Richard Ashcroft hilariously pokes fun at viral Oasis fan caught using Shazam to identify Bitter Sweet Symphony


The Verve frontman, 53, has been opening for Liam and Noel Gallagher on their eagerly-awaited reunion tour and winning rave reviews every night.

Richard Ashcroft had the crowd at Heaton Park howling with laughter on Friday, after he referenced the now-viral clip of an Oasis fan struggling to to identify one of his greatest hits. However, at the band's opening gig at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff last month, one fan was caught unawares when the Verve began their iconic hit, Bitter Sweet Symphony, while the rest of 75,000-strong crowd sang along.
