A group of boys from Southend are making headlines this week after managing to swarm one of Britain's biggest music stars at a gig.
The young fans found themselves up close with Oasis legend Liam Gallagher at a Miles Kane concert at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, north London.
Liam was there supporting his son Gene, whose band Villanelle was performing as support act.
Oasis fan Cameron Doran, 18, from Southend, said he and his friends had a hunch the 53-year-old star would be there and made their way upstairs hoping to catch a glimpse.
Cameron told NeedToKnow: "We looked up to the VIP section and saw what looked like Liam Gallagher.
"After a while, we confirmed it was definitely Liam and was determined to get in.
"In our heads we like Miles Kane, but Liam is our priority at this point, so if we got kicked out in an attempt to get to him, oh well."
He was joined by his Southern Heights bandmates Liam Conway, 18, Charlie Branch, 18, George Wells, 19, and Ben Hasler, 19.
The group began shouting to get Liam’s attention, prompting what they described as a "manic" scene.

Liam spotted them and shouted "Come on then," inviting the teens over as security tried to hold them back.
Undeterred, they pushed through, managing to get photos and videos with the Oasis icon before being escorted away by bouncers.
Liam also took a moment to sign a CD for one of the boys.
The group spent the rest of the gig in the VIP section, where they also met Gene and Liam’s eldest son, Lennon Gallagher, 26.
The encounter has since made headlines, shining a spotlight on the Southend teens and their brush with rock ’n’ roll royalty.
