Snoop Dogg wants Oasis ticket for Scotland show as "that's my place and they are my people"
Snoop Dogg has vowed to come to Scotland next week if Oasis will send him a ticket to one of their sold out Murrayfield gigs.
Liam and Noel are due to bring their sell-out reunion tou r to Edinburgh on Friday, Saturday and next Tuesday.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mail, Snoop, a huge fan of the band and friend of the Gallaghers, said: 'As soon as I heard they were making a comeback I knew I wanted to come and see them, and lets be real where else is Snoop gonna watch them than Scotland.
"That's my place and they are my people.
'There is not long to go until they are in Scotland now – but if the boys send me tickets I am there.
"It's a plane journey away – I can be in Scotland in no time. I will clear my schedule and make sure I am there.'
Snoop also urged the brothers to get back into the studio and write a new album together rather than just playing their old favourite hits.
He added: 'You know real music is not made the way it was used to – that's why it is so important bands like Oasis make a comeback.
"This tour has seen huge demand – now my boys Noel and Liam have put their differences aside we got to hope they make some new music when they are done with this tour.'

Snoop, 53, has been in Scotland several times and is a diehard Celtic fan. We previously revealed how he wanted to take a few Hoops stars to the Oasis gig.
He said: 'People know I never need an excuse to come visit Scotland but yeah for real.
'I tried to sign Noel back in 2009 when he had left Oasis, it just never quite happened – but the main thing is they have got back together.
"If my boy Noel is going to hook me up with tickets it would be cool if a couple of the Celtic players could also come.'
Around 200,000 fans are set to descend on Edinburgh over three days.
Oasis kicked off their highly anticipated reunion tour in Cardiff last month – walking on to the stage together for the first time since breaking up 16 years ago.

Oasis fans at Wembley gig where man died question alcohol use and security
Oasis fans who witnessed a fatal fall at Wembley stadium during a reunion concert on Saturday have questioned the security setup and the amount of alcohol being consumed in the stands. The Metropolitan police said a man in his 40s died after suffering injuries consistent with a fall at the end of the band's performance at about 10.19pm on Saturday night. On Monday, the Met announced that the Health and Safety Executive, the body which investigates accidents, had been informed. Witnesses who were 10 ft (3 metres) from where the man landed said he fell from the upper tier of Wembley's block 511, on to the aisle between block 211 and block 210. Emma, 40, from Liverpool, said the man landed next to a row behind her and her partner, Mike, only five seats away. 'I've been feeling awful ever since – I can't stop thinking about him,' she said. 'It happened directly behind our right shoulders. If he had fallen where someone was sitting, it would have killed both people.' Within seconds of the fall, several staff began trying to perform CPR on the man. Mike said: 'It's quite traumatic, seeing people just doing CPR on someone frantically. I haven't been able to focus on anything else.' Both Emma and Mike, who declined to give their full names, urged Wembley to review safety and alcohol sales at the stadium. Emma said: 'So much beer was being thrown throughout the whole concert. I was surprised they allowed people to bring drinks into the stands. It made the floor really slippy.' She added: 'They should put the security guard at the bottom of all the aisles too, and permanently station them there to stop people falling off.' Mike, who works in health and safety, said: 'Beer was coming from everywhere. I got hit by an empty cup right on the side of the head. If it had been full it would really have hurt. We started getting beer on us from the moment Oasis came on stage.' John, 52, a delivery driver from Oxford who also declined to give his full name, saw many fans leaning over the balcony from block 511. He said: 'There were loads of people who just kept going down to the front and leaning right over. One guy was stopped but after that no security came down. The security was so lax. There's a rail and a small guard but it did make me think someone could quite easily get knocked off there.' John added: 'It seemed unsafe. If they'd have actually posted a security guard at the bottom of those steps, where people were continually going, it would prevented the fall.' He was also surprised by the level of drinking at the gig. 'The amount of alcohol that was sold on the night was quite shocking. I constantly saw people with cardboard cup holders full of pints,' John said. Last week the Times revealed that Oasis fans were consuming an average of 250,000 pints a night during the Wembley gigs. Wembley Stadium has been approached for comment. In a statement on Sunday it said: 'The police have asked anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.' Saturday's concert was the fourth of seven sold-out reunion gigs at Wembley Stadium. Despite the tragedy on Saturday, the fifth gig on Sunday went ahead as planned. The sixth and seventh gigs will be in September.
