    The Aquaman and Game Of Thrones star was spotted in various places around the UK city over the weekend, when he flew over to celebrate his new premium spirits range, Meili Vodka, launching on this side of the pond.

    After being spotted by fans at Old Trafford – celebrating as Manchester United secured a 3-2 victory over Fulham – Momoa also made stops at local venues including the acclaimed Fenix restaurant, the Chinese restaurant Tattu, and The Blues Kitchen on Quay Street.

    One of the most memorable visits, however, was when he went to the Louis venue at Hardman Square, and took to the stage with his band ÖOF TATATÁ for an intense performance full of covers.

    Joined by bandmates Mike Hayes and Kenny Dale, Momoa took on bass duties and performed covers of songs by huge names in rock, including Metallica, Jimi Hendrix, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was when the band broke out an unexpected cover of one of Manchester’s own, though, that really got fans talking.

    Introducing it as a “song from Manchester”, Momoa and co. put their own spin on Oasis’ ‘Fuckin’ In The Bushes’, and quipped to the audience that “if it sucks” it was because they “learned it right now”.

    Unsurprisingly, the appearance from the A Minecraft Movie star was quick to get people talking online, and fans seemed to give the cover their seal of approval.

    “Call me the ending of Raiders of the Lost Ark cos my face has melted clean off,” one joked on Reddit after seeing the cover, while another agreed and called it the “most random brilliant thing I’ve seen on the internet today”.

    “It’s wild that Oasis is getting the recognition they deserved in the States so late in the game. Has any UK band ever had a late-career breakthrough like this,” another wrote, adding: “I mean, they were still pretty big in the US back in the 90s, but they seem even bigger now.”

    Others joked about how Momoa performed the Oasis song while wearing a Manchester United jersey – which is the rival team of Manchester City, which Liam and Noel Gallagher have supported for years. “Don’t let Liam and Noel see this,” one person quipped.
