Post Malone helps Glasgow singer buy a house after hearing him sing in bar

POST Malone has helped a Scottish singer buy a house after he heard him performing in a popular Glasgow bar.

Gregor Hunter Coleman, who often sings in Glasgow's Wunderbar in the city centre, just finished playing his set at the bar when the US singer – who played at the SSE Hydro over the weekend – invited him over.

The Glasgow singer then went to Post Malone’s official gig after-party in nightclub Kong.

Coleman called the meeting “life changing” in a post on Instagram, saying: "Never thought whilst heading out the door with my guitar on Friday night for my gig @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.."

Coleman later told Capital Scotland some more details from the night: "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!'.

"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: "Did he buy you a house?"

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