English rock band Oasis have paid tribute to Diogo Jota on the opening night of their reunion tour after the Liverpool forward tragically passed away on July 3. Jota, along with his brother, Andre Silva, were sadly killed in a car crash in Zamora, Spain.
Diogo Jota was on his way to Liverpool to report for pre-season training after being advised by doctors not to fly following a recent minor lung surgery. Unfortunately, their Lamborghini veered off the road and caught fire after a tyre blowout. The brothers reportedly passed away at the scene.

All my prayers, thoughts and power to Rute, the kids, the family, the friends and everyone who loved them! Rest in peace - Love J."
