Liam Gallagher has vowed to dedicate a song to a beloved Ayr dad after a heartfelt request video request was sent to him.

The former Oasis frontman announced he would belt out Champagne Supernova in memory of James McGarrie known as Mij, who took his own life in 2019.

The rockstar’s tweet came just after Ayrshire Live told how sister Christine McGarrie created a moving Tik Tok video asking the iconic singer to pay tribute in honour of her mega-fan brother.
