A packed stadium in Edinburgh sings at full volume, and then something unexpected happens. Liam Gallagher looks out at the crowd, grins, and pauses. He dedicates Stand By Me to Susan Boyle. The crowd is caught off guard by the unlikely shout out. You can almost picture Susan hearing the news later, eyes wide in surprise, laughing to herself, maybe even spinning around her kitchen with a little dance.
The full story landed on August 12, 2025, at Murrayfield. Oasis had just wrapped their third sold-out night in the city when Liam stopped to make the dedication before the first chord. Photos from the gig hit his Instagram within hours, sending fans into a frenzy. By the next day, Susan had replied with her own post. Wearing an Oasis bucket hat and a band tee, she smiled wide and thanked Liam for the gesture. In her note, she said he had made this old girl’s day and joked about doing a wee bit of the poznan at Wembley in September. The exchange felt warm, casual, and completely human.
Thanks so much for the dedication Liam
Fans loved the crossover. Some called it the most Scottish moment of the summer. Others said dedicating Stand By Me to Susan fit her story perfectly. The song is steady, hopeful, and kind, much like the way she has carried herself in the public eye. The bucket hat photo spread quickly across social media, with people who grew up on Oasis sharing it with parents who adore Susan. It was proof that music can build bridges between very different worlds.
That bridge has roots too. Liam has often spoken about pop culture, TV moments, and how big shows create unexpected connections. In past interviews, he has mentioned Susan with his usual mix of swagger and humor. A rock frontman giving a nod to a singer who once shocked the world with a single audition shows how far her impact has reached. It also shows how a short line on stage can carry a lot of meaning.

When you put Liam’s stadium dedication next to Susan’s playful reply, the story shines even brighter. His wave to her in front of tens of thousands of fans met her cozy thank you shared with millions online. Two paths crossed without effort. Fans said it reminded them that music scenes don’t need to stay in separate lanes. Opera roots and Britpop grit can sit side by side. Both are welcome, both can be celebrated.
For those who want to see more of these moments, Susan’s pages are filled with gentle notes, classic covers, and news about her albums. Between the two, you’ll find smiles, singalongs, and maybe even that Wembley poznan Susan teased. It is a reminder that music, at its best, can connect voices across genres and across generations.
