oasis

Here is my list of the 10 best Oasis songs, ahead of tonight's reunion show in Cardiff, for @Telegraph. What do you think? Any omissions (some might say there's a massive hit missing). Have a look and post thoughts beneath the piece.

A Nirvana reunion, a regal Joni Mitchell, a Stevie Wonder and Sting duet, Lady Gaga doing Freddie Mercury, a film about rescuing dogs, a sombre Katy Perry… Here’s my review of the epic six-hour FireAid gig in LA. It ended at 8am. (Was streamed, didn’t go) https://t.co/NJ2IpFfT43

As new doc about The Beatles’ arrival in US in 1964 lands on Disney+, I had a look at the band’s broader relationship with USA, including the “more popular than Jesus” furore that erupted just two years later. It changed everything. @thebeatles @telegraph https://t.co/zTi3xRmhwa

I wrote a tribute to Quincy Jones for the Standard. From Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles and Jacko to The Italian Job and In Cold Blood... A dizzying polymath with a seven-decade career. We won't see his like again. @EveningStandard
