Liam Gallagher made the second stop on his Definitely Maybe 30th anniversary tour with a date at Utilita Arena Cardiff on Monday (3rd June).

The former Oasis rocker kept his setlist the same, choosing to cover the Noel-sung B-side Half The World Away, while calling out his "little" brother.

Introducing the track to the crowd, he said: "Right then. So I'm gonna dedicate this next tune to my little brother, who's still playing hard to get, but that's all right."

"But word on the street was he was spotted in a really posh chocolate shop," he added. "One of those Thorntons... buying some chocolates, so you never know. D'you know what I mean?"

Watch his dedication and see him perform the track in a video shared on YouTube by Kev Lew, below:
