Noel Gallagher speech We Are Manchester: ’When you sing we win...’ 09/09/2017

“If anyone doubts it -- and some people do -- that Manchester is the greatest city in England, I was sat at home watching Sky News, watching the minute’s silence after what happened here, and one girl broke the silence,” Gallagher told the crowd, recalling the moment a woman began spontaneously singing “Don’t Look Back in Anger” at a vigil for the bomb victims. “I don’t know whether she’s here tonight, but I love you,” the singer said, introducing the song that he said had “become some sort of anthem for defiance.” “Every time you sing, we win. So sing like you’ve never sang before,” implored Gallagher, who also played Oasis classics “Half the World Away,” “Wonderwall,” “Little By Little” and “Champagne Supernova,” alongside solo hits “Everybody’s on the Run,” “Lock All the Doors” and “AKA… What A Life!” backed by his band the High Flying Birds.
