Legendary British band Oasis paid an emotional tribute to the late footballer Diogo Jota during their huge concert at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Friday night - the first return to the stage for brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher in 16 years.

In a touching moment during their performance, the band played the famous 1994 hit, "Live Forever," in honor of the Portuguese striker, who lost his life in a tragic car accident the day before.

A large photo of Jota was displayed on a giant screen in front of 75 attendees, causing a wave of emotions among the audience.

The song "Live Forever" is one of the most famous by the band "Oasis" and is often used as an anthem in honor of deceased legends.

It was named "the best song of all time" in 2006.

In the past, this song has been dedicated to figures such as John Lennon, Elvis Presley and most recently Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, died instantly in the tragic accident in Zamora, Spain, when their rented Lamborghini supercar suffered a suspected tire blowout and burst into flames.

They were travelling to Santander to catch the ferry to England, as Jota had been advised not to fly following lung surgery./Express newspaper/
