Paramedics performed CPR on a man before he was airlifted to hospital, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “We can confirm that emergency services attended a report of concern for the safety of a man in Billinge this morning (Saturday 28 September).”

“At around 10.20am, officers were called to Douglas Avenue to reports that a man in his 50s had suffered a cardiac arrest. Paramedics attended and he was sadly pronounced deceased at the scene. The man’s death is not being treated as suspicious and his next of kin have been informed.”

OASIS are set to announce their North America tour dates on Monday after they shared a new post.

It comes after The Sun revealed that Noel and Liam Gallagher are going to release more reunion American tour dates next year.

Fans went wild when Noel and Liam announced their reunion shows in the UK and Ireland in 2025 back in August.

Many fans are hoping that it is true and cannot wait to get their hands on tickets.

Now, the rockers have taken to their official X account to share four photographs of billboards of the band in major North American cities, alongside the caption: “MONDAY 8AM ET #OasisLive25”.

There has been no further information about the dates just yet.

Oasis last toured in North America back in 2008 – when they played in Virginia as part of their tour for their seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul.

Earlier this week, it was leaked online by a reputable industry website that the band was set to play US and Canada shows as part of their 2025 reunion tour.

One fan said on Reddit: “If the leaks from earlier last month are right, they will be playing a limited stadium run across North America.”

They pointed out that there are plenty of venues that the brothers can do their thing on stage at.

They said that there are different areas of 60k+ capacity concerts in Mexico City, New York City, Los Angeles and Toronto.

One replied: “If the leaks are correct, my plan (hoping the universe won’t laugh at it!) is to try for Boston tickets.”

Another added: “I’d think the cities on the “leak” make the most sense… NYC Toronto Chicago LA Mexico City.”

We reported that Oasis are expected to play in New York and Los Angeles, as well as Chicago and Boston.

A source told us: “Noel and Liam will be announcing their shows in the US on Friday.

“It’s going to be a handful of massive dates in major cities.

“Brits living in New York and Los Angeles should have a decent chance at getting themselves a ticket.

“Oasis don’t want a repeat of the issues they had with tickets for their home gigs but they are expecting the same huge demand they saw here.”

It comes after they dropped a huge hint about the America tour.

The band’s official X account shared the exciting news by tweeting: “Oasis will tour the UK & Ireland in summer 2025! Tickets go on sale this Saturday 31st August. IRE 8am IST UK 9am BST.”

The page added: “These dates will be the band’s exclusive European appearances.”

Their post hinted that they could have had plans to perform elsewhere – including the US.

Oasis have sold out seven nights at Wembley, as well as gigs in Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin.

Liam recently returned to the stage at the Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois double clash over the weekend.

He was forced to hit back after fans slammed his performance at Wembley – which left some demanding a refund for the tour next year.

He shared a picture of a bird with the words: “You will not stop me from singing my song.

“I will sing it forever.”

COPS have charged four people with murder after a 19-year-old boy was fatally knifed in the chest.

Officers responded to calls from a flat in Lefroy Road, Norwich at 10.40pm on Saturday, September 21.

Cops have charged four people in connection with his murder[/caption]

A murder investigation was launched when they tragically discovered the body of 19-year-old Kalvin Taylor.

A post mortem determined his cause of death was a single stab would to the chest.

It is believed Kalvin’s body lay for eight days before being found.

In a heartbreaking tribute, the teen’s mother said: “It is so devastating what has happened to my son.

“It has left our family in a million pieces which we will never recover from.

“Kalvin was a son, a grandson, a brother, a cousin and a friend to us all.

“We will remember and miss Kalvin all the days of our life. 

“We love you Kalvin, rest in heavenly peace until we meet again.”

Norfolk Police have now charged Leon Bangura, 22, Adam Dugdale, 55, Carrie-Anne Hall, 51, and Matthew Holmes, 51, in connection with Kalvin’s murder.

Leon Bangura, of Old Kent Road, London, has been charged with murder, threatening another person with an offensive weapon, possession of a bladed article, possession with intent to supply, and being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

Dugdale, of Shorncliffe Avenue, Norwich, and Hall, of Lodge Breck, Norwich, have also been charged with murder.

Holmes, of Bowthorpe Road, Norwich, is charged with assisting an offender.

The four remain in custody and are set to appear at Norwich Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.

Meanwhile a teenage boy arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder has been released on police bail.

A spokesperson for Norfolk Police said: “Four people have this evening (Saturday 28 September 2024) been charged in connection with the murder of a 19-year-old man at a flat in Norwich.

“Police were called to a ground floor flat in Lefroy Road on Saturday 21 September at 10.40pm where the body of a teenage man was discovered.

“A murder investigation was launched and a total of five arrests were made in the days following.

“A Home Office post-mortem examination confirmed the man’s death was consistent with a single stab wound to the chest.”

IT’S hard work deciding which smartphone is best for the price.

Naturally, we all want to save money but how cheap can you go before the quality is really bad?

Samsung still makes budget-friendly phones too[/caption]

I’m The Sun’s main Android smartphone reviewer and have tried everything from big brands like Samsung, all the way to forgotten names such as Motorola, as well as newer players including Xiaomi and Honor.

iPhone may get all the attention but there is no disputing it’s mega expensive.

If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly smartphone, check out some of these I’ve tested this year.

They’re all less than £500.

3. Nothing Phone 2a

Nothing is pretty new to the smartphone scene, having only launched in October 2020.

In March this year, the company released a new budget version, called the Nothing Phone 2a.

What’s instantly alluring about Nothing smartphones is that they have an alternative design with flashing lights on the back for things like notifications.

The Nothing Phone 2a’s battery measures in at 5,000mAh – which is technically larger than any iPhone.

Nothing claims you can get up to two days of use out of it.

When I tested it earlier this year, I managed to get a good two days out of it after some general usage watching videos, browsing the web and light gaming.

Performance-wise, it also held up well.

What I really love about the Nothing Phone 2a is its price.

It launched at £319 but you can now get the phone even lower, at £289.

2. Samsung Galaxy A55

While the Galaxy S24, Fold 6 and Flip 6 get all the attention, Samsung still has some cheaper phones around.

But the Samsung Galaxy A55 certainly doesn’t look cheap with a bold, slick design and glass back – as well as the display.

I was wowed by the standard of the camera on this handset for the price, with stunning shots during the day and in darker conditions.

You also get access to perks like free Samsung TV Plus streaming as a little bonus.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 launched at £439 earlier this year but now it starts from £364.

Watch the video at the top of this page for a glimpse of the Samsung Galaxy A55.

1. Google Pixel 8a

The Google Pixel has always been a favourite of mine and the 8a is no exception.

You really can’t go wrong with the camera capabilities on this beast.

Especially with genuinely useful features like Magic Editor and Best Take for your pics too.

Google also makes it even more great value by committing to provide seven years of Android updates.

The Google Pixel 8a starts from £499.

HARRY KANE is a worry for Bayern Munich’s Champions League showdown with Aston Villa next week.

The Bavarians travel to Villa Park on Wednesday for the crunch clash.

But Kane, 31, had to be subbed four minutes before the end of his side’s 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.

Amine Adli caught the England skipper on the ankle to leave the him writhing on the turf in agony.

The injury will be a concern for Bayern boss Vincent Kompany who has already seen Kane register 15 goal involvements in just seven games this season.

Kompany told the media after the game of his concern at losing Kane to injury.

He said: “Hopefully it’s nothing serious. I’m not a doctor but I hope he can play against Aston Villa on Wednesday.”

While Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl fuelled the concern when he hinted that it must be a nasty knock of Kane has had to leave the pitch.

He added: “If Harry goes off the pitch, then it’s something. Now I hope he’s made of sturdy English wood.”

However, Bayern Munich fans may be able to breathe a sigh of relief after Kane gave an upbeat update in the mixed zone after the clash.

The former Tottenham star said: “Sometimes there have been red cards for something like that.

“I’m OK, but it’s a bit sore. I’ll check it tomorrow, but I think it’s OK.

“It doesn’t feel too bad at the moment. We’ll assess that in the next few days, but I don’t think I’ll be out for long.”

Bayern’s goalless draw with Leverkusen means they remain top of the Bundesliga table with 13 points.

Kompany’s side are yet to lose a game since the Belgian’s arrival from Burnley this summer.
