Seventy thousand people stood shoulder to shoulder at Mayfield Stadium, waiting for Oasis to play their classics, when Liam Gallagher stopped the roar of the crowd with a single line. He dedicated Stand By Me to Susan Boyle, a moment so unexpected it became the kind of story fans tell for years.
What made it sweeter was Susan’s reaction. Instead of a formal thank-you, she posted a rare photo of herself in an Oasis T-shirt and bucket hat, flashing two thumbs up with a grin that said it all. She wrote, “Thanks so much for the dedication Liam Gallagher, you’ve made this old girl’s day,” and even joked about joining the “pausing” fan dance.

That warm energy carried into another moment from the same night, when Liam’s voice filled the stadium and he said, “This one’s for Susan Boyle.” It was quick and casual, but for Susan it was a nod from music royalty. For her fans, it was proof of the respect she has earned across worlds of music.
