Ricky Hatton spotted singing Oasis track in haunting video days before his death

Ricky Hatton was spotted singing an Oasis track in Tenerife just days before his death. The boxer died at the age of 46 as his body was found in his Greater Manchester home.

Just days before he died he was enjoying the last of the summer sun in Tenerife. A video also circulated of the sports legend singing Oasis in a bar.

Mum Carly Leahy and her two children stopped for a drink at a bar in Costa Adeje in early September which is when they spotted the celeb. A guitarist was on stage as he asked for a man to join him for a rendition of Oasis' Wonderwall.

That's when 42-year-old Carly realised it was Ricky. She went on to share a video online which showed Ricky singing his own version of the lyrics.

He was supposed to sing "By now, you should have somehow realised what you've got to do" but instead mumbled "Somehow, you should have somehow [inaudible] what you've got to do".

Then, instead of singing "and all the roads we have to walk are winding" he sang "and all the roads that lead us there are winding and all the lights that lead us there are blinding".

Carly told Manchester Evening News that she was surprised to learn the world boxing champion didn't know the right words to the song especially as it's thought he's friendly with both Liam and Noel Gallagher.

She said: "He attempted to hit those notes, but he definitely messed up the words. I was surprised he didn't know them by heart, because I remember Oasis going to his fights back in the day."

Carly then went on to explain now "kind" Ricky was to those who wanted to meet him. "Afterwards, he was so patient and kind to everyone who approached him, so that was quite nice. The kids were over the moon to see him. Some people have really gone in on him, but he was on his holiday, enjoying himself," she said.

Ricky was found dead at his home in Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester Police confirmed the discovery of a body and stated that the death is not being treated as suspicious.

The news came just months after the fighter announced his comeback to the ring with a fight scheduled for December.

Ricky has been open about his mental health issues and drug addiction over the years. A spokesperson for GMP said: "We can confirm that we have found a body at an address on Bowlacre Road in Gee Cross at 6.45am today, Sunday, September 14. The death is not being treated as suspicious."

Ricky enjoyed a successful boxing career as he held numerous world championships, as well as UK titles and was named as Fighter of the Year back in 2015.
