Oasis Dedicates One Classic Song to Diogo Jota, Following His Death

On July 3, Diogo Jota, the beloved Portuguese footballer, was tragically killed in a car accident along with his brother, André Silva. A forward for Liverpool, Jota was a popular soccer player even among those who didn't necessarily root for that particular team. Case in point, the Gallagher brothers of the recently reformed rock band, Oasis, have long been supporters of Manchester City. But, because game recognizes game, Liam and Noel Gallagher took a moment to call special attention to the tragic death of Jota during the kick-off of their massive reunion tour on July 4, 2025.

While Oasis played many hits from their popular 1990s albums (and a few songs from elsewhere in their canon), they also dedicated one song in particular to the memory of Jota. And that song was the 1994 hit single, "Live Forever."

As fans pointed out on Instagram, this was a touching moment at the concert. As one fan wrote in a comment: "Class from the lads. When sadness hits, teams don’t matter, football is united."

Sadly, Jota was only 28. His funeral, which was held in Portugal on Saturday, July 5, was attended by his wife, Rute Cardoso. The couple had been married for less than a month. Cardoso was seen crying inconsolably at the funeral.
