Oasis have caused a ‘riot’ after they reportedly forced BBC bosses to take down a World Cup tribute video which featured celebrities singing the Gallagher brothers’ hit song Wonderwall. Featuring stars including Stephen Fry, Maya Jama, Claudia Winkleman and Micah Richards, the BBC had hoped the clip would go viral after the song became synonymous with England’s wins during the tournament. Some fans described the footage as ‘excruciating’ and likened it to a ‘car crash’ after catching a glimpse before the clip was taken down. And it has now been revealed that Liam and Noel Gallagher’s legal team reportedly demanded its removal as the BBC hadn’t sought the correct permissions to use it on social media. A source said: ‘The BBC dropped an enormous ball with the Oasis video as it caused a riot.’BBC Sport saw all the traction Wonderwall was getting and decided to spend a lot of time, and a fair bit of cash, getting all these stars to sing or speak along. Their idea was it would go viral but instead Oasis’s legal team shot it down.’They told The Sun: ‘Apparently the BBC didn’t seek the correct permissions to use the song on social media so they didn’t have a leg to stand on.’ Liam and Noel Gallagher reportedly forced the BBC to take down a ‘excruciating’ celebrity Wonderwall World Cup tribute after failing to seek correct permissions Featuring stars including Maya Jama and Claudia Winkleman, the BBC had hoped the clip would go viral after the song became synonymous with England’s wins during the tournamentThe project was a huge waste of time and money for the television company.
