What wasn’t factored in was the World Cup and the knock-on effect.“I’m contractually obliged to play the gig no matter what and I’m OK with that – I will watch the game in a San Diego bar.

If City win and [Erling] Haaland scores a hat-trick I’ll be going on in my underpants.”Earlier in the evening, video footage showed Gallagher cheering when Rodri scored the winning goal for City.Gallagher is currently on tour in the US with Garbage before returning for a run of UK and European dates and a headline tour in the winter.
