Security refuse Gallagher entry to speak to McCartney

Oasis wildman Liam gallagher was forced to plea with security guards at Britain's Glastonbury festival on Saturday - so he could chat backstage with Paul McCartney.

The singer's band had headlined the music event in south-west England the previous night and Beatles fanatic Gallagher was desperate to chat with his hero.

An onlooker says: "It was very funny - because he was surrounded by photographers, he couldn't make too much of a fuss.

"In the end the supervisor had to be called over to sort it out. Liam was not a happy bunny."
