Liam Gallagher Slams 27-Minute World Cup Halftime Show as 'a Bad Trip'

Summary
Gallagher said the 27-minute World Cup halftime show was "touch n go" and that he "nearly died," escalating his earlier social-media attack on the spectacle.
The Oasis singer called the Coldplay-produced lineup "absolutely insane behavior" and "cuckoo with a capital K" after a set featuring Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira, Burna Boy and BTS.
Bieber was the lone act to win his praise — "Justin rules," Gallagher wrote — while he mocked the broader production, which also included Gustavo Dudamel, a children's choir and the Muppets.
The outburst extends Gallagher's long-running habit of publicly baiting fellow artists, with fans even joking that Oasis would have "smashed" the halftime slot instead.
