NEWS OF THE WEEK: Liam Gallagher compares World Cup halftime show to 'a bad trip'

On X he made his feelings about the 11-minute, Super Bowl-style extravaganza clear. "This is like a bad trip," he tweeted, adding, "It's a good job I've got my spiritual socks on or that halftime entertainment could have tipped me over the edge." The likes of Madonna, Justin Bieber, BTS, Shakira and the Muppets all performed under one roof at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday night, in a show curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin. The halftime break stretched to just over 27 minutes as a result.
