Darius Campbell Danesh laid to rest as Gerard Butler leads mourners at funeral

Hollywood actor Gerard Butler led mourners at the funeral of late Pop Idol star Darius Campbell Danesh.

An intimate funeral service was held for the Scottish singer in Glasgow on Thursday (August 25) so the star could finally be laid to rest.

It comes after the musician tragically died aged 41 and was found dead in his US apartment on August 11.

Around 100 mourners reportedly gathered to pay their tributes to the former Pop Idol star, according to The Sun and other outlets.

It was also reported a lone piper played Caledonia during the emotional procession.

A-list actor Gerard Butler, a close pal of Darius, was among those saying a final farewell to the star.

The Scottish actor previously called fellow Scot Darius a “true brother in arms” following the heartbreaking news of the singer’s death.
