Orlando Bloom shrugs off Katy Perry split by singing his heart out at Oasis gig

Orlando Bloom at Heaton Park is not a sight we expected to see this weekend.

But by the looks of things, there’s nowhere else Orlando would rather have been than singing his heart out at an Oasis gig.

Brushing off his recent personal drama after splitting from pop star Katy Perry, the actor, 48, had the time of his life at the Gallagher brothers’ second home show in Manchester.

While he’s used to spending much of his time in the States to co-parent daughter Daisy Dove, the English movie star unleashed his truest, fullest Brit on Saturday night.

Taking to Instagram with a warning message before spamming his seven million followers with content, he wrote: ‘If you don’t like @oasis swipe on- if you wanna see me run through some of my favourite karaoke numbers for laughs here you are lol’.

What followed was an onslaught of videos from the gig, which was part of Liam and Noel’s worldwide reunion tour, marking their first time sharing the stage since disbanding in 2009.

Orlando was in his absolute element in the VIP area, surrounded by the Oasis kids, including Liam’s sons Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24.

The Lord of the Rings star belted out the band’s biggest hits, such as Don’t Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, and Champagne Supernova. 

He jumped around without a care in the world and panned across the sold-out crowd sporting Oasis merch, arms in the air.

There didn’t appear to be a lyric Orlando didn’t know, proving he could’ve been a backing singer while screaming along to Take Me Away, Half the World Away, and Live Forever.

At the end of the night, he added: ‘My 16 year old self who was at Knebworth just let it all hang out in Manchester what a night’.

Ahead of the gig, Orlando let his fans know exactly how he was feeling, posting a video with the caption from his journey: ‘Road to Oasis. Could not be more f’in excited’.

‘It’s gonna be karaoke all night,’ he later declared, beaming at the camera.

Orlando’s love life has been a hot topic of conversation lately, as it was recently confirmed that he and fiancée Katy, 40, were no longer together romantically.

After much speculation, the pair finally issued a statement via their representatives, telling Us Weekly: ‘Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting.’

They continued: ‘They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is—and always will be—raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.’

Orlando and Katy got together in 2016, and after a brief split and reconciliation, they got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019 and welcomed Daisy four years ago.

Things appear to be pretty civil between the exes now, though, as they were photographed together just days after their split was confirmed, partying with Jeff and Lauren Bezos on their honeymoon.

Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando had already attended the wedding itself alone, while Katy was touring in Australia.

The Roar hitmaker did, however, previously attend Lauren’s star-studded bachelorette party in Paris, having also been a passenger alongside her for their brief Blue Origin trip to space earlier in the year.

While it had been claimed Katy felt hurt by Orlando partying with fellow A-listers, such as Sydney Sweeney and Kim Kardashian, at the Bezos nuptials, sources have insisted there’s no real bad blood.

Ahead of the split statement being made public, an insider said: ‘Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable.

‘It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is, of course, upset but is relieved not to have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.’

The Teenage Dream singer was previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012. In a now-famously viral moment, the Get Him to the Greek actor told Katy he wanted a divorce via text message before she was due on stage.

Meanwhile, she and Orlando, who was married to Miranda Kerr from 2010 to 2013, were initially due to marry in Japan in 2020 with 150 guests in attendance.

Alas, they postponed the celebrations due to the pandemic.

Speaking in 2022, Katy admitted that they were still get to decide on a location, telling the Kyle & Jackie O radio show: ‘It’s a destination location that, like, you know, we’re still trying for it to work out.

‘But every couple of months it’s like, “New variant! New variant! New variant!”‘
