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!"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
