Glasgow singer given house deposit by Post Malone after hearing him sing in city bar

Singer Post Malone has given one lucky Glaswegian help towards a new home after he heard him perform at a bar in the city centre.

Gregor Hunter Coleman, who often sings in Glasgow's Wunderbar, finished playing his set when he was called over to meet the US singer, who had just finished his gig at Glasgow's SSE Hydro.

On Instagram, Gregor shared a photo of himself and the US singer with the local calling it a "life changing experience."

The caption reads: "Never thought whilst heading out the door with my guitar on Friday night for my gig at @wunderbarglasgow that I’d meet @postmalone and have such a life changing experience. The hours spent with this gent chatting and jamming was life changing in itself, not to mention what followed. This could be my time to hit the ground running.."

And as it turns out, it really was a life changing moment for the Glaswegian with him later revealing the singer had bought him a home, reports the Daily Record.

Speaking to Capital Scotland about that night, he ended up at the official gig after party in nightclub Kong in Royal Exchange Square and sang alongside the rapper for hours.

Talking to the radio hosts, Fat and Tallia, Gregor recalled: "Basically I finished my set, went over and managed to speak to him and, meanwhile, loads of folk were crowding round and trying to get a photo with him and meet him and he called me through so the security took me through, he shook my hand and gave me a hug and he was like 'that was amazing!'."

He continued: "Then they were going round to Kong, to a more private bar, and he asked me to go round to sing with him and I was like 'of course yeah!' and he then asked me how much I would charge to sing with him, and I was like, 'well nothing because you're Post Malone!'

"And I couldn't believe it so he offered me financial help to go and sing with him which I thought was crazy because I was telling him I was saving for a house, so he helped me out with that, which was just crazy! So I was round singing songs with him for hours."

Presenter Fat Brestovci then asked what he meant by financial help, saying: "Did he buy you a house?"

And Gregor replied: "Well I've got a deposit there, put it that way, which is crazy, at first I didn't believe him!"

Gregor isn't the only Scot the Sunflower singer left delighted at the weekend as he brought one superfan on to the stage at the Hydro.

Talking exclusively to the Daily Record, Jack, who is a huge Post Malone fan, said: "The only way I can describe it would probably be, the most terrifying thing that I never wanted to end.

"I took a wee sign with me asking to play it, earlier on in the show he clocked it and gave me a wee thumbs.

"When it was time for the song, he came over and waved me up"Post Malone welcomed Jack, to the stage to play the guitar while he lit up a cigarette for Stay.

After the track, the pair removed their shirts for a hug before swapping tops and posing for a selfie.

Speaking to fans at the Hydro the rapper said: "I wanted to say, I ran around a little bit last night and uh, maybe a little too much, but I wanted to say that the people here are some of the most kind and beautiful people in the f***ing universe.

“So thank you guys so very f***ing much ladies and gentlemen.

“As soon as I stepped down I felt f***ing right at home, so cheers Glasgow, thank you so very f***ing much."
