Robert Kelbie, who in 2012 admitted to a £145,000 mortgage fraud, attended the Oasis reunion gig in Cardiff last week and shared photos of himself wearing a VIP pass backstage
A notorious gangster was pictured rubbing shoulders with Noel Gallagher in the backstage of the Oasis gig in Cardiff last week.
Robert Kelbie, 41, took to Instagram to share photos of himself wearing a VIP pass while posing with the Oasis star, as well as guitarist Gem Archer and former Doctor Who star Matt Smith. He also posted a video of himself to the soundtrack of the Oasis hit Stay Young alongside the caption: “#oasis #oasismania what a great night. They’re definitely a must see.”
The fraudster, who is now a boxing promoter, previously met Noel at pal Tyson Fury’s world title fight at Wembley Stadium in 2022. He also hung out backstage with Noel in January 2023, when he was pictured chatting to him. He had captioned that post “Main man” alongside an electric guitar emoji.

Then last year, Kelbie was pictured with Noel and boxer Josh Taylor at a swanky event. An underworld source previously told the Daily Record: “Seeing Kelbie hanging out with Noel Gallagher you would think he was a rock star himself. They know each other from watching boxing before.
“Robert is well connected in that world so he’s often to be found hanging out with celebs. Who says crime doesn’t pay?” Kelbie, who in 2012 admitted to a £145,000 mortgage fraud, is a known enemy of caged cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson, 38.
Richardson is currently behind bars, while his associates – including the notorious Daniel Clan – are in a bloody turf war with Dubai-based Ross “Miami” McGill and a group known as Tamo Junto. Back in 2010, Kelbie was shot in the back outside a Bannatyne’s Health Club in Edinburgh.
Then in 2013, a volley of bullets were fired at the his home, which was fortified with spiked railings and CCTV cameras. He was again targeted by a shooter in Ratho Station in September 2016.
His new red-carpet lifestyle comes as Scotland’s gangland war involving Richardson explodes. The ongoing feud was sparked after Richardson’s men bought £500,000 of cocaine from McGill with fake cash.
