Rock fan Les Scadding - rolling in it after a £45 million lottery win - has celebrated his birthday by meeting Motorhead legend Lemmy.
Les and wife Sam went back stage at a gig and next day returned the favour by inviting the heavy metal group to their hotel suite for a champagne party.
A pal said: "Les is a die-hard fan and was blown away to meet Motorhead. He just keeps saying, 'I can't believe it's real'."
Jobless trucker Les celebrated his 59th birthday with two £55 tickets for him and Sam, 38, for the concert in their home town of Newport, South Wales.
The next night the EuroMillions winners stayed at the five-star St David's Hotel in Cardiff and swigged £100 bubbly with family and friends.
Les and Sam arrived in a £70,000 Range Rover Sport and hired a £500-a-night suite.
Then they found Lemmy, 63, and his band were staying too and invited them up.
Yesterday the couple had still not emerged at dusk - while Motörhead took their tour bus to their next show in Swindon, Wilts. As Les and Sam prepared for a Caribbean holiday, a friend said: "Les hasn't celebrated his birthday in years as he never wanted to make a fuss. So it was a dream weekend for him."
The couple are keen to buy LED ZEPPELIN rocker Robert Plant's £2.5million mansion, 12 miles from their £150,000 semi.
