Pitbull covered Oasis‘ ‘Wonderwall’ at his record-breaking BST Hyde Park gig – check out footage below.
Mr Worldwide played a giant concert in London’s Hyde Park on Friday (July 10), where he and the crowd set the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps.
During the gig, Pitbull paid homage to England’s football team with a cover of ‘Wonderwall’. “Being here I thought, what was the best way to represent you all,” he explained. “And a good friend of mine said, I think you should do this record. So, let’s not just talk about it, let’s do it…”
The classic 1995 Oasis track has become the unofficial soundtrack for the England team at the World Cup this year, with the players coming together at the end of their recent matches to sing it with fans in the crowd.
Pitbull’s version came ahead of England’s 2-1 victory against Norway last night (July 11), which has sent them to the World Cup semi-final. They will now go on to face Argentina in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday (July 15).
England’s squad have also belted it after victories against Croatia, Panama and DR Congo, and recently made headlines after their 3-2 win over Mexico – where Kane sang so loudly with fans that he briefly lost his voice. The Mexico celebrations also saw Jordan Henderson injure his wrist in a freak accident while running to join the team as they sang.
Noel Gallagher quickly threw his support behind the track becoming England’s 2026 World Cup anthem, saying the song “belongs to the people”. He also admitted that he “couldn’t believe” that Jude Bellingham really knew the lyrics.
Liam Gallagher also reacted to the news that ‘Wonderwall’ had seen a 50 per cent spike in streams on Spotify in the UK thanks to the World Cup, and has now said that he’s prepared to fly out to New York stadium and sing the song live if England makes it to the final.
After one fan reached out and said that it was “mandatory” that the singer “fly out there and sing ‘Wonderwall’ live on the pitch” if Thomas Tuchel’s side make it all the way, Liam gave a reply suggesting that he was already thinking along the same lines: “We’ll see, I’m ready.”
Liam has also predicted that England will win the World Cup, saying they’ve “gotta make it happen”.
“And it goes to show you if you believe it, you dream it, you can achieve it. We want to say thank you. You know why, Baldies? ‘Cause we motherfucking did it! So not only are we here to congratulate, we’re here to celebrate.”
