A Scottish dad who bumped into Liam Gallagher while out with his family said the singer was ‘warm and funny’.
The Oasis frontman was out and about in the grounds of The Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder on Sunday, enjoying some well-deserved downtime after two nights at Murrayfield. Jonathan Dunn was walking with his two children when he spotted Liam from a distance, who was with his fiance and manager Debbie Gwyther.
Jonathan, along with his kids Harrison and Saffie, said Liam was ‘not in the slightest bit dismissive’ and chatted to the family before taking a few pictures.
The dad had been at Murryfield on Friday, August 8 for the first night of Oasis in Edinburgh. After telling Liam he was there, the songwriter replied: “Youse lot are off yer f***in heads.”
The Gallagher brothers will return to the stage at Murrayfield on Tuesday night for their last performance in the capital.

Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Jonathan told us: “I live in Auchterarder and went up to Gleneagles yesterday afternoon with my two kids, Harrison, 14, and Saffie, 7.
“We were walking on the lawn and I said to Harrison ‘I’m sure that’s Liam Gallagher over there?’ I’ve been a huge fan for 30 years and seen them countless times over the years, including twice already on this tour.
“He was with his fiance and manager Debbie, I asked if I could please bother him for a photo and he couldn’t have been more friendly. I told him I was at Murrayfield on Friday and he said, ‘youse lot are off yer f***in heads!’
“I introduced him to Harrison who said to him, ‘Dad took me to Heaton Park a couple of weeks ago, it was insane!’ To which he replied, ‘it’s you lot who are insane, I didn’t do anything!’
“He then said to Harrison, ‘come on, you get in for a photo too’ and gave him a first pump. They say don’t meet your hero’s, well if your hero is Liam Gallagher then I say you absolutely have to!
“He was absolutely amazing! Warm, funny, not in the slightest bit dismissive. Shout out to Debbie too.”

While Liam might think the Edinburgh crowds are ‘off their heads’, he remains seething with the local council and is ‘still waiting for an apology’.
While on stage on Friday, the frontman ranted: “One second, where do I start here with everyone at the city council, the f*****g s***s.
“£1 billion pounds we’re bringing to this city over the next three days. £1billion. But you won’t see any of it.”
