An Oasis fan who has flown Half the World Away to watch the band play live in Canada on Sunday ended up two members of the band en route to Toronto.

Rob Murray, 50 from Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, said the “dream trip” became extra special when he got chatting with lead guitarist, Gem Archer, at a restaurant in Heathrow.

And he also had a selfie with Oasis co-founder and guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs after bumping into him at an airport luggage carousel.

Rob said Archer spoke highly of Oasis’s opening reunion tour gig in Cardiff and how he also said he had enjoyed performing with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds at Cardiff Castle in 2019.

“It was amazing being in his company for 20 minutes,” said Rob who explained to Archer that he was going to see their gig in Toronto, Ontario, and stay with a friend who had flown over to watch their Wembley gig.

“I could have talked all things Oasis, High Flying Birds and guitars all day – this is one time I wish my flight had been delayed.”

Rob said he asked Archer what would happen after the Oasis tour and “if there was new material on the way”.

“He replied, as things stand, after this tour, ‘it’s back to the day job’ – recording with High Flying Birds.”
