In a heartwarming turn of events, Glenn Adcook, a 69-year-old resident of Portsoy, Aberdeenshire, received an unforgettable assist from music icon Roger Daltrey during a recent concert. The retired director of Osprey Housing had a dream to propose to his partner, Lesley McInnes, and with Daltrey’s help, that dream became a reality.
A hopeful request turns into a magical moment
Attending Daltrey’s performance at Dundee’s Caird Hall, Glenn made a bold move by asking at the merchandise stall if the legendary singer could help him pop the question. To his astonishment, Daltrey agreed, turning a simple request into a memorable engagement moment.
“It was a hopeful request that worked out,” Glenn shared, reflecting on the special occasion that unfolded during the concert.
The crowd’s reaction and a surprise engagement
As the proposal took place between songs, the audience erupted in cheers and applause, creating an electric atmosphere. Glenn described the moment as “wonderful,” highlighting the support from fellow concert-goers who congratulated them both during and after the show. Lesley, 67, was taken aback by the public nature of the proposal, expressing that it was the most romantic moment she had ever experienced. “She was certainly very surprised and a bit overwhelmed,” Glenn recounted, adding that a heartfelt hug from Lesley followed the proposal.
Plans for the future and a love story blossoming
After the emotional engagement, Daltrey continued the concert with his iconic song “Who Are You,” further energizing the crowd. The couple, who began their relationship through an online dating site, met for the first time in Banff in September 2023. Now, they are excitedly planning their wedding for either May or September next year, with Glenn humorously noting that it is “never too old to tie the knot.” Their love story, blossoming in a more mature stage of life, has garnered happiness and support from friends and family alike.
Glenn expressed immense gratitude towards Roger Daltrey for facilitating such a significant moment in their lives. “It was a very emotional moment for both of us and one we will never forget,” he said, encapsulating the joy and excitement that surrounded their engagement.
