BEYONCE AND JAY Z HOLD UP PLANES IN GLASGOW



Beyonce and Jay Z made a sharp exit from their Hampden gig in Glasgow - getting out of the city immediately after their last song.
It meant that I never got to meet up with The Queen Bey this time round although I’ve had the privilege before - we were once locked in Harvey Nicks together before an MTV event. She enjoyed some wheatgrass juice as she perused the then trendy Juicy Couture styles and then popped on a pair of sunglasses before thanking me (I’m still not sure why) for her shopping trip. We posed together for a pic before the paparazzi got her leaving.
Anyway, this time round there was no stopping as  a police convoy of four motorcyclists made sure the power couple could make a fast exit onto the motorway with one motorcyclist out in front.
It made me laugh when she went to the left, to the left of the motorway (get it?)
The couple travelled in two people carriers to the airport where, my insider there told me they entered through the Signature Private Jet compound.
Normally private planes are  stationed there but Beyonce and Jay Z had to park their humongous plane at the other side of the runway because it was too big.
That meant the couple had to be chaperoned across the actual runway while the rest of the planes at the airport were held back to allow them through. You can see the exclusive video of them doing exactly that on our website.

ED SHEERAN MEETS LES HOEY DREAMMAKER KIDS IN GLASGOW






Exclusive
Beverley Lyons
ED Sheeran met up with two Scots sick kids who just made it out of hospital in time to see him at his Hampden gig.
The Ivor Novello Award winning singer asked to meet the children after being told about their illness by charity worker Les Hoey MBE and his Dreammaker Foundation.  


He insisted they come backstage to meet him in the bowels of Hampden Stadium during his run of three gigs here.
Sara Millar, 14, from Glasgow was diagnosed with non Hodgkins Lymphoma in November and still has seventeen weeks left of chemo. She has been seriously ill with the disease and her visit to see Ed was her first night out in six months. 


Sara said: “Ed was so down to earth and more like a normal guy than a celebrity. I was so excited to meet him and we walked down to his dressing room and he came up and got a picture with me and signed an autograph. He also signed a tshirt for one of my friends Molly who couldn’t make it because she had to go back to hospital. He asked about my time in hospital too and was just so nice.”

Addison Hornal, 8, from Falkirk told her mum that meeting Ed was better than meeting Santa Claus.
Addison who suffers from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia has been in hospital for seventy days since November and was very sick in the run up to the concert.
Mum Pamela said: “Addison has just started eating properly again and was delighted to meet Ed. He kissed her on the cheek and asked her for a hug. He’s amazing and behaves like a normal guy. It was wonderful he made time to see the children.”
Les Hoey MBE added: “Ed took his time with our Dreammaker kids and really helped them to feel better after such a tough time.”

RIHANNA REACTS TO SCOTTISH CHANT ON VIDEO


HERE'S Rihanna looking confused and then delighted as her Glasgow fans gave her their famous concert chant.
The singer who performed at Hampden Park this week was thrilled to bits after Scots concert goers decided to give her a taste of home with their chant of "Here
We F***ing Go."
Work singer Rhi Rhi couldn't quite make out their lyrics but ended up congratulating them anyway.
She said: "That rocks. Y'all are awesome Glasgow. I love you guys man."
During her gig the Umbrella singer sashayed and shook her bootie like never before.


Despite brollies being banned from the stadium a few managed to smuggle them in for her big anthem.
The 50,000 capacity gig might not have been a sell out but the We Found Love star still managed to thrill her faithful followers for more than Four Five Seconds.

COLDPLAY BRING LOVE TO HAMPDEN




Maria Callas kicked off Coldplay's biggest gig in Scotland yet and we knew were in for a night of classics.
Classic partying.
For a band that is often misrepresented as being boring and bland, Chris showed his sold out crowd at Glasgow's Hampden Stadium that he has more charisma in his little pinkie than his detractors.
A Head Full of Dreams, the title track of the tour came before anthemic Yellow which got the crowd singing along.



Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall gave them more of the same and Paradise proved to be a full on party track which even had Chris dancing along the runway.
A touching tribute to Muhammud Ali came with a moving video of the Greatest man himself and later in the set Chris paid tribute to David Bowie with his own rendition of Heroes.


The crowd was warmed up and then we all exploded with joy along with the confetti cannons as we went into true party mode on the A stage with a run of the biggies Clocks, Hymn For The Weekend, Viva La Vida and Adventure For A Lifetime.


Giant bouncing balls were thrown about the stadium as everyone jumped up and down with glee like excited teenagers at their first school dance.
And then Chris and co disappeared off the stage only to reappear on an even smaller stage towards the back of the stadium giving seated guests an even better view.


He sang Amazing Grace before giving one lucky Scots fan a song she requested on Instagram.
The canons boomed, the confetti fell, the pyros blazed, the lasers blasted and Hampden was filled with love.
A sea of neon armbands waved for Up and Up, bathing the stadium in a rainbow and it was the perfect end to a brilliant day.

COLDPLAY WARM UP FOR GLASGOW'S HAMPDEN ARRIVING BY PRIVATE JET




COLDPLAY arrived by private jet in Scotland at lunchtime before their Hampden gig this evening.
Chris Martin and the lads were on top form as they stepped off their private black and white Embraer Legacy plane and were met by a fleet of people carriers at Glasgow Airport.



They came direct from London and are scheduled to fly straight out this evening.
Last time they played here however, Chris Martin stayed on to party and took a civilian flight back home the next day.
A member of their entourage took a picture of their tour buses outside the venue earlier this morning to tease fans that they'd stayed overnight.
