At their penultimate reunion show in São Paulo, Brazil, on Saturday night (November 22), Oasis honored the late Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield, who passed away on Thursday (Nov. 20) at the age of 63. “We want to dedicate this to our dear friend, our hero, the one and only Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield,” singer Liam Gallagher said before the band launched into “Live Forever.” Toward the end of the song, an image of Mani was displayed on a giant video screen behind them, which the band respectfully all turned to face in honor of the late musician. Before they kicked into their next song, Gallagher introduced it by saying, “Mani can have this one as well, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Star.’” On Friday, guitarist Noel Gallagher shared a candid photo of Mani on Instagram, captioning the post, “RIP Brother. It was a pleasure to have known you,” echoing his brother’s earlier social media tribute where Liam wrote, “IN TOTAL SHOCK AND ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED ON HEARING THE NEWS ABOUT MANI MY HERO RIP RKID.” The band’s reunion tour concluded the following night at Estadio MorumBIS, with Liam recently ruling out a 2026 tour but leaving a 2027 return open as a possibility.
