Liam Gallagher, a member of the British band Oasis, faced criticism after posting the word “Chingchon” on his X account on July 1 without explanation. The word is widely recognized as a slur that mocks Chinese and Asian speech and has been used to demean Asian communities around the world.

Liam Gallagher made a cheeky reference about high ticket prices for Oasis’ reunion tour during opening night in the U.K. Liam, 52, joked about the expensive tickets for the show onstage as he and his brother Noel Gallagher, 58, performed together for the first time in 16 years in Cardiff, Wales, on Friday, July 4.

In Cardiff, Liam and Noel Gallagher created historic images: arm in arm, they appeared before their fans at the first Oasis concert in 16 years. To maintain this harmony between the brothers, they are reportedly staying in different hotels during the tour.
