Author Information

Iain Robertson is used to tough jobs; after retiring from the Parachute Regiment, he took on jobs guarding George Harrison, Gary Moore, and Johnny Rotten. But keeping Oasis on the rails after debut album Definitely Maybe ignited their rise toward global superstardom would be the toughest gig of them all. Iain Robertson was side-by-side as their road manager and minder, twenty-four hours a day, eight days a week, as they took on the world and won. No one was closer. Iain Robertson's career has continued to be just as diverse; he co-runs a property business and is a part-time fireman.
