Two Doors Down star spotted with Danny Dyer at first night of Oasis reunion tour
TV stars were out in force for the opening night of Oasis' reunion tour in the Welsh capital on Friday night. And one of them was a Scots funny man who was clearly buzzing to be rubbing shoulders with a fellow soap icon.
Liam and Noel Gallagher put their more than decade-long rift aside to entertain a crowd of 75,000 at at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on July 4 in what was the first night of the band's first concert in 16 years.
Among the throng of music lovers was Two Doors Down favourite and Go Radio host Graeme 'Grado' Stevely, who hilariously accosted Eastenders actor Danny Dyer, 47, known for playing Mick Carter in the much-loved soap.
Grado, 37, who played Alan in the BBC sitcom, shared a snap of the pair on his Instagram Story before the comeback gig got underway. Dyer kindly stopped for a selfie with the actor-turned-wrestler before the tunes came on.
The Ayrshire funny man, who also plays PC Hugh McKirdy in Scot Squad, flashed a huge grin as he posed with Dyer, who looked the image of coolness in a navy over-shirt and shades.
Meanwhile, Grado sported a black Adidas ' Oasis ' tracksuit top, Nike shorts, trainers, shades and a bucket hat in ode to frontman Liam's infamous get-up, which is often complete with a Parka jacket.
Grado, who stars alongside the likes of Elaine C. Smith, Taggart's Alex Norton and Only an Excuse's Jonathan Watson in Two Doors Down, also bumped into another famous face - legendary TV and radio presenter Johnny Vaughan.
He shared a selfie with Vaughan with his 91k followers, too, captioned "big wrestlin' fan - interviewed my heroes" alongside a red love heart emoji.
Grado, a super fan of the Wonderwall chanters, had also posted a snap of him and Liam Gallagher on his grid earlier that day, writing: "90 mins fae cardiff comeeeee on".
It came before Oasis paused their Cardiff gig this evening to deliver a moving tribute to Diogo Jota, leaving fans visibly emotional during a stirring performance of Live Forever.
The heartfelt gesture came in the wake of the Liverpool FC star's tragic death in a car crash in Zamora, Spain on Thursday morning, which also claimed the life of his brother, Andre Silva.
The tragic news comes just two weeks after Jota married his long-term girlfriend Rute Cardoso in Porto.
Though known for their fierce allegiance to Manchester City, Noel and Liam put football rivalries aside to honour the Portuguese forward, with red flares lighting up the stadium in homage to his club, Liverpool FC.
The dedication of Live Forever was met with a deafening cheer, as Oasis fans and football supporters alike united in mourning a life cut short.
The Oasis Live '25 tour has officially kicked off with two nights in Cardiff with the '90s Britpop legends then heading to play a whole host of sold-out dates across the UK.
Roughly 210,000 gig-goers are expected to descend upon Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium when they perform on August 8, 9 and 12.

'Drunk' Oasis fan ejected from gig and arrested for assaulting emergency worker
Oasis announced last year that they were finally reuniting for a come-back tour which kicked off last night in Cardiff A drunk Oasis fan was ejected from a gig and arrested for assaulting emergency worker last night. The first show of the reunion tour kicked off last night in Cardiff and there was clearly plenty of drama. Fans gathered from across the globe for the first show of the come-back last night. A video has gone viral online which shows him being carried out by security workers. Police has since released a statement where they have explained where the fan was from and what happened. They said: "A 36-year-old man from Blyth, Northumberland was ejected from the concert by security, he was arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct and assault on an emergency worker and remains in Police custody." Oasis announced last year that they would be embarking on a come-back tour around the globe. Brother Noel and Liam Gallagher decided to put their differences aside and perform together again for the first time since 2009. They played for more than 70,000 fans as they sang some of their biggest hits such as Champagne Supernova and Wonderwall. However, the show had more than one bump in the road as one fan had to be rushed out of the gig in Cardiff on a stretcher after falling ill. There was chaos in the crowd when one ill fan was given medical assistance. There was a medical incident in the crowd and one person had to be taken off on a stretcher. An onlooker revealed that one gig goer was seen being carried off by the medical crew, with people waving to get out of the way. The woman who needed medical help was being guided across the front of the stage in the pit area, right by the barrier. The incident happened during the band's song D'You Know What I Mean, before they went on to sing Stand By Me. Liam and Noel have been open about their fall out over the years but now the brothers have managed to see eye to eye. Ahead of the tour, Noel had given an interview where he discussed the huge universal appeal of Oasis. "A new generation recognises how Oasis wasn't manufactured. It was chaotic, and flawed, and not technically brilliant. We were rough and ready guys from a rehearsal room, and people recognised it," he said. The music star added: "I didn't invent anything. I had good taste in music, a cool record collection, I could write a melody simple enough to make it work, and it was 50% inspiration and 50% copying."

Oasis thank their fans as they close their first gig together in 16 years
Oasis thanked their fans for 'putting up with us over the years', as they closed their first gig together in 16 years. Noel and Liam Gallagher swaggered on to the stage before waving at concertgoers at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, the first stop on their long-awaited worldwide reunion tour. Advertisement The brothers, who had not performed together since their dramatic split in 2009, blasted through their setlist, kicking off with Hello, from their second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? During the gig, the lead singer apologised to fans for how long it had taken for them to reunite. Liam spoke to the audience several times throughout the set, saying: 'Hello people, it's been too long,' before their third song, (What's the Story). Liam Gallagher on stage (Jordan Pettitt/PA) Before launching into Cigarettes And Alcohol, Liam demanded the audience embrace, telling fans to turn around and hug a stranger. Advertisement He said: 'Right then beautiful people, I want to see you all turn around and put your arms round each other. 'And when the tune starts, jump up and f****** down.' Both brothers made joking references to the dynamic pricing scandal, which caused outrage among fans trying to buy tickets for shows in the UK and Ireland, with some standard tickets appearing to jump from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. Advertisement Noel Gallagher (Jordan Pettitt/PA) After Liam walked off stage following Roll With It, Noel took over singing duties for the first time. He quoted the audience a price the gig was worth, before saying: 'It's just gone up.' Later, Liam said: 'Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?' During the final bars of Live Forever, a picture of Diogo Jota, the Liverpool footballer who died in a car accident on Thursday, was displayed, and the crowd cheered and applauded the gesture. Advertisement As they broke into fan-favourite Champagne Supernova, their final song of the evening, the lead singer said: 'Right you beautiful people, this is it. 'Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we know we've been difficult. The crowd waits for Oasis to take to the stage (Jordan Pettitt/PA) 'Champagne Supernova, nice one.' While the brothers shared no banter on stage throughout the gig, they very briefly high-fived and half-hugged each other's shoulders after their closing track. Advertisement Oasis was supported by fellow 90s group Cast and former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft. Cast, an indie rock band from Liverpool, also paid tribute to Diogo Jota, dedicating their top 10 hit Walkaway to the footballer. Ashcroft said he was 'proud to be here on this historic night', before playing many of his biggest songs, finishing with Bittersweet Symphony. Tens of thousands of fans descended on Cardiff ahead of the gig. The stadium is able to host a maximum of 74,500 people. Noel and Liam Gallagher swaggered on to the stage (Jordan Pettitt/PA) On Friday afternoon, every pub and bar along St Mary's Street in the Welsh capital was filled with people waiting for the concert to start, with the majority wearing the Britpop band's merchandise. Fans Lachlan Weekes and Jayden Helm, who spent more than a day travelling from Sydney, Australia, to attend the concert, were among them. Mr Weekes said: 'We've been planning it forever. We always said that if they got back together, we'd be at that first show.' Mr Helm said: 'We've been lifelong fans – we're 22 and 21, so haven't really had a chance to see them before. 'We always said it was worth it to come, we wouldn't miss it for the world. To take time off work to come over here, it's more than worth it.' Lawrence Evans, from just outside Swansea, said his 'life changed' when he started listening to the band, as he then started to play music and write songs. He said: 'They were the band that made me realise how much guitar music meant to me.' His son Jimmy said of the concert: 'The fact that it's in Wales is really special for us. The crowd waits for Oasis to take to the stage (Jordan Pettitt/PA) 'It's the first time I get to see Oasis, (my dad) he's lost count, he's seen them countless times. 'I've been waiting for this day all my life.' Glenn Moss, an Oasis fan from Essex, who regularly gets mistaken for Liam Gallagher, said he started working as an impersonator before the band's reunion, having previously been against the idea. He said: 'I get stopped all the time – as soon as I got here yesterday four people within five minutes stopped me asking if I was him or for a photo.' The reunion announcement came 15 years after Noel quit the Manchester band, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer', after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Oasis will visit Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September. The group will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. A movie, produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, is being made in conjunction with the reunion tour. The band was led by lead guitarist Noel and his brother, lead vocalist Liam, during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. Speaking after the concert, Steve from Hertfordshire, said the band were 'F****** wicked', describing them as 'the best band ever'. Steve said he went to see them in 2006 and they had lived up to his expectations, but admitted to having had quite a few beers before the show. Asked for his favourite part, he said: 'The beginning, the middle, and also the end. 'All of it was fantastic, we had a really good time, we've come all the way from Hertfordshire to see them in Wales.' Morgan, 20, from Wales, said: 'It made my life, honestly, I could get hit by a car and die, and I'd have a smile on my face.' Morgan described himself as an Oasis fan from birth, with his father encouraging him to get into them. 'It was unreal, being in that stadium, I'm still shaking, being here tonight is something else.'
