The band are the latest in a long line of artists to encourage their fans to wash their hands, with Liam Gallagher sharing a series of videos which saw some of the biggest Oasis tracks given a coronavirus-themed update.

The first video saw Gallagher upgrade the 1995 hit Wonderwall, which he changed to "WONDERWASH", while another clip saw him give his 1994 Supersonic banger the puntastic title of "SOAPERSONIC".

Added to that, the likes of Coldplay's Chris Martin and John Legend have played live gigs on Instagram, U2 legend Bono has shared a song which he was inspired to write due to the pandemic, and Gal Gadot enlisted her celebrity friends to help her sing John Lennon's Imagine.
